I want an iphone, but not the data package...is this possible?

I am a guy...I don't get to carry around a purse, and I have limited room in my pockets. I would like to get an iphone but I don't want the $30 a month data package. For some reason this is very difficult for people to understand but it is quite simple. I pretty much have access to WiFi everywhere I go, so I don't need this absurdly high priced data package. I just want to be able to use the phone itself and use the Internet and email when I am in a WiFi area as well as take pictures and have a calender etc.
I am a current AT&T customer and I am eligible for an iphone uprage. So my question is this. Can I buy the iphone 3G, sign up for the data package (since it is required at purchase) and then cancel it soon after so I can just use it as a phone and a WiFi internet access? I would really appreciate a solid answer to this, since even the AT&T store representatives don't know how to answer this. I really don't think it's that difficult a question...
Thanks!

Sorry, but no. The iPhone requires a data package. You cannot get the iphone and then later take off the data package. ATT will not allow that, plus the iPhone uses the data for it's voicemail. The voicemail will only download over a data network, not wi-fi. If you can't or don't want to spend the $30/month, then the best bet is to go with another phone.
iPhone : voice and data. Can't get one without the other
Sorry for the bad news!

    Hope you can help.
    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

    My ical will synch to my iphone, but not the reverse. Whats up with that?

    An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. The iPod sees the rebuilt computer as a new iTunes library. To make this computer the syncing computer
    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • I want to get rid of all unwanted apps off my iphone5.  I mean the ones appear as bought but not in use.  Is this possible?

    I want to get rid of all unwanted apps off my iphone5.  I mean the ones appear as bought but not in use.  Is this possible?

    No, you can not delete the pre-installed apps. However, you can hide them by placing them in a folder (create one by dragging one app onto another) and putting that folder on an unused page.

  • Syncing of calendar works only from icloud to iphone but not the other way round

    My iphone is suddenly not syncing with icloud anymore. I sync only the Calendar (ical). From the icloud calendar to the iPhone calendar syncing is working but not the other way round. I was at a genius bar but they could not solve the problem. Apple phone support suggested nothing I haven't tried like reboot etc. Any ideas how to solve the problem?

    Go to Settings>Mails, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to Calendars section and check the Default Calendar. Must be the iCloud calendar. If you don't see this option it means that you have only the iCloud calendar in your iPhone. In that case try to turn off the Calendar from iCloud settings and turn it back on after few seconds.

  • Copy database structure but not the data

    I'm looking to create a new version of a database but with completely reloaded data - so I want to retain the database structure but none of the data.
    Is there an easy way (read: without a DBA on staff) to copy an existing database structure - preferably with views and stored procedures - and not take the data along for the ride?
    Thanks in advance for suggestions...!

    My mistake Judith.
    Using Object Explorer, [Right Click] on the database,
    Select [Tasks],
    Then [Generate Scripts...]
    On the first screen, check the 'Script all objects' checkbox.
    You can either save to a file or into a window. When the scripts are finished, go to the top and change the name of the database, then run the scripts.
    That 'should' get you what you want.

  • Getting emails on iPhone but not the desktop

    I switched to iMap email settings on both iPhone and the desktop. And I noticed that quite often  I do not receive my emails on my desk top, in spite the email application on my iPhone is closed. Strange why the server prefers the iPhone and why not chose both to treceive?

    Hi Jemina13,
    One thing you might also want to check out is your spam settings.
    The iphone does not have a spam filter.
    If you updated your antivirus or spam filter on your computer this might cause the issue that your are explaining about misc email not downloading to the computer but shows on the iphone.
    Now the issue about the content of this message not available for download, could be a pop3 issue as suggested by m.bode. When the iphone initially receives an email, it just downloads the header. Then when you tap on the email, it downloads the body of the email. If the iphone has downloaded the header of the email, but the computer has downloaded and erased the message of the server, there is nothing left on the email server for the iphone to download. So, when you tap on the email to view it, you get the error message you explained.
    Hope this helps.

  • I want 4.2, but not the new interface!

    4.2 does change some things in the system internals that I like (most importantly, multi users). But the interface is horrible! The 4.1 interface is so cool and SONY but why is this a giant phone interface now? This is a real large step backwards.
    Long story short, I want to get the old interface back, but keep the 4.2 changes. Is there a way to do it without rooting? Or, Sony, just get a patch out that patches back to 4.1 interface.

  • IPhoto recognizes my iPhone, but not the photos on it.

    The iPhone is a 3gs running iOS 5.1, the iMac is running OS X 10.6.8.
    When I connect the iPhone using USB, I open iTunes and it Syncs automatically.  I have to manually open it, and iPhoto too.  When I open iPhoto, it shows me the phone but with 0 pictures, even though there are .5 GB of pictures, including brand new ones, on the iPhone.
    I have powered off and back on the iPhone and rebooted the iMac, both did not fix the issue.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Actually, all I had to do was reboot my iphone. It got updated today, so maybe it just neded a fresh start. All of my photos uploaded!

