This is widely discussed that ATT will detect it's a smart phone and will automatically upgrade your plan.

I have cell phone service with ATT and use a basic phone(LG Expression). If I buy an unlocked Apple IPhone 5c and install the SIM card from my basic phone into the unlocked Apple, will it work on ATT service? Are there any pitfalls in doing this?
