Can I avoid a data plan by using an unlocked T-Mobile iPhone with AT&T?
My carrier is AT&T. Currently, I have an unlocked Telus Blackberry Tour and plug in my AT&T sim card. I do this to avoid at&t automatically adding a data plan. I've done this for over a year now all is good. I'm looking to do the same with an iPhone. I was going to get an unlocked tmobile iPhone and plug in my at&t sim card. I heard that at&t can only detect the smartphone IMEIs that they have sold. Is this true? And thus, will I be able to use an unlocked tmobile iPhone on att to avoid adding a data plan.
Added (1). I'm not trying to use data. I just use Wi-Fi. I just don't want a data plan
That is considered stealing. The only way to get free data is to use wi-fi. If that is what you were using before, that is why you weren't charged. YOU NEED a data plan in order to use the internet over the mobile network. Otherwise it will not work at all.
You can't avoid the data plan on an iPhone.AT&T does regular sweeps if you're on their network and they'll automatically add a data plan when they detect your iPhone. They only new to check the part of the IMEI that says what model of phone you use.
It's against policy to use a smartphone without a data plan, so trying to avoid it could get you in trouble.
There's no guarantee that your luck will continue. Just be aware of that before you spend the money on an iPhone.
- Using my O2 free mobile data in Spain - do I turn data roaming on or will this charge? It's now free to text and call and use mobile data in Europe and I'm on contract with O2 and have unlimited everything. I'm just wondering if on my iPhone I have to turn data roaming on to get this or will this charge me? How does it work? As when I turn on my mobile data without data roaming the 3G doesn't work until I actually turn on data roaming?
- If i buy an unlocked iphone on Ebay, can i use it on a virgin mobile plan? I saw the iphone on virgin moble and it is a little more than i would like to pay for. I checked ebay and i was going to bid on an iphone in hopes to get it for a cheaper price. So i was wondering if i buy a "factory unlocked" iphone on ebay, would i just be able to go to virgin mobile's website and activate it?
