Submission + - NO-data phone plan for old GSM iPhone 4
droptop writes: My wife an I are owners of two, two-year-old Apple iPhone 4 GSM phones.
My disability and subsequent medical expenses, and unemployment have us exploring any avenue for saving money.
I had grandfathered in an unlimited data plan for my iPhone back in the day but in the subsequent years have found I don't really use it. WiFi is pretty ubiquitous these days.
We are really hoping to find a cell carrier that will allow us to continue to use our iPhones to make calls and text, but be data blocked so we don't have to pay those crazy dollars for a feature we've not used in five years.
I really don't want to have to get another phone as we love our old iPhones and we use them as computers. If we were forced to get new "dumb phones" then we would find ourselves having to carry two phones, as the iPhone is used for everything.
It seems as though this would be a big market with all the smartphones being replaced every two years, carriers could be making money from them.
I'm really hoping the knowledgeable and awesome slashdot community can help me with this one.
