Can an Iphone4 be used without a data plan?

I have an extra Iphone in a drawer and wanted to use it solely for text and talk. Will prepaid unlimited talk & text without data minutes work? I will never use the data functions of the phone. No Fb, twitter, GPS, etc. Just talk & text.

Can't get a plan or card or account on any smartphone without data--period. Besides, to text it takes cell data or Wi-Fi--not way around it. That's how they make their money. You can use Wi-Fi for all of those things anyway. All lot of prepaid plans have decent deals on long talk times decent text package and a bare bones data plan. Try to opt for that. Best luck.

You don't need a data plan for text and talk. You can go Pay as you go.

Definitely you can use but then why iPhone you can go for any other phone with text & calling feature

No. Once it is detected on the network a data plan would be applied.

It depends on who your carrier is. For the most part no however.
