Im an at&t customer and want to get a "smart" phone, but don't want the stupid data plan. Everywhere I go I have access to wireless and don't feel that I need the data plan to compliment that. I don't have it now with my old junk cell phone and do just fine. But I do want a "smart" phone for some of those nice apps and games and such that I can't get on an older phone.
So how to get around the data plan requirement. Well as I read and reread At&t's customer agreement I noticed something.
In section 6.3 about their data plan it says that Iphones and "designated" smart phones require the data plan. Now att doesn't sell any phones from their stores or website that do not require the data plan, and calling them they do confirm that all smart phones they sell require it.
So can you buy a phone from another carrier outright that at&t doesn't sell, swap carriers over and not require a data plan?
It wouldn't be a designated smart phone...
As I see it with plain english "designated" means any phone they have listed as needing the data plan or they have a list that you should be able to compare to. Well they don't have a list, and a non att phone isn't listed on their website or in their store so it wouldn't be a designated phone.
What do you think? Am I crazy, just reading what I want into it? Or could it be possible? |
