Can you completely disable data usage on iPhone?

I have an extra iPhone 4S that I got from a friend who's contract ended. My girlfriend has a very basic plan from AT&T (unlimited calling and texting). She can send picture messages also, but she doesn't have a data plan from what I understand. (I always thought MMS required data?) I was wondering if there was anyway I could completely disable data usage on the iPhone so there would be no charges. I know this limits the phone capabilities, but it would be an improvement to her current phone. Also would I have to register the phone in her name so she can use the phone with her SIM card or is it as easy as popping it in?
Thank you!

Your problem is that AT&T does not permit iPhones, on their network, without an associated data plan. So, like it or not, you'll still have to pay for data. If you try to use the phone without a data plan, they will eventually catch you & bill you accordingly. All carriers call tell exactly what type of device is using their network.
In fact, I'm not aware of any carrier, in the US, that will permit an iPhone on their network without an associated data plan.

  • Can you restore the data from an iPhone 6 if it has water damage?

    i want to know if i can get all the data that was on my iPhone 6 that has water damage.

    No way to tell until you try. If the water damage was severe enough
    to prevent the iPhone from starting up, then the answer is effectively no
    (see next paragraph).
    Companies specializing in data recovery may - emphasis on may - be
    able to recover some data. Attempts are very very expensive and there are
    no guarantees. Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc should assist in locating such companies.
    Have you failed to backup your iPhone or sync it to iCloud?

  • How can you  automatically disable data on a phone when the user hits the limit?

    One Verizon phone rep said she would take care of it for me.  Obviously that didn't happen so Verizon robbed me of $50 in overage fees.
    Next Verizon store rep told me to go online and do it.  Still haven't figured it out.  So, anyone know the answer?
    Not Thrilled at all with the amount of time I've spent trying to get this accomplished. 

    That gets trickier, you can install apps to monitor but stopping usage may require FamilyBase from Verizon at an additional monthly cost.

  • Disabling data usage on Elipsis Tablet does not turn of Data Usage

    Yesterday purchased 3 tablets for my kids. First thing I did when I got home was add home wifi and disable data usage. Ridicoulous but this does not disable data usage. Tablet used 4gb of data before I realized what was going on, all the while connected to home Wifi, like the data connectio took precedence. This is a major flaw of this tablet. Called Customer Service, waiting for a mgr to call back. Unfortunatly waiting on hold for over 45min without getting to tech support but in the end the only way to turn off data apparently (or at least I found) was to put in Airplane mode. This is not right!
    Even support forum states this is the way to enable/disable data. I feel dooped!

        I'm sorry you waited so long trying to get through to Tech Support dm805. I know being able to disable Mobile Data is important to keep usage under control. As Ann154 mentioned, you are able to turn off Mobile Data in Settings. You can go to Settings> Data Usage> Select Mobile Data (at top right hand side), and it will turn off.  You can also go to Settings> More> Mobile Networks> Uncheck Data Enabled.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can you tell me how to recover iphone contacts

    Recently in trouble, I lost contact because of my Prison break failed,Can you tell me how to recover iphone contacts?urgent!urgent!urgent!thanks!!!

    "jimistyle", a little bit late reply but hope you can still hear. ^^
    The fact is there might be another way to recover your lost iPhone files via iTunes on your Mac machine. This Mac utility is able to extract & restore iTunes backup files for your lost iPhone data. Not too many Mac users know that each time you sync data between your iDevice (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and iTunes, all previous records will be backed up by iTunes automatically and saved as (.sqlitedb) files. Hope this helps take your stress out. Best regards.

    Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iPhone?
    I want to free up memory?

    IT depends on what "data" you are asking about.
    if you are having storage issues on your phone, I would be happy to make suggestions.
    You can store pictures and documents in Dropbox or Google drive.  These are cloud storage apps that keep your information stored off the phone, but available any time.  You can send pages documents to either app in a different format for editing.
    make sure you delete old messages, phone logs, email, as they take up space also.

  • Can I restrict ALL data usage on a smartphone with family base

    Can I restrict all data usage through Family Base or will it still be accessible through hotspots?

    Keeganbeaty,
    Look no further help is here! Being able to manage your data usage is definitely important.
    Are you trying to limit the data usage on a certain line? if so, with Family base https://my.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=familybase&intcmp=SearchBanner:family base product:Top you can set a data limit and place a hard stop once that limit has be reached. You can also turn cellular data on the phone. What phone do you have so I can provide the steps? May I ask the reason you're looking to turn off data on the line? This is for the line you use or for someone else on the account?

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

    Hi everyone,
    Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
    When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
    In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text,  the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
    Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
    Thanks
    Wim

    create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
    updating that field with the new comments  (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
    Please refer few more links: Hope they will help
