Can I buy a used iPhone 4s and use it with my AT&T plan?
I currently have a simple non-smartphone (is that even a word?) If I was to buy a used iPhone 4s could I take it into AT&T and have them put a sim card in it for me and use my current plan? How could I switch to an iPhone without an upgrade?
Yes it can be done! Its just that you have to buy this phone on Ebay, cregslist, or maybe a friend that upgraded to the iphone 5.
You could buy the phone off amazon too. But REMEMBER: phones cost MORE when you buy them without a contract. Because the original price of the phone is probably about 700 bucks. It helps when you buy the phone now since the 5th one is out so you should be able to get a nice 16gb one for like 350? Around there. The phone MUST be Unlocked!
Also remember, that data plan is required for iphone so you will also have to pay extra (20 or 30 bucks) every month.
- Is it possible to buy an iphone and NOT have to buy the plan? Is this possible and how? I'm trying to convince my parents to buy me an iPhone, but which one do I buy and can it be used without the plan for $40 or $30? All my friends keep saying different things and iim afraid the store will just sell me the expensive one.
- Is it cheaper to get a new iPhone on a plan or buy it unlocked and add a cheap plan? I can either buy the phone for $250 and pay a monthly $80 plan with data for 2 years or purchase the unlocked phone $800 and pay $30 - $50 a month - I might not get data but it wouldn't be a big deal to me, I'm just trying to find a deal thats not ridiculously expensive cause I can't really afford too too much right now. Which would be better?
- If I have a phone with no data plan, and I buy a used iPhone? When I go into the AT&T store to get my SIM card put in will they MAKE me buy a data plan? Because I don't want one. And do iPhone 4's take the tiny SIM cards or the bigger normal size SIM cards?
- Can you buy a Iphone 4 and buy a sim card that is on a pre-paid plan? Like cricket, virgin mobile or any kind of pre-paid plan you don't have to buy your phone from that company.
