How to use an iPhone without a data plan?

My friend uses her iphone and she doesn't have the data plan and it doesn't charge to her bill. She said there's something you can turn off in the settings. Does anyone know anything about this? I would like to use mine.

Serious answers only. Answer if you know FOR SURE. No assumptions

SETTINGS>NETWORK>

Turn "Cellular Data" to OFF.

Done.

PS: Keep in mind your friend may be using a Cellular Provider that does not offer the iPhone as their lineup, but she activated her phone with them after she was out of her previous contract. When you buy an iPhone from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile you MUST get a data-plan. They won't sell it without it.

  • Use an iPhone without a data plan? (verizon)? I have a flip phone that has been failing me lately.

I know the iphone is a good quality phone, and I really want to get one, but I'm not looking to spend money on the data plan that I know I won't use. is there a way to have an iphone and not have to pay for the internet?

  • How to use my iPhone 4s without a data plan? I currently have an iPhone 4s with a 3gb data plan with AT&T, but id rather not have a data plan at all. My cousin told me that I can get a new sim card and tell them that i have a different phone that doesn't require a data plan, then cut up the sim card to fit my iPhone 4s. Would that work? If not, what will work?
