I have a text only package for my iphone, b/c it saves us a lot of $ not to have MMS. However, every once in awhile I want to send an MMS with a picture. Are there any apps that allow me to send an MMS without actually having an MMS plan on my phone? I cant do it directly through AT&T because it actually won't go through.

I recently got a Blackberry Curve 8520 on O2 and I was wondering how do I get a data plan to send and receive BBM messages?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRight now I'm on a TELUS family plan with 4 people and there are no iPhones. I want to get an iPhone and have it on the family plan but also not buy a data plan. Is it possible to do this? So basically my plan would be around $25 a month with unlimited text and caller ID.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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 plan´s 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 we´ll 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.
I have a bold 9000 on Vodafone which has been unlocked. My phone provider is on O2 and I have internet access plan but not bis plan. I would like to know if I can install an O2 os on and then some way use my internet access on my O2 sim card to access the net on bold 9000?

I have an iPhone 4 and my Wife has my old 3GS, she currently uses pay as you go with the cellular data turned off on the phone and I have a £35 per month 600mins unlimited data o2 plan.
Both phones are legitimately unlocked.
Anyone know what the best tariffs / carriers are and what my options will be?
I was also wondering if it would be best to sell the unlocked 3GS once we get to the states and get her a 4 as (I believe) officially unlocked iPhones are hard to come by in the US and it might be worth enough that we'd get enough money to get her a locked 4.
Just looking for advise so any would be appreciated.
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.

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.

It seems that the new (4G) IPhone according to the leaked prototypes has a micro SIM card. So the usual upgrade plan for many (wife has a free upgrade, gets the new phone, which is swapped with the spouses current iIhone) does not work as the physical format of the cards is different.
Any idea if AT&T can transfer the SIM and change the phone numbers so that this is working again. Is this why Apple is doing this? While there is an adapter from micro to normal SIM one has to physically cut the normal sim card down (gulp). Don't want to know what AT&T is saying if you go to them and say the card doesn't work since it was cut down.
So if I have two IPhones on a family plan, will both phones have a 2GB limit, or will they share the 2GB? Anyone know how ATT will handle this?
View 15 Replies View RelatedSince AT&T seems to be ridiculous with this pushing upgrades back business, my 3GS made it so I can't upgrade myself, but I'm going to be using my little brother on the family plan's upgrade. The issue is, I'll be in California for Camp while my whole family will be in Oregon.
I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this. Can I order it to Camp with his phone number on it, then when I get it, plug it into my computer and just put my phone number in it, and still pay the $199 instead of $399? Is there a better way to do this?
I'm a current AT&T and IPhone 3G user. My contract is expired and I am eligible to upgrade to the new IPhone 4. My friend and I would like to start a family plan together and both get IPhone 4's. Would I still be able to get my $30/month unlimited data if we start a new family plan? Or would I now be reverted to AT&T new data plan?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow exactly does it work? Is it different from the family plan with normal phones. Right now I have an IPhone 3g and my wife has a basic cell phone added onto my plan as an extra line for $9.99. Would this stay the same if we BOTH were to get the new IPhone, and the only thing extra to pay for would be an extra $25 a month for the data plan for her phone? I'm just looking for a break down of how the IPhone family plan works, not sure if there is a combined family data plan or if you pay for each individually. Any info on this would be appreciated, AT&Ts site isn't very clear.
View 5 Replies View RelatedCan anyone provide me with a link to At&t's family plan pricing for the IPhone now that they have the new data plans? I'm trying to figure out whether it will be cheaper for me to get my wife an IPhone or let her keep her crappy phone on another carrier. I can't seem to find it anywhere on At&t's site.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI apologize for the constant barrage of IPhone 4 upgrade questions, but here is mine, laid out for my needs.
- My dad has himself and 4 other member of our family on a family*Family Plan.
- I am the only person in the family with an IPhone.
- Everyone is available for an AT&T upgrade, except for me (February 2011).
Here is my question:
I would like to get the new iPhone 4 when it comes out. My friend wants to buy my IPhone 3Gs. She is on Verizon. From what I read, I can do family plan upgrade transfers, etc. Could I use her phone to upgrade to an IPhone 4, sell my old phone, have her new IPhone transferred over to my 3G SIM card (I would keep my old number, and she would keep hers), and she would simply put a sim card back into her old phone, with her old number. Essentially, both myself and my mother would like to keep our existing numbers, but I would be using her upgrade for myself. However, I would be willing to change my number if that is the only way it works out. What is the exact process involved with this 'maneuver'?
I'm thinking of moving to ATT for the iPhone 4 but I'm wondering if there is still an additional fee to use an enterprise account on the iPhone. I've been looking on Apple & ATT's sites but haven't found anything about it recently.

On At&t's website I can get a family plan for like 60-70 bucks with like 450 minutes. On apples website however the cheapest is 99.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm hoping someone can help me out as ATT's website has me completely confused.As of right now, 2 people in my family have iphones and 3 others are on Sprint. I'm looking to move the 3 from Sprint to ATT in a month when their contract ends. I am trying to figure out a ballpark of what it will cost per month. I am trying to price the cost of 4 iphones + 1 normal phone. What I have come up with is:
450 Minutes for 5 Lines: 39.99 * 5 = 199.95
Unlimited Text for Plan: 20.00
Data for 2 iPhones already on ATT with unlimited data: 30*2 = 60
Data for 2 new iPhones on lowest Data Plan: 15*2 =30
Total: 310, Is this correct or am I missing something?
