Can you insert a sim from a dumbphone into the new iphone if I have T-mobile?
I'm trying to avoid a data plan. I know AT&T detects if you are using a smart phone, but I heard T-mobile doesn't. And I could just use Wi-Fi. Is this possible, and could I cut the card to fit? Is there any way at all to do this?
Whoever told you T-Mobile doesn't, is wrong.
There's absolutely 0 way to avoid a data plan.
I do the same thing with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile. I pay by buying money cards for T-mobile and have data disabled. I pay a flat rate for Texts/SMS/MMS. You would have to cut the sim card down to Nano-sim if you are using the iPhone 5/5C/5S.
The iPhone 5/5S uses a micro sim card, which is most likely not the same type of sim card used in dumbphones. You can't cut it to fit, and unfortunately you will have to pay for a data plan. You could try switching to another contract free carrier such as Virgin Mobile (their smartphone plans start at $35 a month for unlimited texts and data and 300 minutes).
You could do that on any carrier with any phone, but this will not help you avoid a data plan.
The SIM card I used in my iPhone 2G & 4 was the same I used in a Nokia 5100 & 6230i before hand.
- Will an iphone 4 change carrier if i just insert a new sim? My brother has inherited our dads old iPhone 4, and it was on O2. But now he has a 3 sim, and he is trying to install it. He took out the old sim and inserted the new one while it was on. And nothings happening. Is this normal? Has he broken it? Please reply as soon as possible!
- Will all the history on my old iPhone be kept on the SIM card when I insert it into my new iPhone? Will all the call history, internet history, text history, etc be kept on the SIM card when I put it into my new iPhone?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- If i buy unlocked iphone 5 and insert my t-mobile sim card in it, will it work? T-mobile offers no iphone and i have 2 year contract with them. I read on internet that many t-mobile users have started using iphone after they buy it unlocked. But i went to at and t store and they said it will not work with t-mobile and that if i sign up contract with them, only then it will work. so who is liar - the internet users or the at and t shop?
