Can you upgrade to an iPhone 4 without a data plan?

I was trying to switch my non-smartphone to an iphone. Online it said i had to change to a data plan, but I don't want to pay an extra 10 bucks a month. I have heard this is possible so I would like to see how I can do it. Thanks!

If you activate a smartphone on Verizon's network you are required to have a data plan.

Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

Can you special order and iPhone without the oleophobic coating?

I know the old iPhones and iPods did not have an oleophobic coating on the screen. Alas, now all of their products have an oleophobic coating, which I am allergic to! I need to get a new phone and was hoping to switch to a smartphone, but yeah. Does anyone know if there is a way to special order a phone without the oleophobic coating?

No.
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Can you turn off iCloud Drive without losing data?

I enabled iCloud drive but then discovered through some articles that one should not enable iCloud Drive until Yosemite comes out and all of one's devices are running iOS8 and Yosemite on their computes. Since enabling iCloud Drive I am missing Photostream and Pages docs that I had on my phone and god knows what else. When I went to try and turn off iCloud Drive (so I can then wait until Yosemite comes out before I re-enable iCloud Drive), I get the following message:
"Are you sure you want to turn off iCloud Drive? Some changes have not been uploaded to iCloud. If you turn off iCloud Drive, these changes will be lost." Immediately below that message is a red message that says "Delete from iPhone."
What exactly would be deleted from my phone if I turn off iCloud Drive? What changes does the message refer to? Why can't I just return my phone from iCloud Drive to the regular Cloud so I can access my Photostream and my Pages data? And why on earth did Apple not alert us to the issues we would face with iOS8 if we install BEFORE Yosemite comes out? This is so frustrating!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Teresa

I would love to hear that Apple has remedied this problem. From other discussion strings that I am following related to this issue, it seems thus far we remain out of luck. I did discover that if I log onto iCloud.com I can access my files that way. Still, what a pain.
When I got the message re iCloud Drive as I was setting up my phone after the update to iOS8, it said I wouldn't be able to access my files unless all of my devices were running iOS8 OR Yosemite. That message was misleading as it really should have said all devices need to be running iOS8 AND your mac needs to be running Yosemite, as it was not an "either or" situation. So frustrating...

Can you reinstall OS X Mavericks without losing data

I think something happened to my operating system. I had to reset all permissions using the disk utility and now somethings just don't work right. For example: I can open system preferences, and when I click on iCloud, it says "loading" and then hangs up.
Can I reinstall Mavericks by downloading a copy from the app store and if so, will i lose any data?
Thanks

Hi RevRemM,
I'm not sure this can help but is it possible that you went over the limit of the iCloud data usage? I'm a bit old school but if you reinstall the OS be sure to backup every thing just incase of a problem. I've done a clean install a month ago and everything went perfect even with all my password and setting, since all my document from none apple apps are well clasified elsewhere no issue here. All was sync on the iCloud, thing is if you're having problem with iCloud my guess is that you verify if your material is on the cloud looking at icloud.com. You'll have to redo all your setting but all your document will be intact.
But yes you can reinstall over your actual system but a clean install is alway a bit cleaner.
Hope it help...

Upgrading a dumbphone to a smartphone without a data plan

When you upgrade a dumbphone to a smartphone, you have to add a data plan to that line. You also have to sign up to continue on a new, 2 year contract for that line.
Am I correct in believing that the contract only applies to maintaining phone service, and not the data plan? In other words, can I use the upgrade on the dumbphone line to get a subsidized smartphone, sign up for the 2 year contract extension, pay 1 month of data, and then go back to the dumbphone, dropping the data plan on that line?

kaybracon wrote:
"you can put the dumbphone back on the line and remove the data
but you cant have a smartphone without a data plan"
But I could then move that smartphone to another line on the same plan, a line which has unlimited data, but for which Verizon will no longer allow subsidized phone purchases without losing the unlimited data...
correct

Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now.

Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now. I am currently running 1.3.0.20 and I have enough to do with also needing to upgrade my wlc to 7.4.121.0 and getting the MSE up to 7.4.121.0 without having to stand up a new server if I don't have to. Please share any information you have in regards to your experience with coming from a version 1.2-1.3 small ovf and going to 2.1.
Thanks,
Andrew

You are better off standing up a new server. It's cleaner and safer..... you can always try to upgrade if you wish, but if things don't work out well, then you just wasted a lot of time. Snapshot the VM and export the floor plans, just in case. The ova is built around the DB size, so I don't know how well the DB will perform if you try to expand memory or drive space after an upgrade.

Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?

Can you change a black iPhone 5 case into the white iPhone 5 without buying a new phone?

Apple does not have an exchange program.
By the time you purchase the required materials to change the case from black to white and the expense to do so, you would be better off selling the black iPhone and use the proceeds to purchase a white one.

Can i upgrade to version edge without having to get a new phone?

can i upgrade to version edge without having to get a new phone?
i am currently running 4 iphones on my account. i want to only upgrade 2 out of the 4 phones. am i able to get all the phones on edge with only upgrading two of the 4 phones?

Hello ernestleo!
I'd be happy to clarify. Verizon Edge is a payment plan for your phones, so you would need to upgrade to put any line on this plan. However, it is completely fine to only upgrade 2 phones with Edge, and leave the other lines alone for the time being. You can find out more about Edge here: http://vz.to/1hJFHzr .
