You won't get the plan for that price. The iPhone data plan is a completely separate animal. It's $30 a month for the iPhone data and $20 a month for unlimited texting. Once you put your SIM card into the iPhone and it registers on the AT&T network, your features-to-phone won't match up and AT&T will either switch your features to match the iPhone plan, call you and inform you you need to change features or bill you additional charges.

Have you considered using a prepaid T-Moblile SIM? Your monthly charges will be zero. You just refill minutes as needed. No data plan. You can use GV and Skype to minimize how many minutes you're actually using, and free texting apps.

If you really want to save money, that's the way to go.

When you have no data plan, that makes no difference.

juls1585 · 10-21-2009, 04:57 PM

wouldnt that rub the bill up though?

No. There is no data available on prepaid SIM's. You don't have to worry about disabling it, the phone won't pick it up. He would still have WiFi.

no i wouldn't want a prepaid sim. i was just wondering if there was a cheaper service or something that has everything because i think the reason why it's 80 dollars a month is due to the minute amount rate.
