IPhone (AT&T) without data plan method: does this work?
I read this article(?): http://www.consumerist.com/2013/01/16/heres-how-people-have-successfully-used-an-iphone-on-att-with-no-data-plan/
It stated that this is a method for using an iPhone without a data plan:
1) Put Feature (dumb) phone on account, and put SIM in feature phone
2) Call AT&T and have them put data block on this account
3) Wait a day or so and put SIM back in iPhone
4) Most folks that do this never get the data plan added to their account.
5) If you need to call AT&T back, simply put the SIM back into the feature (dumb) phone before calling them, and turn it on so it registers.
Has anyone tried this?
Only works with the old blue gophone sim cards.
- Would the iPhone 4 work without a data plan? I have a phone from Verizon, it has a simcard in it, a Verizon Vodafone sim card, now if I inserted that, turned off Cell Phone data on the iPhone and called *611 to activate it, would it work? Would I be able to call and text off of my regular plan using the iPhone and just use Wi-Fi with my own wireless connection at my house?
- Will the dry rice method still work for an iphone if it has been switched on? I dropped my phone in water and immediately took it out, dried it and turned it on to see if it worked. The phone worked but there was no sound so i googled what to do and i found the dry rice method but it said that you shouldn't turn on your phone but i did (maybe for ten mins?) so i turned it off and put it in a bag full of rice. Will the sound go back to normal because i turned on my phone? Should i put in the bag of rice with the back removed and battery exposed then?
- This payment method can't be used with the iTunes Store. Try again using another payment method. I get this error when adding PayPal? As a payment method. I live in the US and this is an option. I've contacted my bank, iTunes and PayPal and they say their is no problems at their ends so what is going on and how can I fix this. Btw I use to use PayPal as a payment method
- How does this Share Data plan work in Verizon? Ok so I bought 3 iPhone 4 and 1 Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I got the 2GB data plan. The 2GB is with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I found out is a shared data so that means the other iPhones can Use my Internet. But I don't want them to use my Internet. How do they use my Internet. Do they just go into the Internet and use or do I have to turn on my hotspot for them to use it or how?
