Only way to buy an iPhone here is to buy one unlocked and pre-activated, and just throw your current sim card in. (Which is fine by me. $50-80 a month for a plan? No way)
No, it doesn't work that way. If you don't pay for a service, you simply don't receive it. I don't pay for caller ID, so I do not receive it. If I suddenly start getting calls with ID, you're going to make me pay $11 a month for something that I elected to NOT pay for in the first place?
It's the same deal here. I don't pay for it, and I suddenly start receiving iMessages, and I go to do a speed test. This isn't really in my control, and you can't force a service on me and make me pay for it?
