AT&T knows if you don't have a data plan...

So I had a 3G on one of my lines and had data disabled because the user was not tech savvy and did not require internet at all.

So it went on for almost a year and all of a sudden a new text message came up saying that the iPhone requires a data plan and it was added automatically.

That's interesting, considering that I changed the IMEI number to a different non-iPhone phone (try saying that 5 times.)

to legitimately turn off your iPhone data plan you have to be out of contract month to month

Where have you been for the last nine months??? AT&T has been actively scanning their network for devices without data plan since September. Surprised it took them this long to catch you. It doesn't matter what IMEI you give them over the phone, OLAM updates automatically every time you connect to network.

Completely false. Data can be turned off at any time as long as you stop using iPhone.
