I'm getting an iPhone 3G from a friend and do NOT have a data plan at all. I do have an AT&T plan and have unlimited texting. From what I'm gathering, when I get it, all I have to do is change the APN or get data transfer blocked by AT&T so no data is transferred and I'll be good to go, right? I won't get a crazy high bill next month?
I'm gathering this info from another thread, specifically this post:
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: If I just throw my SIM into it, use something like iphonenodata.com and block the data, will I be fine?

If you're using an iPhone with no data plan at all:
You're golden. Sure, they'd prefer it if you would fork over the extra cash, but their subsidy runs through the voice plan, and that goes for all phones. They require you to sign up for a data plan at the time you purchase the iPhone, but after that, just give them a call and cancel it. Many people have done this, and it works just fine. Be sure to request a WIX block as well, and change your iPhone's APN (google it) so data transmission will be blocked on both ends. You don't want to get a $5,000 phone bill next month because your phone used data without your permission.
Any help is appreciated.
