Do you have to get a data plan on the iPhone 4

I want to buy an iPhone 4 but i dont want to pay $50.00 a month for a bill. If I buy the iPhone 4 on Virgin Mobile with the super tab do you have to get a data plan or can you get a normal plan for talk and text???

Very likely, yes.
Call Virgin and ask.

  • Looking to get a data plan for the sole purpose of playing online video games

    Hi everyone,
    I live in the mountains of Pine Valley, CA and the seclusion is becoming intolerable.  I'm looking to get a data plan with Verizon to play online video games, namely Diablo 3 or failing that due to latency, then Civilization 5.  Can anyone give me pointers on if this would work and what plan I could get?  Currently, I have a plan with Boost Mobile which uses Sprint cell phone towers.  I tested my internet connection with speedtest.net and received a ping as low as 140 and as high as 1000, but I'm hoping the 1000 is just due to reception issues that can be fixed with a better antenna.    The 140 ping is a little high too but I'm hoping this will be better on the Verizon network since I think their cellphone towers are closer.  The closest landmark to me is the Golden Acorn Casino at 1800 Golden Acorn Way  Campo, CA 91906.  If anyone could tell me the distance from Verizon's cell tower to the casino and Sprint's and could estimate a ping value based on that, I would really appreciate it.
    I like Verizon's data plan for 10gb but I'm confused on device connectivity.  Is this the data plan plus whatever router device I hook it up to? I would also need some sort of antenna and a router, wireless or wired.  Can anyone give me pointers on how to find these?  An estimation on Ping and bandwith speed and also on peak hours in my area would be nice too.  Thanks to anyone that can help me with this!  Oh, and while I don't think my area has coverage for 4g, though I'm pretty sure there is 3g, would I possibly get 4g if I had a strong enough antenna?

    Homefusion comes with antenna that is mounted OUTSIDE of your dwelling. That why they send someone out to install it. It also comes with the router. You're thinking of Share Everything data only plans. Where you pay $20 for the mi-fi and then pay extra on the data pending how much you want.  Share Everything with a mi-fi and 10 GB would be $80 a month when you can get Homefusion for $60 for the same 10 GB. An considering the antenna is more power and outside you're a lot more likely to get reception with Homefusion. In either case it should be noted you'll need to pass a credit check and sign a two year contract.

  • Can you put a microsim with no plan in the iPhone 5 to get passed the Activation Screen?

    I use a blackberry and I only bought the iPhone for music, camera..etc, and as a back up phone. I just want to get rid of the activation screen for good.

    I know but if I use it ONCE to activate my phone(lets say I borrow my friends nano sim), will it get passed the set up screen?

  • I am having problems with my ear pieces being pick up by bluetooth.  Do you have to BUY a special earpiece for the iphone 5?

    I have two ear pieces, one practically new, I used with the iphone 4 I had.  The iphone 5 is not discovering the earpieces, and I have no hands free capability.  Do I have to buy a special earpiece for the 5 or is there a patch or something coming out?
    SGBH

    You do not need a special headset for your iPhone. Did you pair the headset with the new iPhone? You may have to read the instructions for the headset to see if you have to put it in "discovery" mode before it will show up on the iPhone's Bluetooth settings page.

  • Getting a data plan in the Czech Republic

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a service provider that sells pre-paid sims with data in the Czech Republic.
    Can't seem to get much info from the web. 

    Out of which country?

  • HT4157 I do not have at t,I have xfinity,how do I get a data plan

    How to get a data plan on my iPad,I no longer have at t service,I have infinity.

    Xfinity is a cable provider that offers Internet and voice as well. If you don't have a 3G or 4G iPad, you don't have a data plan at all. Is your iPad a 3G or 4G iPad or WiFi only?
    If its Wifi only, the only reason that you would need a data plan is if you have a mobile hotspot like a MIFI device. AT&T data plan on the iPad would have nothing at all to do with having AT&T service for your home.

  • If I turn on Internet Sharing if I have to get a different plan or does it just impact my current data?

    I really like my Windows Phone. I have a Nokia Lumia 928 too bad Verizon is in bed with Apple, I'd like to know if I turn on Internet Sharing if I have to get a different plan or does it just impact my current data?

        We want you to always get the most out of your device, DaveBootsma! What plan are you currently on? The Nokia Lumia 928 is Mobile Hotspot compatible. If on a More Everything plan the Mobile Hotspot usage is included as part of your data plan.
    Thank you,

  • Do I have to buy a data plan? please read desc.

