IPhone :: Phone Fully Functional Without Data Plan?

Aug 13, 2010

So I want to buy an unlocked iPhone. I currently don't have a data plan (and i'm seriously not intending on getting one) and I was just wondering if the iPhone is fully functional without it?

So if, for example, i buy one of those jailbroken/unlocked iphones from ebay I can use it normally with just the wi-fi. Like, use applications and check the internet and such. I'm asking because I recently found out that in Blackberry's this isn't the case - you can't use any apps without having a data plan.

BB Torch 9800 :: Track-pad Doesn't Seem Fully Functional / When Navigating Through Menus

Aug 16, 2010

Anyone have any issues with Poynt on the Torch? I installed Poynt v1.5.4.12 and the trackpad doesn't seem fully functional when navigating through the menus.Say if I go to Movies, I can't click on the trackpad to select any of the options, like "Movies Near Me" or "Theaters Near Me."Instead, I have to select the option using the touchscreen.Then when I go to theaters or movies, the touchpad can only highlight the first theater/movie, then jumps to "More" at the bottom instead of the next theater/movie when you try scrolling down.At least here I can click on the trackpad to bring up the popup menu, though only for that first item on the list.I can move through the lists by flicking up/down on the touchscreen, but if I try to highlight an item by touching it, it always brings up the popup menu, which is annoying when all I want to do is see the movie times, which would be displayed just by highlighting the item.

IPhone 3G :: Deactivate Data Plan And Register New Phone

Feb 8, 2010

I sold my iphone because it broke. I now have a new phone that is not a AT&T phone and want to use it in place of my iphone. However it still has the data plan activated and will not let me change it on my account online.Can I change away from my data plan since I will no longer need it? It appears some people in the thread below were able to get rid of their data plan and still use their iphone. I dont want to use the iphone anymore but can I do this as well? What will i need to do this? Do I need a AT&T branded phone to register first?

Lumia 1520 :: How To Fully Erase Personal Data On Phone

Dec 17, 2014

in order to perform a hard reset, the phone has to be turned off, and I can't do that because of the dead screen. My phone still has close to full battery though, so I'm waiting for it to drain off slowly... My question is, will the phone turn on automatically when I eventually charge it with a dead battery.

BB Curve 8500 :: 8520 No Data Plan With Carrier / In Post Payment Plan

Jan 4, 2010

I have the 8520, and have no data plan with my carrier in my post payment plan, i thought , since i have wi-fi at home, office and tons of hot spots. I can use my BB to access the web using free wi-fi as i have been doing with my last 4 smartphones.Big mistake. i have been charged 55 us last month, for data transfer use , i ran to my planŽs assistance office ( telcel in Mexico ), and the answer i got was. you have to get a data plan from us to be able to use wi-fi ( obviuosly i stared at her , just nodding my head ).There is no point in having a device that has acces to wi fi networks , if i cant access the wi fi network without you data plan, so i got the lady to bring the tech guy. His response was...naaahhh...it will access the wi fi. but weŽll charge u anyway. you need to disable the network from the phone and only leave the wi fi option on so you can access without any other charge, but this will leave you with no phone connection.

Is this real? did i just spend 399us in a gadget that has wi fi capabilities but will not be able to get on any wi fi connection form home or work, without being charged for data transmission over my cell providers network?cmon this sounds as stupid as it does in my head ? i would be really disapointed if i just left my old Nokia E71 SPhone, for this beautiful BB Curve 8520 THAT DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE WI Fi.

BB Curve 83xx :: How To Unlock Used Phone - What Options Other Then Data Plan

May 4, 2010

I have a L....O.....N.....G story and it's complicated so I'm just going to try and get bits and pieces and see if i can guess what the puzzle is about.my neighbor tossed his BB 8300, my direction.the lil gizmo that scrolls is bad but sorta still works
the keyboard is too small but works better than my phone keypad for text
the screen is bigger than my current phone.best of all, the FONT size. I can see it without a mag glass

1 how can I un-lock it (at&t)

2 can I get prepaid through Tmobile and use this for basic phone/text and NOT use a "data" plan.

I really just want a phone that I can see with a keyboard I can type text with.
Verizon (my current) has phones with big displays and keyboards but they have a greedy requirement of "data plan" for those phones.The best they will offer is a "Cosmos". Nice keyboard but tiny display. I asked a VZ rep here on CB and the guy got all bent and childish calling me names and such.Hey, I'm the one paying so why can't I get something I am happy with?

IPhone :: 200mb Data Plan Enough? Or Should I Wait For IP4 Data Usage

Jun 18, 2010

I checked out my data usage on the att website and it turns out surprisingly that i consistently use under 200mb a month.

1. I beejive im every work day for at least 2 hours on edge(don't tell my boss) but it suprisingly only comes out to only about 4mbs per day (if i used 3g would the data consumption be higher?)

