Can I get JUST talk & text service on an old (or unlocked) iPhone?

I have an old iPhone 5, not on a contract anymore.
Is it possible to get just cell service to it, no data? I'm willing to unlock/jail break it if i can.
Currently using a horrible basic phone, and like my iPhone but don't need the data plan with it!

Pretty much, yes. Although without a data plan, the smartphone wouldn't be so smart!

  • New iPhone won't get service but my older iPhone gets service? I just got a 6s and went to the Verizon store to get my upgrade. I used to have a 5s. My 5s is still getting service and my 6s is not. I turned off cellular data on my 5s and and made sure both data and LTE were working on my 6s but it still isn't working.
  • My old iPhone 5c won't turn on even though it was working fine a month ago and has just been in a drawer since. How can I get it working? I upgraded my iPhone a month ago and have been experiencing problems so I need to get it fixed. It will be weeks until I get it back so I decided I d use my old iPhone 5c until then. But I can't turn it on, it was working fine last time I used it a mo th ago. I tried charging for hours and hours and holding sleep and home buttons etc and it still won't come on. My charger is fine. How can I turn it on?
  • Iphone 4, unlocked and jailbroken, straight talk, says no service? Hi, I bought an already jailbroken and unlocked I phone. I oreder the sim card from straight talk, and put it in my phone as instructed. I accepted as the phone instructed me, dialed 122, hung up after 2 seconds, changed it to airplane mode, and then back again. It just says searching, then it says no service. I called straight talk and got no help. They seem to think the sim card and airtime minutes were already activated.
