Block Data to Smart Phone, without required data plan.
I've recently been going back and forth with AT&T asking them to block data to my iPhone. It is possible, they have done it. But the 'system' automatically detects my phone and reverts it to a data plan I do not want. Their argument that I will accrue a large bill is moot, because I want the data blocked from their side, the towers. Again, this is technically possible it has been done on my line, and I'm sick of people telling me it's not. AT&T removing the block andarbitrarily adding a data plan to my account is theft.
I want data blocked to my phone, and I don't want to call AT&T every week to maintain. I'm not using celular data, I don't want celular data sent to/from my phone, block it from the tower. Stop lying about this capability.

You can put your SIM card into most any four band GSM phone and it will work. ATT is requiring data plans because they gave away too many iphones.

hahaha That is kinda funny.
Oh wait you're serious... ... still very funny.
Let me just say that it's definitely a waste of time; here's why:
If you don't like this... .. get a basic phone. Done. Simple. Nothing else to talk about. Case closed.
