Do we have to pay for Wi-Fi on new iphone?
When the new iPhoneS comes out on September 20, my mother had said that she would allow me to get a new phone. However, she is not allowing for me to get the iPhone products because she says that you NEED to pay for Wi-Fi on it, even if you don't use or want the Wi-Fi, and is insisting that I get a Galaxy. However, I'm trying to convince her to get me the iPhone because I never had a iPhone before and this would be my first time (Yes, I had previous phones-just not iPhone).So is it mandatory to pa for Wi-Fi on an iPhoneS, even if you don't want the Wi-Fi? I can just connect to home Wi-Fi; I don't use Wi-Fi outside anyways. Is there anything I can do to convince her that you don't have to pay for Wi-Fi on an iPhone?
To clarify before anyone calls me a spoiled brat and that I should just get the Galaxy, I only had one previous phone before and never had a touch screen phone. Everyone has a phone in my school except me, because my mom and I are still arguing over what phone I should get.
P.S. What I'm trying to say is:
I will only connect to home Wi-Fi and I do not want to pay for unnecessary Wi-Fi (my Mom said that Apple will force you to pay for the Wi-Fi, even if you're not using it). I do not want a Wi-Fi plan that will allow me to connect anywhere outside; only my house.
Please reply, thank you!
It dpends where you are, most coffee shops are free and other public places too, but I think on trains you hve to pay
You do not pay for Wi-Fi. Only thing you would pay for is 3G which all phones have so its not just an apple thing. Also it can be turned off so you're 100% sure that your 3G data is not bring used without you noticing.
On pretty much all smartphones, iPhone and Samsung Galaxy included you can connect to all Wi-Fi networks for free if you have the passcode. Most contracts come with 3G/4G but you can buy the phone unlocked and get a SIM from your chosen network. So tell your mum that you don't have to pay for any extra Wi-Fi.
I think she is confusing 'Wi-Fi' with 'Data'.
ANY smartphone contract or SIM deal will include a paid-for data allowance - that's why they are more expensive than non-smartphone contracts.
If you get any form of smartphone you will have to have a smartphone contract / PAYG SIM.
Wi-Fi is free at home (assuming you have broadband) or at any place with free Wi-Fi.
Any data use away from Wi-Fi will use your monthly data allowance.
As long as you are not streaming video, it's unlikely you will use anywhere near your basic data allowance…
- Would I have to to pay extra for the new updated iPhone? My iPhone 6 recently broke 8 months ago and Apple is willing to give me a new one, I was wondering would they give me the newest iPhone 6s rose gold? Not for free of course but would I have to pay extra money? Like 100-200 pound extra for it?
- Verizon upgrade fee? Can I pay at the store or do I have to pay it the next bill? I plan on upgrading my phone and renewing my contract next month in January. I plan on getting the iPhone 5s. I'm on this family plan with one line. Is there's an activation fee that I have to pay? Can I pay the upgrade fee at the store while purchasing the new phone? Or do I have to pay it on the next bill?
- Is pay as you go better than pay monthy for an iphone? I can either can an iphone 4 (32gb with small scratch on screen) for 100 pounds and then have a pay as you go sim or an 8gb iphone 4 for "effectively 14.88 a month". Which works out the better deal?
- If you pay monthly for a phone is there anything else you have to pay? For Christmas I want an iPhone 8+ and pay it monthly. I would buy it from something like Verizon, us cellular, att, and others. Would I have to pay any other fees? Say it was like $23.50 a month for 24 months. Would I have to pay anything else after 24 months?
