Actually, someone on Apple's iPhone support forum and AT&T's forums said that starting today the $0.00 alerts would be no more. Now you only get alerts when your balance is actually affected. So I'm guessing this counts for free nights and weekends calls as well. I definitely haven't had a single $0.00 alert today while on EDGE.
I forgot to post an update. Earlier I said it didn't work. I did get my phone activated. In fact, I'm posting this from my iPhone. After multiple tries, an exchanged phone and hours with AT&T (phone and stores) something just... clicked. I was on the line with AT&T when I got an email from iTunes giving me the prepaid option. Signed up while still on the line with AT&T, and she was nice enough to credit my account $15.
All the trouble was worth it. It's an amazing device, and unlimited data rocks.
Most frustrating thing ever. 24 hours, four canceled orders, two visits to AT&T stores (where they were quite rude), one visit to Apple Store Genius Bar, an exchanged iPhone and at the very least seven different AT&T customer service operators.
Maybe many (like myself) tried to activate it as a pre-paid and couldn't... after hours on the phone and two trips to AT&T stores dealing with extremely rude clerks and managers.
I, for one, am very excited over this game. I love the cel shading, the humor and the game play in the video I've seen. I'll be keeping my eye on this one and will be first in line, pushing the 9-year olds out of the way for my copy.
Coming in iPhone 1.1.1. probably