  • Want an iphone, but without the service charge. Can I?

    Ok. So I want to have all of the perks of having an iphone 4 without the At&t service price. I thought about getting an ipod touch 4th generation, but it is hardly like the iphone 4 because of its lack of quality. I was wondering if I could buy an iphone 4, use only wifi, and if I ever want to pay for the 3G from At&t I can put it on my bill. Can I do that?
    Added this in here in responce to one answer/comment.
    So I can't go buy an iphone 4 at bestbuy and use it for an itouch?

    if I ever want to pay for the 3G from At&t I can put it on my bill. Can I do that?
    No. AT&T requires new all iphones on their network be under contract. You can purchase an iphone with no commitment pricing(no contract), but AT&T will still require the phone be under a post-paid agreement in order to activate it. In essence, buying an iphone the way you want to use it makes for an extremely expensive touch.

  • HT4527 i am trying to transfer new downloads from my iphone to my pc itunes page.  having trouble, and i don't have enough space to explain.  old itunes card purchases on pc are showing up on my iphone, but not the opposite.

    I bought an ipod a few years ago and used a few itunes cards to purchase downloads (music only).  Then, i started copying cd's to my computer and they also showed up on my itunes pages.  nonetheless, i started making playlists.  in the meantime, there was a balance of $6.96 on my account, and i was not able to use the balance to redeem because i lost the itunes card it came from (who would've thought i needed to save the card)...anyway, fine, i recently purchased an iphone.  Well, i have purchased a few new itunes cards and have downloaded about ten songs off itunes from my phone to my phone in my phone.  Okay, now i am home, and i want to see about getting things in order, ie, making playlists, etc, but including of course the music i already have on the pc in its itunes page.  mass confusion for a nontechnological person.  i think it's possible, like, to transfer from iphone to pc, and then from pc to iphone, and to coordinate songs from one to the other, but i have no idea how to do this.  so, i am researching, and i am finding support here and there, but my device isn't even showing up on the left hand side when i bring up itunes on my computer!  so, there is no way to transfer anything!
    HELP!

    First thing Suzanne, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address it's not a good idea to place it in a thread, robots will pick it up and use it to spam you, it's much better to put it in your profile and tell people in your thread that it's there.
    Not so sure about the second issue without more info, but as to the first matter, pictures you take on your phone are saved to your phone, they are not saved to iCloud, there is no way around this only to move your pictures to a computer regularly to free up more space.

  • Save object state but not the data

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm trying to serialize a form so that I can recover the state information such as size of the form at close, size of splitpane separator, and size of each column of a JTable within the form.
    However, I don't want to save the JTable's data. Also, I'm not sure about the procedure for deserialization.
    For example if I have a line like:
    frame.getContentPane().add(new JTable(tableModel));
    next time I read the form, it already has the table within it so I shouldn't really create it or add the JTable to it, am I right?
    Any comment to clarify this is really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Ok here is what you got to do just like createing your own subclass of JFrame
    you should also create subclesses all the GUI componants you going to use in the application that need their state saved and restored.
    All those class should implement a comman interface which has getState and setState (Ex:- CJTextArea, CJTextField, CJTable, CJFrame, CJInternalFrame, CJPanel .....). and thos subclasses should be used to create the widows
    You will also need a several state classes for various types of components
    such as
    ComponentState -- Super class
    ContainerState -- to hold stateobjects given by the components in a perticuler Container (ex:- JPanel)
    FrameState
    TextCompState -- text components (JTextField,JTextArea)
    ListState
    TableState
    and the getStste and setSatate of the form should be written to return an object which contains the state of the form and all the other state objects returned by its nested components.
    This kind of thing is done in most of the software organization in (Not just to restor the state but for many different tasks) that develop large applications with complex user interfaces.
    Its worth spending some time to devalop such an API becouse it can be used in any programdeveloped after that.
    The company I work has done excatly that some time ago but I cant post any code here (You know why)

  • My pictures and music from a dead Imac are on an external hard drive. My Windows 8 sees the hard drive but not the data. How do I get the files to my PC?

    this is confusing

    Hi Bob.
    I was actually confused in trying to navigate where to ask the question in the first place within the Support Community framework. I've been away from the Apple world for many years now and obviously this world of technology moves very fast, yes? So that's the reason my opening query mentions confusion.
    Before I visited here I spent quite some time Googling the topic finding tons of answers going back MOSTLY 6-8 years all of which were fairly specific and geared toward now obsolete versions of the question or assumed my Apple computer was up and running or I had an "unformated" external hard drive.
    I didn't find anything wrong with the advice to use MacDrive but of course I was hoping not to have to use my credit card to do this------------what has to be fairly routine process. After I Googled "alternatives to MacDrive" I found a free ten day trial run for Paragon. It worked for all the picture files but can't see the old movie or music. I'm still working it out. Maybe I'm missing something. Anyways it's hard to communicate with experts who seem to want you to already be on a certain level or they will simply leave you in the dust with their "help."
