Can I turn off data after getting an iPhone?
I can't afford a data plan, but is it possible to get the iPhone with the data plan, pay for a month, and then call AT&T and tell them i don't want the data plan anymore, but still keep the iPhone?
Nope, when you get a smartphone a data plan is mandatory and will be forced on you… At least with Att
My brother bought a smartphone off contract… Full price from an outside retailer… Two weeks later he gets a text from Att stating that a data plan is required for smart phones and that one was being added to the plan… He doesn't even own the account… He's part of our family plan… So my mom who owns it had no say… She tried telling them to take it off but they said he would haveto switch to a non smartphone to remove the data plan
No, you will need the data plan for the whole contract.
Why would you think you could? The ads say with a contract. Obviously the price is a discount given in exchange for your contract.
You have to get the whole plan - that's the point of the discount. Of course if you could turn off the data plan you've pretty much turned off the biggest point of getting a smartphone. Many basic phones can play music and video like an iPhone; you can run apps and surf using Wi-Fi on an iPod Touch, and that would cost as much as a new iPhone w/a contract.

- Should I turn on or turn off my cellular data on my Iphone 4? I want to use as little data from my monthly plan as possible. Should I turn off my cellular data? It says it would restrict all data to WI-FI if turned off.
- IPhone lock button broken. Can turn off but how do i turn it on? The lock button at the top of my iphone is broken, but i have been using it fine as i have turned on 'Assistive Touch' and have been using the white dot that appears on screen. However, I'm worried about turning it off, and surely the white dot will disappeaer when the phone is off, and I will have no way of turning it on? Am I correct in thinking this?
