WIll i have to choose a texting plan?

I don't have a data plan on my phone but I do have unlimited texting. Will I have to choose the plan when ordering the iphone or can I pass it?

You DO NOT need a texting 'plan'. If you do not select a plan for text messages, your account will simply be billed "pay as you go" for texts. You will pay per text message sent/received, rather than having a set plan. If you're not a texter, then simply select this 'plan', and you won't have to pay any texting charges. A data plan is required as it is a smartphone (all Verizon smartphones require a data plan) but a texting plan is completely optional.
If you read the OP's ORIGINAL question, they state that they already HAVE unlimited texting but, NO data. One would assume he/she wants to keep unlimted texting and is asking if they can drop it since they are now getting a unlimited data plan.
If they do not want a texting plan, then of course you can remove it but of course you will pay per text. Nobody is forced to take a texting plan. 
Assuming someone HAS unlimited texting already leads me to believe that they do quite a bit of texting. SO the answer would be unless you want to pay insane amounts in pay-per-text texting fees then keep your texting plan, unlimited data will not replace it.  
And if they are asking if they simply need to add texting again during the order process- the answer would be no. The only thing you would have to add is unlimited data. 
And while we're at it, if you feel like you are paying too much for unlimited texting you can always drop it to a lower cost texting plan.
That should cover just about everything.

    Your question has been answered.  Jailbreaking cannot be discussed here.  If you buy a phone locked to a carrier, it would be down to them to unlock it, and that's very unlikely if you've only just got the phone.  Locked phones are "cheap" for a reason - you're signing up for a contract and that subsidises the cost of the phone.

  • I jus bought the iPhone 4 thru sprint how long will I have to buy the care plan

  • HT201318 I'm trying to purchase a plan on my phone and it will only let me choose the $100. upgrade

    I'm trying to purchase a plan on my phone and it will only let me choose the $100. plan which i dont need

    Yes, but if you delete the iCloud account and start again, don't you have to wait 90 days for everything to start syncing??  I've been having this problem for months and no one seems to be able to figure it out.  I used to have one Apple ID (which was not an email address) and then when iOS came along....and iCloud, they force you to use your email address as ID ....which actually sets up a SECOND Apple ID.  I have a Mac, iPad, iPod touch and iPhone.  the Apple techs tried to delete the iCloud accounts so that they all said the same thing (email address ID) but then I had to wait 90 days.  the 90 days just passed and nothing is automatically syncing yet.  I still think there are 2 accounts but if I delete all again.....it's going to be another 90 days (for security reasons, I was told).  This is a real pain in the butt.

  • Is international texting included in my unlimited texting plan?

    I just upgraded to unlimited texting but I still have the Nationwide Talk & Text plan. I'm wondering if sending and receiving international texts is included in the plan, or if it will be billed as a separate charge. FYI - I'm using my cell phone in the US, not internationally. Any help would be great!

    Thanks, lewisr13, for your contribution.
    Good evening aedubs,
    I'd be happy to assist you regarding international text messages.  If you are in the U.S. and are texting to or receiving a text from a Canada, Mexico or Puerto Rico number this is billed at domestic rate.  If you have unlimited text or a text message bundle than this is included in your plan.  Any other international carrier will be charged at international rate.  For more information about international rates feel free to visit the following link. Have a great day! 

  • After choosing a blank template in PAGES, i am unable to type in the main body of the docs. I have to open a text box to type. Pls help

    Hi all, need help here. I just face this problem today. When i click the pages icon and after choosing a blank template, i am unable to type anything in the document. All icons in the format bar at the top cannot be clicked (font, font size etc). I will have to open a text box in order to type it.
    If i open an existing PAGES doc, duplicate and rename it, then i delete all existing text that i have written, only then i can type in at the doc.
    To illustrate my problem, attached is a pic from my Macbook screen
    Please help.

  • My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

    My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability?

    When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
    Anything planned?

    I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

    Will i lose my unlimited plan if I get an Iphone 4s? Or will I have to pay more?

    When I tried to order through At&t, it didn't give an unlimited option. I then ordered through apple website which basically let me get the already existing plan, which has unlimited data. If not for it, I would have gone with Sprint.

  • I currently have the 2 gig data plan for $50, plus a free 1 gig promotional attachment but Verizon is currently offering the 3 gig data plan for $50, but if I upgrade will I lose the free 1 gig promotion I currently have attached to my account?

    I currently have the 2 gig data plan for $50, plus a free 1 gig promotional attachment but Verizon is currently offering the 3 gig data plan for $50, but if I upgrade will I lose the free 1 gig promotion I currently have attached to my account?
    I understand I will still be getting 3 gigs of data for the $50, I would just like to continue to have the free 1 gig promotion I was already getting, if you Verizon was willing to do it before then why can't they continue to do it now?

    Like Ann154 said, changing plans often results in the loss of any promos you may have.  In your case, it makes no difference to the price you will pay - you'll have 3 GB for $50.  Whether you have 1GB free, or a better price on the 3GB plan is a wash.  I'd leave things alone....

  • I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

    I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'.
    Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

    Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
    BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
    and always
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Have a Friends and Family plan. I have unlimited data and want to keep it. Questions on what I can and can not do with account changes.

    Ok,
    So I am on Friends and Family 2000minutes and unlimited Text.
    4 phones.
    My phone has Unlimited Data and Hotspot
    Other 3 do not have any data.
    I am curious what I can do and can't do that will keep keep the plan as is and not force things to share everything.
    I am allowed to have 5 phones under this plan. I am curious about adding and deleting phones.
    I did try and add a 5th phone. When I tried to activate a 5th phone online it would not let me do it. Tried to get me to change plans.
    Here are a few scenarios that I see coming up in the future.
    I would like to add a 5th phone. My father has an account and I would like to roll him into my plan instead of his own account. I have already done this once before many years ago with no problem with 2 of the lines that I currently have. Is this possible or is that enough to trigger the move share everything scenario.
    Second. how about removing a line from my plan?
    One of my numbers is for an 18YO that wants to be more independent and have their own account. Can I down the road either transfer that line and number to its own account which would be share everything (I do understand that). Or can I delete that line from the account without triggering the share everything scenario?
    Also it seems when I look online I can change data plans currently three phones are on data block. Can I actually change them to a data plan within the Friends and family or is the Share everything scenario triggered. What about if I change them to a smart phone from their basic/feature phone. I know I can't get unlimited data but can I still get them on my friends and family tiered data plan?
    What is up.
    Thank You

    yes to everything; you can add a line (up to 5 total for Family Share), drop a line, upgrade a basic line to a smartphone (and then add a tiered data plan) and stay on your current calling plan ... it may be easier done in your local Corporate Verizon store, though ... just be sure they don't try to switch you to Share Everything if that's not what you want
