Data only plans for iPhone 4?

Rats and Gods · 06-10-2012, 01:36 PM

Hello all, I am currently trying to find some type of data only plan for my iPhone 4 so I can use it similar to how a 3G iPad would be used. I also would prefer to use it on a "no commitment" or prepaid process.

I have checked out the T-Mobile pay as you go phone/data plans but would really prefer it to be used with 3G instead of the Edge network for obvious reasons. I also have contacted AT&T and they have advised they do not have a "data only" plan that can be used with the iPhone 4.

My specs are it's a factory unlocked iPhone 4 on 5.1.1 and jailbroken using the Absinthe 2.0.4.

Does anyone know of a plan that would sustain this type of usage? I would also prefer that it's unlimited data. Thank you for any suggestions. I have also looked into Straight Talk but that's also a phone plan and I do not require this. Thanx again.

In England 3 or GiffGaff are excellent value.

If you are in Texas/USA you should just get the straight talk 45$/mnth it's you best bet. NO ONE HAS UNLIMITED DATA

I've just seen a lot of places on Google and what not where people are using iPad plans on their iPhones. I really don't need another phone line, just the data.

I use straight talk no commitment. 3G and since you are jailbroken just install iblacklist and block messages, phone calls, imessages an the like.

pretty much close to unlimited that you can get now days.

How fast is the 3G speed on straightalk ?

How good is the coverage?

Any dropped calls?

Sorry to hijack thread

3G speed is fast and I have AT&T as well. Straight talk is faster than my AT&T service.

Coverage is the same as AT&T.

I have read articles and talked to people who said that StraightTalk will kick you if you go over 2G of data, and they are not on all of AT&T towers.

Regardless do you have a better plan than 2gb for 45$??

My contract with ATT ends in two weeks, so as soon as it ends I will probably be switching, but not before asking ATT to unlock iPhone just to increase the value of the phone

Thanks.

Currently I'm on 3UK, paying £15/month for UNLIMITED data on a pay as you go tariff on the iPhone. They don't make it easy to use the same tariff on my iPad.

But I've heard good things about SambaMobile.com - No monthly charges after you buy the simcard for £5 and unlimited data too. I'm awaiting delivery to see if it is as good as they claim it is and if it isn't, I doubt it can be any worse then the shite that is giffgaff whose unlimited data plan expired after 150 MiB in 2 days.

I've never had a problem, but I only do about 1.8 gig a month.

I should have clarified that Straight talk uses more than AT&T network, but comparing maps it is roughly At&T for the bring you own device program.
