Looking for info on using a 3G without a data plan

So I've done the pre-requisite google and forum search, but I'm still having trouble finding a straight answer.

I've got an acquaintance who wants to give their daughter a 3G, but doesn't want to buy a data plan.

I've found conflicting stories regarding faking the APN data or using various cydia packages. The phone is running 4.0, so i would be using redsn0w for the JB.

I know from experience that ATT is pretty quick to realize you're using an iphone, so it may be a lost cause.

Oddly, the fakeAPN website claims that there isn't a need to fake the APN now that ios4 has a cellular data toggle.

Anyone with any experience/suggestions?

hey call att and let them block internet usage on you account/sim. Just tell them that u lost ur phone and that incase someone finds it u dont want them to use ur internet. When that is done, just pop in the sim, calling and txting should be fine. Also turn of 3g in settings just to be on a safe path. If u want internet use wifi. I have been using my iphone without a data plan for a year now. So u should be good to go.
