Re: [AT&T] Possible to use iPhone without the $30 data plan?
i want to do the same thing: get a 3gs and without data
here is what i do: get a 3gs from ebay or whatever you like,
and then jailbroke and active the phone without using Att sim card. and then call CS ask they to block all my data access.
for more security, download a sofeware from cycia to make sure no more data access.
question£ºis that necessary have to unlock it even im still using the ATT? |

Soooo.... you could buy an old iPhone, Jailbreak it, Turn off Edge and 3g, use it to connect via WiFi at home with your nice router... and use it as a Skype phone? Thus avoiding the hassle of buying/using a headphone/mic combo that would be required if you wanted to use say an iPod Touch for a Skype phone? |

Yep. In fact I got an iphone for free right after they were first released and for the first few weeks I used it as a glorified ipod then I got it hooked up to ATT and now it's on Tmobile.
If you aren't going to use the phone function you won't need to worry about turning off edge just put a dead sim card in there so when you use Pwnage Tool you can still jailbreak it properly.
In fact you could use it as a glorified ipod/skype phone and itunes remote for around the house. Not to mention you could get little cool programs like VLC remote or AirMouse and use it as kind of all in one home solution for your computer if you are watching movies or using your setup as a media server. I have a few airport expresses around the house and I control where the music can go simply by using the Itunes Air remote feature it's pretty nice.
