Hi leonl sorry for the late response but i can help you for a bit...

Have you looked into the APN settings on your G1 Device in doing so just go into Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Menu > New APN in doing so you will be prompted to make a new one.

Now you can create the new APN with this:

Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank

Also just to let you know that Google sign in is a web feature and you need to unlock the phone with a Data plan, if you have already your set. Mind you that you can only surf the web via wifi because your on a pre paid plan.

Do the AT&T Gophone SIMs still work?
I have a "Pay as you go" Rate plan on it, used the $30 credit to buy MediaNet 100MB for $19.95 (there isn't a unlimited $19.95/mo anymore?).
The SIM works in the GoPhone from AT&T, but in an Android phone i have (to test, not a G1) all i get is "No SIM".
The phone is not locked in any way and should work with any SIM i can throw at it, reading so much about G1 users on Gophone SIMs, i figured i try that to get data on that phone.

Did i come too late...as in id AT&T put an end to using it on non-GoPhones?

Thanks,

Daniel

The airtime bonus locked the SIM to the gophone for 180 days, they would not change the IMEI (if that's how it keeps track)
And from sound of it, refunding will not be easy, since i "used up" the bonus.
Added media net, not aware of the 180 day lock.
So in other phone it was a total no go.
I don't see the harm, i bought a phone, IMEI proofs it, now let me use my bonus on whatever phone i want to use it on.......
Too bad i never once saw any posts mention this, all used their gphone SIM with or without airtime bonus straight away in their G1s or what not.
All activated it in the gophone before adding medianet and moving it over to ther phone.

let me know if $user missed a little tidbit here.
