Does an iphone 5 HAVE to have a Data plan?
For any phone company like bell? Does it need a data plan or can it just have unlimited txt an picture and minutes?
You won't be able to use any thing but calling and texting. Kinda defetes the purpose of spending that much money on a phone that can't do anything.
In a way yes it does, as one of the whole points of owning an iPhone is take advantage of the thing's it can do. If you don't have a date plan you basically lose a lot of the different functions that you have just paid £500 for. Making the phone no better than the Nokia's we all had 14 years ago.
Well it doesn't absolutely have to have a data plan, but the carriers require smartphones to have them.
Carriers usually require smartphones to have a data plan although I'm not familiar how Canadian carriers work.
If they do allow you to, there would be no point in spending that much money on an iPhone if all you do is talk and text. Any non smartphone can do that.
- When you have Wi-Fi and cellular data on at the same time, does it use cellular data? If I keep my cellular data on and also have my iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, will it use any of my cellular data?
- When using Kik messenger on iPhone with your data plan, how much mb does it use? I'm getting an iPhone, and I tend to use kik messenger a lot on my blackberry already.

- What is data in a Verizon data plan? I just got an iphone 5 and am having some trouble. I know that data includes email, accounts and any internet websites (facebook, youtube, netflix). Does it use up data to have multiple internet browsers open even though I only look at one at a time? Is it possible to use up data when the phone is off? Also, is taking a picture, playing app games, listening to music, and siri considered to be "data" on the data plan? Is there an overall explanation for what a data plan is?
- If I have Wi-Fi on my iphone and I have cellular data on do I get charges for data? For whatever crazy reason my iphone 4 won't send pics unless its over Wi-Fi through an iMessage to another iPhone or I have cellular data on to send it to a not iPhone phone. I just turned the cellular data even though I had Wi-Fi so I could send a pic. Did this cost me data?
