Can you cancel your data plan after you buy an iPhone?
I'm with t-Mobil (yes they are getting the iPhone) and I want to buy an iPhone without a data plan, because it is much cheaper that way, and the ones that come with a data plan are $99 and the ones without are nearly $600! So I was wondering if I could get the phone and drop the plan?
No dropping the plan would mean you would have to pay a large fine that would be more than the cost of the phone
Nope. Smartphones = data plans.
Usually you need to buy a phone with a data plane. You can change it afterwards, but I don't think you can completely cancel it since a smartphone needs data to work.
Of course not, thats breaking your contract.
You are misunderstanding.
You purchase the phone AND pay for service. The phone costs the same amount whether you have a service plan or not- data included. You can choose to pay the nearly $600 upfront or get an extended payment plan and pay $99 down and then $20 a month for 24 months- that is for the phone itself, not the service.
Smartphones require data to work. If you have good access to Wi-Fi everywhere you go, you could possibly not pay for data but without that Wi-Fi your phone will not do anything but call and make basic texts (not picture messaging).
If I were you, I would either go to T-Mobile or call them (611 from your T-Mobile phone) and let them explain to you. It really sounds as if you are misunderstanding.
- If I cancel my Verizon plan can I sell my iPhone 4? I've had it over a month and they completely lied to be about the charges and I can't pay them off. If I cancel the plan can I sell the iPhone 4 since I only had it a month? Will it work for someone else?
- If I already have a data plan for tmobile, when I buy my iphone do I need to buy another? When I go to order it online, its forcing me to pick a data plan when I already have one for my current smart phone I want to replace. My family has a unlimited data plan already and I want to switch from my alcatel to a refurbished iphone 5.
- Does activating your iphone cancel your current plan for at and t? Okay, so my father and I just upgraded two phones in order to get two iphones. My Iphone came in but not my father's. I was just wondering what would happen if I activated my Iphone before he does. Also, does it cancel out the current contract we have now or what?
- Can your ios from Facebook still be on your iphone after you have deleted everything off there? My friend had an iPhone 4s she sold it and the other day while I was on Facebook on my notifications it said that she posted an ios photo but when I went to it, it was the person picture she sold it to. My friend says she made sure everything was deleted and do not see how it is possible that someone else picture popped up on her Facebook page as an ios picture and when she deleted everything she was logged out of Facebook.
