Will jailbreaking an iPhone let me use it without a data plan?
21 replies, posted
I got an old iPhone from my brother since he got a new phone. I don't have a data plan and as far as I know if I put my SIM card in it, it will enable an iPhone data plan. If I jailbreak it, would I be able to use it as a normal phone without a plan?

Nope.
Just get a PAYG card or whatever.

Doesn't matter, the usage of the iPhone still requires a smart phone data plan.
Even with no SIM in an iPhone, you can go to Settings > General > Network and disable Mobile Data. Hopefully that means when you put in your SIM card it won't activate an iPhone data plan.
You can just get one of those free texting/calling applications that I have on my iTouch if you want to call/text people for free. It gives you a phone number that others can call/text :)
Uhm, you guys have some seriously fucked up carriers over there if they automatically make a contract if you insert a SIM-card into a phone.
You should be fine with any plan you want, data plans aren't required.

Yeah my buddy just popped his sim card in with a corporate talk plan with Rogers. And it works fine. Data is pay-per-use but works none the less. Best to disable data unless in wifi.
