Can I use an AT&amp;T SIM card for Basic &amp; Quick Messaging in this phone. I don't want to pay for data and want to access the web via wifi only

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.

I have this phone with ATT and -no data-. That's why I like it. They don't charge for data because it's not a smart phone and very limited in what it can do. (I can surf the internet, which is about all I need in addition to text and calling.)

The phone is compatible with AT&T (I'm currently using it on their plan), but not all of the features have been available to me you need to mess around with the Internet apn to make your data work and (you can find that on forums) the mms apn is unavailable, so multimedia messages dont go through. It should be fine internationally.

You can use the wifi, like an ipod, without a sim card. I'm waiting on getting the straightalk sim card to put into it and see how that works. But from home, I connected to my home network, looked at the app market, and played with the apps that were on the phone, without the sim. Of course, you can't make calls with it. I'm not sure how it will work with her ATT sim card. You can put hers in your phone and try it out!

hi if its a sim card then you can just put it in the phone and start using it, because the phone is unlocked but if it doesn't work then i think it will be more advisable to take it to the AT&T; store. but i think it should. hope my answer was helpful.

I'm guessing you could, because I chose the plan, it didn't come with the phone. So assuming you would do the same. No harm calling or webchat with AT&T; first.

Since this phone is unlocked, you can use any GSM SIM Card in it. Moreover, I did use this phone on WiFi connection only[mine was malfunctioning and I had to return it]. You DONT need Data Connection to use this phone. Just make sure you disable Data Connection in Settings->Network Settings

Just take the sim card to your preferred carrier and ask them to activate it for you. These sim cards are for pre-paid plans anyways...If you're going to AT&T; they have a site to activate the card. Follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine.

When I purchased the phone, it did not come with a sim card period. I used my regular sim card with ATT and I had to purchase a small SD card for it to work properly. I had to call my cell phone provider to get the information so it could work on their network.

This is exactly what I have been wondering, do you not receive data charges because it's an unlocked phone? My sister was given an iPhone as a gift and didn't use any data, she only ever went online when she was connected to wifi, and a data charge was added to the bill because it was a smartphone. Because this is an unlocked phone, will AT&T; just... not know? I don't know much about unlocked phones :(

Yes,I tried AT&T. And yes,it has a sim card slot but the big one. Not the micro sim. But I think you could ask AT&T for that sim card for free. :)

Yes.I have done that with mine. You just put in your existing SIM and it will be fine for voice and messaging. I only get data service when connecting through wifi though.

I just spent 6 hours talking to AT&T...; This phone does NOT work with AT&T.; Do not buy an unlocked version, unless all you're wanting to do is use it as a phone. The mobile data will NOT work on AT&T; from an unlocked phone like this.

My plan is data only. I think AT&T; will try to change it to data only plan if you put phone SIM in it.

Does anyone know what data plan you have to subscribe to to use the phone on ATT? I know on my 5800 I could just subscribe to the feature phone data plan ($15 instead of $30 smart phone plan)

I use AT@T and it works fine except that I cannot send or receive photos or group messages through text. I have been trying to figure out the issue with AT&T; and HTC for the past several months but nothing we try has corrected the problem. I really like the phone other than this particular problem.

With wi-fi accessibility, do you need to have a provider (AT&T or T-Mobile) data plan in place (to access something like myspace or other)? What is the least expensive way to go, if you have any idea? I am in NY and do not travel much, but my child is spoiled by the sidekick and we had to cut the web, leaving texting open. It doesn't state it has AIM either. It seems AT&T is better in the no-choice game, but since we have a family network already on T-Mobile and unlimited texting and free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calls, I am not sure there is a savings. Please...its on sale today :)
