Well the answer is no, but you can trick them. Say you already have somebody in the family with a data plan. Say its your mother. Tell her to go to the store and get the phone you want. Since she already has a data plan she wont need one. then just switch the sim card.

Picking The Best Smartphone Plans?

Before picking a smartphone plan to go along with your smartphone, you need to decide what your needs are regarding smartphone usage. Do not automatically pick the unlimited data plan option, because you may not need it and most unlimited plans are on the costly side. If you only plan to use the data options for e-mail and occasional web browsing, you may be able to do fine with plans under 1 gigabyte. Also, if your workplace and your home has free wireless internet, you may also be able to cut back on your data plan and pick less expensive options.


Smartphone without data plan?
