Question. Not quit following ya. My son has an at&t phone that is activated. I have a spare 3gs that is not activated. How can I use the 3gs without the data plan? I would like to just give his sim over to 3gs so he can make calls and receive texts. Can you help?

Noticed your comments from 3 years ago. Do you still have the phone? How did this process you used work out for you in the long run? Still functioning well?

I am trying to get some answers as well. But I think what happens is that AT&T thinks that you are switching phones and are no longer using your iphone. You are, but with a SIM from a different phone that allows you to turn the data package off.
But when you have trouble with your iphone, AT&T is not going to help you because your iphone is no longer officially on their network. If people would explain this, it would help. But these are techie people, and they don’t do this well. It would eliminate many questions.

You have to have or buy another phone that does not require data plan service w AT&T. If you do this with the SIM from another iphone, then it would not work.

How is this going to keep AT&T from charging you for data service if you have an iphone? Wouldn’t you have to use a SIM card from another phone that does not require data service?
