Is it mandatory to purchase the $29.97/month data pack with a new smartphone?

I'm wondering, if I'm buying a smartphone (this one is a 3G smartphone) and don't want to use the internet or email on it for the first several months, can I just buy the $29.97/month data package at a later date in order to save money now?   Or am I forced to buy the data package now with the phone in order to get the discount price listed for the phone?
I'm wondering because it says "data plan required" next to the phone.   But what if you don't want internet or email right away?

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

    Hi,
    I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
    When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
    Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
    So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
    Thanks
    Tauheed Ahmad

    Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and  3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
    So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
    Thanks

    I'm sorry, I do not fully understand your question. However if you are looking for the email address which you have used for your iTunes account, you can find this out by using the "get info" command on any items you have previously purchased from iTunes and navigating to the summary tab.

  • Do I have all the parts to replace my HDD with a new SSD on my Macbook (late 2008)?

    Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out if have all the parts to replace my hdd with a new ssd on my macbook (late 2008 aluminum).
    I just bought a crucial mx100 SSD and plan on replacing my mac HDD. I have the appropriate screwdrivers, and a bootable OSX on a usb drive. I also purchased a sabrent usb 2.0 to sata/ide hard drive adapter.
    How do I replace and install OSX on my new SSD?
    From what I read here are the steps I'm planning on taking.
    1) Detach the old HDD
    2) Attach new SSD.
    3) Turn on computer and use the bootable usb drive to install OS X.
    Does that work, I think I read somewhere about maybe formatting the SSD before I can use the bootable usb. Any input or help would be awesome. Thanks.
    I'd prefer to do a clean install of yosemite and not carbon copy my old HDD

  • Creation of a Query to show the values for the current month and the last 12 months data.

    Dear All,
    Good day!
    I have to create a Query with the below requirement.
    I have to create a Query to show the values for the current month and the last 12 months data.
    Can you please guide me how to achieve this ??
    thank you,

    Hema
    explain the exact problem..? as you mentioned you want to create query to show values for current month and last 12 months.. so I think you want to show values for 12 months from current data.. you can achive this by multiple way..
    you can have selection screen and field with date .. and restrict based on system current date and 12 months before or you can handle this at your target.. .. I mean there are multiple ways to restrict data by date range..
    for some more hints..

    Has anyone had the Network time and date error with Apple TV when traveling?

    Jasion,
    Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • I just purchased the 4S and am having trouble with it at least once a day says Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it

    I just purchased the I 4S and at least once a day, it will say Invalid Sim, what would cause this and how do I fix it?

    Then, if there's any data on the drive that you want to keep, you have to back up before you do anything else -- assuming it's still possible.
    Basically you have three options:
    1. Install a copy of the Mac OS on an external hard drive, boot from it, and copy the data from the internal drive.
    2. Start the problem Mac in FireWire target mode (command-T at startup) and connect it to a working Mac with a FireWire cable. The internal drive will mount as a FireWire device.
    3. Remove the internal drive and mount in an external enclosure on another Mac.
    Once you've backed up, follow the sequence in the support article linked below. The article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running Lion) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

  • I am unable to use the disk drive on my G4 with my new MacMini (late 2011)

    I have followed the directions RE: enabling sharing on both computers and the G4 shows up on the Mini, but the disk in the drive doesn't show up. I am trying to install some newly purchased software (Adobe Photoshop Elements 10) from the G4 drive to the Mini.

    Just for clarity ... are you trying to run some software from the G4 drive on the new mini? That won't work, since Lion no longer has Rosetta emulation, and doesn't run PowerPC code. Adobe Photoshop elements 10 will only run on your new mini.
    One way to share your G4 hard drive with your new mini is by putting the G4 into target disk mode. Reboot holding the T key down, and you'll see a firewire symbol moving about the screen. Then connect a firewire cable between the two systems. You may need a firewire 400 to 800 adapter. The one I used when coverting my G4 mini is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JH3TW8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVP DKIKX0DER
