android with regular service plan?

[mriosj88]

i have a regular unlimited plan from tmobile without data service...

and would like to use my current plan with my old android instead of my little flip phone.

i need a data plan to use my android.

How can i get around this?

Not sure exactly, you might be able to use the current plan but then be limited to phone only.. No texts, internet, etc... That is if its even possible.

If the android has a sim card slot then no need to worry about switching phones. But you can always contact tmobile to have your phone flashed over.

If you don't have data, there are FREE calling and texting apps out there that you can use

Magic Jack - you can make phone calls (outbound) over 3G or Wifi, but for someone to call you, its a little complicated. They've got to dial a 1800 number and enter a complicated number with astericks and things.. Call quality is pretty good.

TextPlus - texts are free, but you have to buy minutes or watch videos for calls. You can also call other people with the app for free as well.

GoogleVoice - texts free

Skype, Quik, etc. - free calls to people with the app.. video calls not supported on LG Optimus S

I hope some of these apps helped. I use TextPlus for texts and MagicJack for calls on my iPad itself when I need to get ahold of someone without an iPod, iPhone, or iPad...

Pretty sure you can't use a smartphone without data on any carrier or any plan. Might get away with it for a few months but they will shut you down eventually.
