Smart hone on feature phone plan
I am currently using a Freestyle with unlimited data. I have a samsung smart phone that would like to use but don't want to switch to internet plan. Can I use a smart phone without switching plans or turning off my internet access?

I went through this with support. You have to have data with a smart phone.
Chat InformationPlease wait for a chat representative to respond.
Chat InformationYou are now chatting with 'Derek {Personal content removed}'
Derek {Personal content removed}: You want to know if the sales department has a chat, is this correct?
: Yes??
Derek {Personal content}: At this time our sales department does not have a online chat.
: a phone number perhaps then and how late are they open??
Derek {Personal content removed}: Are you looking to start a new service or upgrade a phone?
: upgrade but not sure
Derek {Personal content removed}: You are able to upgrade the phone using the online account manager.
: Yes not sure which one to get. One that has wifi but no data plan. Hopefully a non smart phone with wifi.
Derek {Personal content removed}: I will look into this for you, I do think the only phones that have wifi are the smart phones that require a data plan.
: Even if I buy a non branded att phone
Derek{Personal content removed}: Even with a non branded phone if the system picked it up as a smart phone it would put a data plan on the service.
: So how would I know which ones are smart and which are not??
Derek {Personal content removed}: with our phones or a unlocked phone?
: But an unlocled (iphone) for example would still be a smart phone woouldn't it.
Derek {Personal content removed}: An unlocked iphone would need to have a data plan for it to work, I it is very hard to find a unlocked iphone
: Would Motorola EX119 be considered smart??
Derek {Personal content removed}: Usually the best way to tell if a phone is a smart phone it will usualy have 1 of 4 operating system, these would be android, blackberry , windows, or the iphone
: I'll look into this thanks.