2. I maybe use slingplayer 1 day a month on 3g (sad) about 10mbs i think

3. I grab email manually by opening up the mail app maybe twice a day max.

Do you think i should switch asap? or is it best recommended to view iphone 4 data usage first in case i upload 720p video (which i doubt they will let you do)

IPhone :: Could Not Activate Cellular Data Network / No Data Plan

Jun 20, 2010

I bought an iPhone 3GS off a guy on craigslist and it works great, no complaints. But every few minutes or so I get the alert saying that I "Cannot activate cellular data network - You are not subscribed to a cellular data service", and it's really annoying because it lights up my iPhone all the time and kills my battery. It's also really annoying - it comes up whenever I'm typing a message or playing a game; literally when I do ANYTHING on my phone. I do not have a data plan, but I have used 'unlockit.co.nz' to install a Fake APN to my iPhone to block data. Rogers has also given me a data block. This has been going on ever since I bought the phone, I thought installing a Fake APN would stop it but I guess not. I can't really restore since I have a lot of stuff on this iPhone already.. but if that's the only option then I will be forced to. I used to have an unlocked Fido 3G (about 2 months ago) without data and it never gave me this alert, do you think it has something to do with my 3GS being locked to Rogers?

This phone is a jailbroken iPhone 3GS (model MC143C) running version 3.1.3 (7E18) and locked to the "Rogers 5.0" network. If it helps the modem firmware is 05.12.01.if there are no real solutions, I still have 2 months left on my warranty. Would Apple fix it or give me a new one if I un-jailbreak it?

IPhone :: IPad Data Plan On Data Card?

Jun 2, 2010

Does anyone know what happens if you get an (activated) iPad micro-SIM and put it in a PC data card? Grabbing the $30/month for unlimited data before it goes away would be attractive if it works.

I'm aware I'd have to get a micro-SIM to SIM adaptor, but what else? Change the APN my PC uses? Does AT&T check the IMEI? I've been searching but no one seems to have tried it, unless my search-fu skills are failing me.

IPhone :: Using 3Gs On ATT Without Data Plan?

I now have an iPhone 4 and am getting ready to sell my 3Gs. However, a family member would love to have the 3Gs but does not use texting, email, etc.Is there a way I can use the 3Gs on our ATT Family plan but without the cost of a data plan? My new iPhone 4 is on the Family Plan.Is this where "unlocking" the iPhone would apply?Very basic question - easier (for me) to ask than searching.

IPhone :: Is The 2GB Data Plan Enough For The 4S

Apr 22, 2012

should I leave WiFi on?? I heard WiFi uses more battery when on. I have Verizon by the way. I only use the internet to:

- Check/Send Email (Send like 2 or 3 emails a week)

- Stream music like Pandora for like 1 hour, about three times a week

- Facebook

- Games using Game Center

I thought that I would connect to WiFi only when I download apps. Because downloading apps usually takes up all my data.

Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

IPhone :: 3 Phones In One Monthly Data Plan

Jun 2, 2010

I'm almost 100% certain that my parents will buy me an iPhone. My parents and I are currently with T-Mobile and will switch for the iPhone 4G/HD/whatever it's called. But I was browsing around AT&T's site and it seems you need to pay $30 for each iPhone's data plan on a family plan. Basically, if I wanted 3 iPhones in one family plan, then I would have to pay $90 a month for the data plan for all 3. Is this true?

IPhone :: AT&T Data Plan Change And How It Screws Us All

Jun 11, 2010

RIGHT NOW in 2010: yes 2gigs of usage for a phone (even the iPhone) is a lot and most people will not reach that even with intense usage. HOWEVER looking forward. What happens once 4g is developed, once we can make these FaceTime calls over the network, once we can most certainly use Skype with the front facing camera. What happens when data just becomes more available. I really see 2g being reached easily in the not so distant future.

My theory is AT&T has thought about this and has come up with a plan to make us think that by "downgrading" to a 2gig plan for $25/month we will save money. In the long run I fear that this may not be the case. I fear, so much so that I'm writing this post, that we may see a great spike in the amount of people using more than 2gigs of data per month. I fear that AT&T has thought about this and is planning ahead to reap the benefits. I am attempting to think outside the box and that tends to lead to crazy thoughts that may be completely unfounded, but I have had this discussion with a few people and they seem to agree I'm not crazy this time.

In light of this I am thinking that I will keep that extra infinite amount of data/month and continue to pay the 5 dollar premium, because once I opt out of this it's gone for good. We, the current iPhone users, have the opportunity to exploit AT&T's plan to limit our future data needs by spending more money now.

IPhone 3GS :: Transferring Different Line On Plan Without Data?

Jun 16, 2010

So I am hopefully getting the iPhone 4 on the launch date, however I would like to give my 3GS to my dad for fathers day. Is there a way without jailbreaking/unclocking so that the 3GS does not have a data plan? We are on a family share plan. I thought the data contract was required with the initial purchase of the phone due to the subsidy, but now that I am upgrading to the iPhone 4 I should be renewing my 2 year data contract. Any ideas?

IPhone :: How Does Data Plan/usage Work

Mar 22, 2012

I just bought the iphone4s with the 300mb data plan. At first I thought this was a good choice as I will use wifi most of the time. But then I noticed that a lot of the apps need the Internet to run properly. My question is, how exactly does the data usage work with apps? If I download apps such as Facebook, words with friends, Brkery story, etc that uses the Internet constantly will it use up my data usage when I am not connected to wifi? What if the app is not open? Will it still use my data then? Also, how much data does a gps app use? For example, I get lost and use the gps while driving. How much data will the gps/navigation app use? Should I upgrade my plan if I am planning on downloading a lot of apps and checking it from time to time when I am away from wifi (will be downloading apps via wifi).?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
