Can I use a no data plan SIM card in a Galaxy S3
My daughter lost her LG Xpression but her contract is not up until June. While we wait out the two months until she's eligible for an upgrade, can I go to AT&T and get a new SIM card and insert it in an old Galaxy S3 that we have in the house?
She does not have a data plan on this phone line and I don't want her to have one. She would just use the phone for talk and text like her old phone.

AT&T does not allow smart phones on non data plans as they still use data. You have the option to turn data off at the account level if a data plan is forced on the line.
Note: if you are on the family share plan, she will be eligible for a line discount of $15 or $25 a month, depending on your family data plan. Multiply by 24 months and decide if it's worth entering another 2 year contract when a basic phone at full retail is less than $200. Then consider just replacing the phone at retail now. In 2 months, the discount will reduce her line fee.
