How to get Wi-Fi on my iPhone 4 anywhere without paying for the data plan?
I have recently purchased an iPhone 4 for at&t but got it unlocked and am currently using it for T-mobile. I have a 3g sim card so I'm using the phone as 3g anyway i have the Wi-Fi set up at my house and places like McDonalds and what not. But i was wondering if there was any way I could get Wi-Fi wherever I go whithout paying for the data plan?
So you're asking if there's a way to get the data plan on the phone without paying for it?
Yeah, have someone else pay for it >_>
The only answer is no for these reasons:
Data and Wi-Fi are two different connections, but they deliver the same thing.
The data connection on your phone is used with antennas all around your town and only communicates with those antennas in order to provide you with phone calls, voice, text, data, etc.
Wi-Fi, also known as WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network), only extends as far as your access point broadcast. Your access point is your router.
Unless there's an access point broadcasing a Wi-Fi signal everywhere you go, you can't get "internet" on your phone with out resorting to data, that's what it's there for.
- What type of plan is it to use internet anywhere you go? I'm a super noob sorry! I'm on Rogers Canada and I want a plan that can make me use internet anywhere I go without Wi-Fi in the city. I own a iPhone 4s if you need to know that. Also please put the price/link in your answer
- Using an AT&T iPhone on AT&T without paying for data plan? I have an iPhone 4 a friend gave me for Christmas and I was looking to use it without data and just be able to go on the Internet when I have Wi-Fi, is there a way maybe if I factory unlock it that AT&T will not charge me for a data plan when I put my sim card in?
- 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…
- Is an Iphone worth paying 30 dollars a month for the data plan? So i'm a sophomore in college and i don't even have a smart phone. It feels like almost everyone has a iphone and feel like i'm missing out. I have an upgrade available through AT&T but my parents don't want to pay for a data plan. They said for my birthday in two weeks they are willing to get me an iphone and a year of data, and then i could just get my data plan renewed each year as my birthday gift. Do you think it is worth it? I'm thinking yes…
