No you can (maybe) just buy the iPhone for some extra money and set it up with another company, however it may require you to jailbreak (or hack) the iPhone. AnswerYes, AT&T is currently the only wireless service that supports the iPhone.

(Improved Answer)

If you want to buy an iPhone without an AT&T plan, you have to pay an extra $400 and you can't even use it because you have to have a valid AT&T SIM to activate it. You can get passed the activation process by a thing called hacktivation.

@ This Answer: This is not Ethical, (Not Possible) iPhone Doesnt take Sim Cards they are Activated at the AT&T/ Verizon Store. How do i know? I own a iPhone and they said no Sim card and i got it back if i decided to go back to a Non Smart Phone.

Though it is possible to Go to a Store with iPhones and buy the iPhone without having to have the Agreement, Though it is Just as much as Having the Data Plan for 2 Years at 15$ 200mb. So i suggest going with Data Plan and not buying just the iPhone without Agreement

If you have a legal iPhone with ATT service then you already have an unlimited data plan, as the iPhone is not offered without one.

How to avoid pay data charge using i phone 4 by att?

There is no way around paying for the data plan for the iPhone with AT&T. It is required for the entire duration that there is an iPhone on the account. The iPhone data plan is $15.00/month for the DataPlus 200MB for iPhone or $25.00/month for the DataPro 2GB for iPhone, in addition to your voice plan and other features that you may choose. AT&T frequently runs a sweep of all of its accounts and if it finds an account with an iPhone and the iPhone data plan is not on the account they are adding it, no questions asked.

Can you add an iphone line to your unlimited data plan on ATT?

The iPhone data plan is a requirement and this plan is $15.00/month for the DataPlus 200MB for iPhone or $25.00/month for the DataPro 2GB for iPhone, in addition to your voice plan and other features that you may choose. AT&T frequently runs a sweep of all of its accounts and if it finds an account with an iPhone and the iPhone data plan is not on the account they are adding it, no questions asked. Here is what AT&T says on their web site ... Please note: Data plan for iPhone is required for the life of your iPhone service and cannot be removed in the future. Data Plan for iPhone includes unlimited data in the U.S. Access rich HTML email and desktop-level web browsing, as well as Visual Voicemail to listen to voicemail messages in any order you choose. Please note: AT&T is Apple's exclusive carrier partner for iPhone in the United States. An eligible data plan for iPhone is required. This data plan covers data usage in the United States and does not cover international data usage and charges. If AT&T determines that you are using an iPhone on your account without an eligible data plan, AT&T reserves the right to add an eligible data plan to your account and bill you the appropriate monthly fee.

Use An ATT iPhone Coupon To Reduce The Total Cost?

When you buy an iPhone, you will end up paying more for the data plan than you will for the phone itself. This data plan could cost you thirty or more dollars every month. You can see how that would add up by the end of a two-year contract. One way to reduce the total cost of your contract is to use an ATT iPhone coupon to cut down on the price of the phone itself. If you can save sixty dollars on the phone, that is the same as being allowed to skip two of the data plan payments.

Does the lg incite need a data plan to work?

No. you can access data connectivity via wi-fi. To do this, you have to go into settings and disable proxy. this is the reason I chose it over the iPhone. However, ATT will insist that you be on an expensive per-use data plan, so if your phone ever uses an application that requires data through the G3 network, you will be charged.
