Is it possible to have no data plan on an iPhone?

I have a non smartphone right now. If i buy an unlocked iPhone, can i transfer the sim card from my phone to the iPhone and just pay the $10/month and not have a data plan. (just have talk and text)

What's an iPhone with no data plan? Useless.

That is possible. On an unlocked iPhone you can use any sim card.

Based on what you're saying as far as price wise goes, I would assume you have AT&T. With that being said, their system scans for iPhones on the network without a data plan. Anytime you call customer service, they can see what phone your sim card is in immediately on their screen.

What I'm getting at is that since their network does a scan once every month/week or so, it will automatically add a data plan, weather or not you're in contract or it's locked to a network or whatever. They're isn't any way around it, sadly. Even if you call customer service, they can remove the data plan but if you wait a week it will be added back on again.

Honestly, I would say to just get the data plan. If you don't want it, then don't bother with the iPhone.

I would just go with this.

Unlimited Talk, Text, 4G Nationwide Data for only $49 and with out contracts! You can actually make your bill $0 with this company, seriously.

Regarding prepaid iPhones, the cheapest plan that I'm aware is around 40-45 dollars per month. These plans typically include talk, text and data.

  • 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?
  • Is it possible to not have a data plan for my AT&T iPhone? I have Wi-Fi I can use almost everywhere I go, and I don't need it when I'm driving. I think having to pay that much a month for something I don't need is ridiculous. I actually have data turned off on my phone. I need it for calling and text, but not the 3G data.

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone with no data plan/sim card? I have an old Samsung Galaxy S2 and the contract expired. I moved my SIMcard to a new phone and now the S2 has no data plan. But it still runs apps, plays movies, use Wi-Fi, etc. Can I also do this with an iPhone? I would I be able to find one for sale on Amazon or ebay?
