Does a data only sim give you a phone number to text from? I doubt it, but I'm not 100% sure.
You can try Google Voice or something similar. That should work.
That's too bad.
In an ideal world I'd be able to disable phone calls and ONLY have
Texts
iMessage
Safari
YouTube.
Just Internet basically with messaging (texts and iMessage).
I would LOVE something like this.
Pretty sure thats called an ipod , tablet, laptop, or computer.
I thought you said you couldn't text on those.
I never said that. Maybe someone else did....?
I have all of the above, and I can text from any of those devices provided that there is DATA , or WIFI.

if you can prove to your tel-co that you can't hear, they'll give you a sim that does texts and data.

Why would you think a data only SIM card can text(through normal carrier-based SMS)? Data only means data only.
WhatsApp works good on data
Don't you have to verify the phone number for whatsapp, google voice, and vonage on your data only phone? How do you get around that?
Thanks, I'm planning on doing the same as you if it's possible.
Google Voice is extremely reliable (at least for me anyway). I use GV text and voice for both personal and business use.
Free. International calling is not free though.1) How much is google voice
Not sure.2) on my iPhone 5, with a data sim, could I disable the phone call part of google voice?

Not sure.
Ok. That's great I'll have to sign up for google voice. Not sure what I could use the extra line for but it's definitely worth getting.
I wish someone on here knew if the phone part could be turned off.
Anyone?
Just get a data only line and put a voice block on the account.
Does AT&T themselves offer data sim only ?
