Quick question- I was planning on getting an iphone 3gs…but ran into the thirty dollars a month data package and I know I can’t afford it. I currently own a blackberry…if I buy the iphone, put the sim card in my blackberry and call the att store to get the data package taken off claiming the iphone didn’t work the way I wanted it to…will everything work alright? Or should I put my sim in something like a razor? Will the $30 fee go away? ***Please help

Does anyone know at what point AT&T determined that all iPhones must have a data plan? I asked an in-store rep before buying one for my sister last year. She figured she'd try the data plan out for a month then cancel, but was told it was required. She really can't afford the $30 per month and never uses it to send email or surf the net. My understanding, when the phone was purchased in September 2008, was that the 2 year requirement was for the voice account.

She's in California. They're pretty strict with cell phone companies changing the terms of a contract, which in effect, voids the rest of the contract.

2 month ago, I upgrade my two lines with iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. I activate 3gs with $30 data/Month. and 3G no data. Next day I removed sim from 3GS and put in 2G phone and activate. Now I am paying $20 data+200sms/Month. And no data charge for second line 3G.

CMK: I purchased a used Iphone 3GS today and plugged my AT&T sim (without the data plan in it), connected with Itunes and it started working. Can make calls, text etc. I have stopped the data usage (auto updates, 3g etc). I dont know what they will do about it but so far its working fine. Also, i keep monitoring data usage and it’s still zero (using wifi rite now).

CMK : You will have to jailbreak/unlock your iphone once u do that the moment u start itune it wont tell that u need to activiate it, it would just start normall.

If u havent done jailbreak, just look for tuorial section on http://www.iclarified.com/tutorials/iphone/index.php

My son wants my old Iphone without data plan. I put his AT&T sim card from his phone only AT&T contract in my Iphone and I get a message that I have emergency calling only. Will that go away after I connect to Itunes or I do I need something additional from AT&T?

This is the ****! Corp scum will tell u $30 data is required for iPhone but I’m here to tell U data plan can be Taken off ur parasite known as iPhone. iPhone data is a feature just like txt package, u just have to get someone to take it off ur account. Put ur sim card in a different phone and go to a Att store ask 1 Of the reps to remove data plan. If they say they can’t. That’s BULLSHIT! They can do it. Offer them oral pleasure or $10 and they will do it. This is the **** out
