Is there a prepaid minimalist plan for an iPhone

[Newtons Apple]

This is false. Att has plans that are text and talk only. No data needed. There are others as well.

Just more false facts to confuse.

If using a smartphone, ATT's official stance is that you must have a data plan to go with it. I can say that they will automatically add a plan into post paid accounts without data on them when an iPhone is detected. How long that detection takes can vary, though it may have gotten more strict over the years. I have no idea how they handle pre paid, though I assume it would end up being similar and the system eventually switches the user to the plan with data.

The OP said PAY AS YOU GO and there are data less go phone plans on att.

Right. But what in saying is they are not officially compatible with smartphones like the iphone. Terms and conditions make specific mention of the types of devices the plans you are referring to are for. As I mentioned I have no idea how well this is enforced.

It can't be enforced on prepaid since they can't charge or change your plan. Besides Att allows non data plans on prepaid smartphones. They always did, after all there is no subsidy to be paid back.

Listen. I was simply pointing it what I know about official policy. They can certainly enforce anything they want. They can shut down your line if they wanted. And no, there is no official data free prepaid for smartphones. It has nothing to do with subsidy payoff.

Anyway, I just wanted to make the OP aware what is on paper. Whether they enforce something or not is their prerogative.

I get what you are saying. I'm pointing out that Att allows non data smartphones on prepaid. That's all.
