A friend of mine has unlimited talk and text with T-Mobile without a Data Plan. I don't know how much he pays.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cannot avoid data plan - least expensive unlimited talk and text on AT&T now is $45 USD per month.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.With ATT your smart phone must have a data plan...I think they start around $20 per month.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I faces this issue several years ago when I upgraded my son's phone to a 'smart' phone. At the time I only had a flip phone that allowed only talking--no browsing, etc. However, ATT still offered the unlimited lifetime data plan which I purchased for my tech-savy son.. Knowing that I would eventually upgrade to a smart phone capable of web browsing I wanted to add the unlimited data plan to my "dumb" phone in order to have it when my hardware supported it. At that time (Aug, 2008 I think) ATT would NOT allow you to purchase data plans unless you had a data capable phone. Based upon a recent upgrade of phones that occurred in Nov, 2013 I believe that you are forced to purchase a minimal plan with data if you buy virtually any smart phone. I doubt that they even sell a phone now that doesn't have data capability. A quick call to an ATT store can surely resolve this matter with you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you want to do anything other than phone calls on your phone, you will want a data plan. If you send/receive photos or emails, some apps definitely use data. I would suggest getting a data plan!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Iphone 5s is a great smartphone! It's going to be hard to find a cheap plan...But most plans have unlimited txt and talk...What gets us is it being a smartphone...which comes with unlimited data usage...Good luck on your choice!
