also, there's no point in me pursuing all this if it ends up with me having to pay 30bucks a month for a data plan to use it, i only wanna text and call (yes ik "what is the point of owning a smartphone then?"...i just want a NICE phone  ), so would AT&T prepaid require me to put a data plan just to use it? i saw in the menu screen for "comm manager" it has this "data button that can be toggled on/off, just below the "push email" option.
thanks once again, i tried a couple of different forums, this has been the best so far. |
yes...if your dad owns the phone, he needs to call big red to try and get the sim unlock code. since it's a pre-paid...it's a pay as you go deal with data as well. data will not be required. and yup, you can turn data on and off in the comm manager.
***edit***
this thread gives you instruction on how to get the code from big red and how to input code when you get it. the first post here....