    I would like to purchase a iphone 4 (maybe 5) but i would ONLY like to continue with my plan with talk and text. I would NOT like to purchase a data plan for this phone.
    I would like the phone for its other uses including apps and music and such. But NOT the web features unless i use wifi. I do not want to pay for a data plan if im not going to even use it...
    Is there a "pay as you go" plan for the iphone so i only have to pay the 30 bucks IF I use the web and or download something via web outside of wifi capabilities?

    AT&T will most definitely require a data plan for an iPhone used on its network. 
    For T-Mobile you wouldn't have to have a data plan, since you would be bringing your own phone.  T-Mobile does not have an iPhone for its network.  If they do get one in the near future, you would have to buy the phone full price in order to not have the data plan.
    I am pretty sure I heard somewhere that AT&T offered smartphones without data plans, I have heard many complaints about Verizon not selling smartphones without a data plan, and I am pretty sure they said something like that they were able to do so on AT&T/T-Mobile, so why not Verizon?
    I don't see T-Mobile getting the iPhone, and if they do, it will still technically be the AT&T iPhone, AT&T bought out T-Mobile (US) from Deutsche Telekom in Germany, so AT&T technically owns (or will own) T-Mobile, I am not sure if AT&T plans on keeping the T-Mobile name though
    Nope, AT&T requires a data plan of atleast $15 a month for all smartphones.

    Just like Verizon's site, if you read the fine print under each smartphone picture, it says this.
    T-Mobile also requires a data plan for smartphones.
    http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/
    I didn't know about that, though that only seems to apply if you buy the phone at the 2yr contract price, therefore if you buy the phone at retail price, or bring in an unlocked phone, a SIM without a data plan could be used in a smartphone and the smartphone should work without a data plan
    With Verizon on the other hand, being a CDMA network and no CDMA phone can be "unlocked" and doesn't use SIM cards, even if someone did bring in their own CDMA smartphone (flashed for Verizon of course) or bought their smartphone at retail price, they would still need a data plan, wouldn't they?

  • Do you have to get special packages for the iphone?

    Do you have to get special packages, that you have to pay for monthly, in order to get say internet, GPS, weather, etc?

    As noted, you have to purchase the $30/month unlimited data plan, which covers all internet and email access, including the iPhone YouTube, weather, maps, and stock widgets. For SMS, you can pay-as-you-go, or sign up for one of the packages (I'll be getting the $5 for 200/month add-on).
    GPS is free, though various location based applications and services may not be.

  • How to get a Data Plan for a Macbook

    I have a 2008 white Macbook, and am looking to get a data plan to connect to the internet while in a rural area that has excellent cell-phone reception. I see that companies like Verizon and AT&T have data plans, but I can't figure out what I need to actually have and do to make those plans work on my Macbook.
    Do I need a special card or any other additional hardware?
    What is a good data plan that has no annual contract?
    How do I actually go about signing up for it (the wireless companies' websites are confusing)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm with Verizon and they have USB devices that work very well for what you want to do. I admit that the website is not to good for finding information but if you can go into a Verizon Store, they will be able to get you fixed up on a data plan which usually includes a free USB device. I suggest Verizon as a carrier because AT&T's rural coverage is not to good.

  • Is there ANYWAY for Loyal Customers to get 4GB data plan for $30

    Is there ANYWAY for Loyal Customers to get 4GB data plan for $30. I just got a new upgrade, but I really want the 4GB, because 2GB is very little (for a Smartphone and its multiple capabilities). PLEASE HELP VERIZON!!!!
    - from your LOYAL customers.

    Did you upgrade to a 4G phone? The double data deal is only for 4G phones.
    Additionally, this is for ALL 4G phones, even if you are not upgrading. If you currently have a 4G phone which is on the 2GB tiered plan, you can sign into My Verizon and change it to the double data deal. At least it will let me change a 4G phone I have which was purchased last May to the double data deal.

  • My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this?

    My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c.  If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs?

    I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c.  If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs

        dianneb, great question and thanks for the help Weth. The good news is if you're on More Everything the mobile hotspot would be apart of your plan just as Weth mentioned. What you just want to keep in mind is that the usage from the tablet while connected to the hotspot would take from your current plan allowance. Hope this helps!

  • I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. As I did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the dull amount, will they unlock my phone

    I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. i did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the full  amount, will they unlock my phone

    AT&T has not as of yet announced any plans to unlock an iPhone that was purchased as locked to them. Whether or not they will do so in the future, only AT&T would know, and they probably will not say unless and until they're ready to make an official announcement.  There is nothing Apple can do for you in this matter unless you are still within the timeframe for returning the iPhone.
