Can I buy an Iphone and not use the data plan?
I don't know how to phrase this right but i'll try. I want to buy an Iphone (4 or 5) for AT&T and i need an affordable plan. First off, do i NEED a data plan? And if so, if i do get it will I need to always use it? Because have an iPad and it doesn't have a data plan. I just use data when I have a Wi-Fi connection. Would the same apply if I get the iphone? Or am I only able to use Wi-Fi if i have a data plan or something? Or is the data plan just used when there's no Wi-Fi connection? Please, anyone who has experience with iphones or at&t, help me out.
Heres the deal, there are Dumbphones smartphones and superphones
dumbphones, just don't even look at em
smartphones are the ones that some companies sell for cheap, say the Xperia U which is a smartphone, you don't need a data plan for that, as its really cheap but still has great specs
the iPhone or SG3 or any superphone is over $300 that is where they charge you $50 or more a month on a 3yr contract and you HAVE TO HAVE DATA even if its only like 100mb, its still $50 a month
I have the Xperia U, just as good as all the smartphones, and the plan is only $30
there's some companies that feature cheaper plans like Virgin mobile but, for AT&T or sprint or any big US carriers, you need data
or you can just buy the phone for $600 and get a 10 dollar plan, btw All SMARTPHONES CAN USE Wi-Fi
Data= data used on your phone through your carrier ATnT
Wi-Fi= info (data) used at home, only charged through your Wi-Fi company like Rogers or what ever internet provider you have

- 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 use personal hotspot on iPhone, will it use my Wi-Fi or data plan? There are 2 computers in my house. One of them won't connect to the router. So I figure while my iPhone has Wi-Fi access, I can turn on personal hotspot and make the computer connect to the iPhones personal hotspot
