<div dir="ltr">I can say this tactic worked for an iPhone once. My brother walked into the phone store and said he wanted the data plan removed. They said that was impossible. So he bought a GO phone, moved the SIM, went back, switched to a no data plan, walked out and moved the SIM back. I see no reason it would not work on an Android. Also, I have a Samsung Android MP3 player that gets data from wifi but has no cell phone data.<br>

However, there's noting stopping you from getting a regular phone and putting the sim card in an android. Obviously that limits carrier choice though. Also, since Android expects a data connection, you might have to make sure data is not even an "on demand" option on the account.<br>

Sorry if this is turning into alt.gripe.about.phones.just.because.android.resembles.linux, but...<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a carrier that will sell an android smartphone WITHOUT a data plan? <br>
<br>
Meaning, it works like a phone to call and text, and when in WIFI coverage, it will do the groovy smartphone things. <br>
<br>
I've got three people here that are customers. <br>

So this looks like it meets the recommendations. Just need to get a good provider and service contract now. <br>

I appreciate the collective wisdom. Too much marketing hype to really see any truth to it.<br>
