Can I use an AT&T iPhone 4S with no data plan? I have unlimited call and text?
I've had a really old phone since August 2010. This past summer, my family got an unlimited call and text plan. We don't need data, and I'm not that dependent on my phone. I just need to call, text, and use Wi-Fi whenever it's available.
Can I buy an iPhone off of eBay and pop in my SIM card? I've heard AT&T will detect that I'm using a Smartphone and charge me for it.
Please tell me if there's a way I can use an iPhone as if it's an iPod Touch that can text and call too. Thanks
Added (1). It makes sense because I wouldn't have to use a separate, old, and really hard to text with phone AND an iPod Touch, which is what I'm doing right now. I don't need data. But I need a phone that's easier to text with.
Likely not. The phone would be detected & the data plan applied. Buying an iPhone to be an iPod touch makes no sense.
Any mobile carrier will know you have a smartphone by the phones serial number (imei/esn) when you put you sim in the phone.
You can use a smartphone without a data plan with Net10 for $35 per 30 service days.
- Will I get charged for using 3G Internet if I have the unlimited data plan? My carrier is Sprint. I have an iPhone 4. I'm asking if I'll be charged if I don't use Wi-Fi.
- What can I do to keep my unlimited data plan on Verizon and upgrade to the iPhone 5? Now I already know that I can buy one full price from Verizon for about $649 but I don't want to go that route, and I don't want to buy a subsidized iPhone 5 and end up losing my unlimited data plan. Would I be able to just wait and buy a used iPhone 5 after it comes out and then have them activate the phone on my account? They wouldn't be able to take away my unlimited data would they?
- T-mobile classic 1000 minutes and unlimited text plan? Recently, my sister's friend gave her his iPhone 3g to her, but she already has a phone and gave it to me. A couple days ago my dad added a T-mobie line for me (We have the family plan that has 1000 minutes and unlimited text). Sometimes when i open the messaging/texting app on the iPhone, it says to turn on Wi-Fi or cellular data to access data. We don't have a data plan at all. Will i be charged if i have Wi-Fi + all cellular data turned off when i send or receive text messages?
- How to switch to the Walmart unlimited text and data plan from sprint? I have an iPhone 5 for about a month and a half and I switched to the sprint unlimited plan from AT&T yesterday. I just heard about walmarts new unlimited plan for the iPhone 5. Do I have to give my phone back to sprint and buy one from Walmart at full price. Someone fill me in here.
