Use an iPhone without a data plan? (verizon)?
I have a flip phone that has been failing me lately. I went to verizon and saw a very small selection of phones that don't require data plans, and out of the selection there weren't any that I saw good reviews for. 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?
If its activated with verizon, you have to pay for the data plan. But you could buy an iPhone off ebay and then you could use it with just the Wi-Fi, this practically make the iPhone a ipod touch though. The only difference between an iphone not activated and ipod touch is, well nothing. But then you can't call/text/safari/appstore when you don't have Wi-Fi. But when you do have Wi-Fi, you can do everything! Just get the app called pinger, it lets you text for free, and call for a low price.
No. You need data plan to use a iphone.
- 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 buy an iPhone 4s from verizon, could i use it without activating it with a plan? I'm looking to buy a used Apple iPhone 4s from amazon, but i already have a phone and will only be using it as a replacement for my ipod 4. So what i need to know is will i be able to use the phone (download apps and music and stuff) without getting a plan? I realize i will not be able to use the calling, texting, and data.

- How to activate a verizon iphone without a data plan? I heard that if you buy a verizon iphone on ebay or if someone gives you their old one, you could jailbreak it and activate with out paying for a data plan. Could I buy one from the verizon store and jailbreak it to use it without a data plan?
