Using Iphone with cellular plan but no data plan?
I have received a hand me down IPhone 4 from my brother and it has now been deactivated of its previous service. I would like to transfer my Verizon cellular service onto the phone without having to pay for an expensive monthly data plan since there's Wi-Fi at my house and school. My old phone is an LG Env3 (not a smart phone). I have looked all over the web for an answer about this but websites are saying it isn't possible. Is there a way i can either jailbreak, unlock, or do anything else to this IPhone in order to put my cellular plan on it without having to pay for a data plan?
Data plan required on smartphones, its that simple.
It is possible to have a smart phone (iPhone) on a prepaid plan and NOT have a data plan. For example, if your iPhone uses a SIM card and originally worked on the AT&T network, you may choose to use it with the GoPhone plan offered by AT&T. You don't have to tell them that it is an iPhone. Pay month to month. There's even an option to add data later, if you would like.
OR you could go with Straight Talk: all AT&T iPhones will work on Straight Talk (data included), no jail-breaking or unlocking necessary. There's even a way to enable the data, although the speed will be at 3G. You'll just have to search the internet on the method.
Lastly, you could officially factory unlock your iPhone (if it was used on AT&T) and use it on T-Mobile. You'll have to check with T-Mobile about available plans. For safely unlocking your AT&T iPhone for use with other GSM carriers (those that use SIM cards) here's a site I know of: https://www.stockunlocks.com
Cellular page plus is what you need that's what I have for my iPhone 4 if you have verizon call around metro pcs stores and tell them you want your veriZon iPhone flashed to page plus cellular some stores won't know what your talking about but you will find one and you need to have a clean esn they will swap it to that company and they use verizon towers I get great service and on my iPhone it says verizon I get unlimited talk txt an 250mb of data -a very small amount but I use Wi-Fi like you all for 40$ a month and I get all the iPhone capabilitys I just did this today an I highly recommend it
A simple Data plan can be had for around $30 which is far cheaper. You will get a good number of calls and text messages in these plans which will suit your needs since accessing internet will be left to Wi-Fi. But these plans are a rare bread nowadays but if you find one than get it immediately.

- My iPhone is using cellular data for photos? I have an iPhone 5s and I was looking through the "Use Cellular Data For:" section and it says I used just over 1mb of data for Photos. How? I'm NOT signed into iCloud, nor do I even have an iCloud account so it's not that. What other reason would Photos be using data for?
