Hi,
I am considering putting a data-only service on an iPhone and using a VOIP service for the very few voice calls I need.
My question is has anybody tried doing this?
Buying the phone outright and using a data only package would be considerably cheaper than a subsidized phone with the required voice service along with data service.
Thanks.
I've done this. I've taken out the t-mobile sim out of my iPad and put it in my iPhone 6 and it does work. but this was just an experiment. i did not use it for more then 5 minutes.
the catch is you need to activate that sim on an iPad and then put it in the iPhone. they won't let you take a sim card and activate it directly using the iPhone
how do you think about t-mobile ? you can get a data plan for $10 a month
and try that, i would recommend that walmart plan 100 minutes of talk plus unlimited messages and 5 gigs for $30
that i think is the closest thing you are going to get to an official plan from any carrier.
i know for sure iPads get music freedom for $10 , but i haven't given my iPhone the acid test to make sure i get the same benefit
what voip service are you going to use? do you have any recommendations? i only get 100 minutes on that wallmart plan. i really wanted to use talkatone but they turned off google voice. and google voice for iOS only cellular and does not use wifi.
i don't want to sign up with vonage, but i guess i could get the OOMA app.
