Hello everyone,

my father currently has a business plan with AT&T, and he is upgrade eligible for an iPhone. I wanted to know if it is possible for him to use his upgrade to get the phone for $200, and then possibly cancel the data plan? Please let me know, I am eager to find out if this is possible. Thank you.

Nope, its mandatory to have a data plan on the iPhone, unless its unlocked, and especially if you get it at the subsidized price. There is no way around the data. So your looking at $69 a month for the lowest single plan. Although I havent gotten my first bill since I switched from 3G to 3G(S) I did read on the upgrade site that there is a slight discount on the rate plan. Like $5 in each category. Voice Data and Text..

no actually your wrong yes he can do that but he would be forced to jailkbreak it which is super easy i currently am using a iphone 3gs with no data plan i pay 50 a month for unlimited text and 450 min and i have a 28% discount on my plan

I'm confused. Jailbreaking a phone has nothing to do with the rate plan which is dictated by the provider. If you are under contract and have an iPhone tagged on your account they will charge you the mandatory $30 data fee. If you are NOT under contract and lie about the phone you have you can possibly get away with getting on a regular voice plan with no data package at all.

Im sorry, you guys misunderstood me... I have T-Mobile for myself, and my father wants to continue using his RAZR on AT&T. I want to make sure that I can cancel the data plan, and still be able to get the iPhone for $200. I am just using his upgrade to get the phone, and I want to know if i can cancel the data plan.

if you have t-mobile, just unlock the phone.

That I know, but I want to make sure that I will be able to get rid of the data plan on my father's AT&T account. Has anyone else done this?

You can, but theyll charge you a termination fee and might even make you return the phone back to them. Which the fees are quite a bit and you end up paying over 500 dollars. if you want no data plan or contract youll have to buy the phone at 499 599 or whatever it costs.

They will charge a termination fee for just removing the data plan?? what if i wait a month, and the iPhone is "stolen" from me? that doesn't make much sense

listen these people are dumb im under contract wat you do is upgrade get the iphone then take the sim out put it back in your razor and take the data plan off then simply put it back into the iphone and jailbreak it and your all set you will have a working iphone 3g/3gs but you sill not be able to go on the internet unless you change your mind and add the data feature otherwise you can use everything but internet and you still could use internet through any area that offers wifi

^NO you are DUMB, we all know you can unlock the phone under another service thats not the only thing he wants to do, he wants to get a upgrade for 199 and then immediately switch back over to a razr and thinks he can cancel the plan without paying anything

[glitchman]

OK,

Let's not turn this into a thread in which people call each other names... I am just asking, has anyone been able to do this? Because I read the iPhone terms of agreement, and it doesn't say anything about canceling the data plan. Thank you.

I was wondering the same thing because my brother-in-law who is with AT&T just upgraded to an iPhone 3GS because I told him I could unlock it so he could take it to Dubai where he is working.

He was wondering if he could either remove data plan, or could he at least put the SIM in his wife's phone so she could at least use the data plan as opposed to having to pay for it + voice and using neither. Anybody know on that?

Thanks,
