is it possible to just get a data plan with the iphone?

[huskerwr38]

My contract is up and I canceled my account, but now I miss my iphone, but I hate AT&T. However, I would like to still use my iphone for internet, maps, gps, etc, so is there anyway I could get just the data plan for the iphone?

 

[old-wiz]

unfortunately no.

actually, i have a deaf mother and inquired at my local AT&T store. They said you can have a data only iphone but you have to have the proper paperwork filled out by a doctor.

maybe get a mifi type thing?

I thought you could use an ipads 3G microsim to get a data only plan and use that sim inside an iphone.

This.

That would be sweet getting a data only plan. I have an unlimited USA skype subscription, $2.95/month and use it often.

How would I go about obtaining the ipad microsim card?

You can usually pay $15 for it at any ATT store. They might give you a free ATT microSIM if you are a current ATT customer. They gave me a free (actually they gave me 2 free ATT microSIMs) at the corp. store.

Or you can ask for it at your local Apple Retail store.

I don't have a AT&T account anymore, but all I have to do is buy a microsim card for the ipad, put it into my iphone, call AT&T and activate it?

activate it on an ipad then switch it over to your iPhone.
