IPhone

Well I had an iphone 3g sitting around so I unlocked/jailbroke it and hooked it up with TMobile. Now the guy at TMobile told me that in order for texting to work I have to have their data plan as well which is costing me $20 a month.

Is this true? Do I really need to have a data plan to be able to text on the iphone on the tmobile network?

 

Are you sure they weren't talking about e-mail ?

 

Not in my case. The data plan is only for 3G access which is internet and email. Call them and ask someone else.

 

If I were you I WOULD get the data plan because It is super usefull, but you shouldn't have to. on the online chats you can have on there website ask there because a computer just looks that up.

 

The 3G data plan on AT&T isn't good anymore since there is a massive amount of iPhones using it up.

 

I like my droid lol, but I dont think you should be obligated to pay for that, unless major sections of the phone would be rendered useless without it.
