Verizon Iphone 4s without data plan?

I have a verizon Iphone 4s. Right now I have an unlimited data plan which I see as a waste of money, since I only use it to check my e-mails or facebook. I asked the guy at the Verizon store if it was possible to remove the data plan and just keep my unlimited texting and minimal calling plan, he said he couldn't do that for me. Is there anyway to get around this? I like having an iphone 4s and using everything it offers, but I don't NEED to check my e-mail/facebook every second, the etra $40 seems like a waste of money. Not to mention I'm paying for four other iphones so it adds up.

All smartphones require a data plan, NO EXCEPTIONS. Check all the carriers and they will tell you the same things.

You don't wanna get rid of the verizon unlimited data… Its in demand… You must not know how to unlock phones. Or your young and dumb… Keep your plan or sell it off to someone

The only phone carrier I know that will let you have a smartphone with NO data plan is T-Mobile. I myself have an android phone, no data plan, I only use Wi-Fi for my apps.

You need data plan for a smart phone.

  • What is data in a Verizon data plan? I just got an iphone 5 and am having some trouble. I know that data includes email, accounts and any internet websites (facebook, youtube, netflix). Does it use up data to have multiple internet browsers open even though I only look at one at a time? Is it possible to use up data when the phone is off? Also, is taking a picture, playing app games, listening to music, and siri considered to be "data" on the data plan? Is there an overall explanation for what a data plan is?
  • Use an iPhone without a data plan? (verizon)? I have a flip phone that has been failing me lately. I went to verizon and saw a very small selection of phones that don't require data plans, and out of the selection there weren't any that I saw good reviews for. I know the iphone is a good quality phone, and I really want to get one, but I'm not looking to spend money on the data plan that I know I won't use. is there a way to have an iphone and not have to pay for the internet?
  • How to use an iPhone on Verizon without a data plan? I'm so sick of the garbage basic phones Verizon has, but I have no need for data (I would only ever use Wi-Fi).
  • How to activate a verizon iphone without a data plan? I heard that if you buy a verizon iphone on ebay or if someone gives you their old one, you could jailbreak it and activate with out paying for a data plan. Could I buy one from the verizon store and jailbreak it to use it without a data plan?
