No matter what carrier your using, AT&T, Sprint, etc, you need a talk, text, and data plan. It's that simple. One way that you could help yourself would be to ditch your home internet connection as you can send more email then anybody could possibly want in a month with the standard 2 GB worth of data.
I know allot of folks get scared at the thought of using their phone for their internet connection, texting etc. With the edition of a Bluetooth wireless keyboard you can do email about as easily as you could on your desktop. When I first got my iPhone over 2 years ago, I too was concerned about all that money out the door but with the sails of desktops and laptops slowing more and more, the hand writing for the future is already on the wall. People just aren't interested. Once you get use to pulling your phone out rather then your laptop, you'll be telling those who come behind you the same thing. All the best to you.to ----- Original Message ----- From: Pinky To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, July 12, 2013 6:01 PM Subject: using iphone without a data plan Hello list, I have spoken to three Verizon stores regarding having a n iphone connected with just a phone and not the data. All three places informed me I could not have the iphone connected without having a data plan. This is an Iphone I will own without any plan or contract. Can anyone advise me if this is true or not. I did also asked at one Verizon place if I have my own iphone that is unlocked can I just have the phone service. I was told I could not have the phone service without the data plan. I already have phone service with Verizon. I did see earlier on this list that someone stated that you could just have the phone service. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
