Nokia Lumia 620, Windows' Dumb Smart Phone Question

April 30, 2013 7:33 AM

Hi all, anyone know if: Will the Lumia 620 work with At&t's no data plan service (we could just swap sim cards?), aaand, will the phone's wifi still work for web-browsing anywhere with a signal? Thanks Everyone!

I guess a little more. I'm looking for a phone for movies/mp3 but no data plan, is this my best bet? Thanks again.

I know in the past if they 'find out' they'll add a data plan automatically. Off topic but I moved away from AT&T at that time and now I pay for three phones with unlimited calling ( including landlines ) and pay-as-you-go data only part ( the other is pre-pay ). it is rebranded T-Mobile from Walmart called Walmart Family Mobile. The cost is about $111/per month plus the data which is shared on all the devices and we have no more troubles. I buy my unlocked Windows Phones and just put in the sim card.

Are you buying the phone from AT&T? If so, they might have rules that require you to sign up for a data plan.

When I brought my own phone (iPhone) to AT&T, at one store they told me I had to sign up for a substantial data plan and I don't even remember what else, but it was ridiculous, so I walked out. I ended up going to another AT&T store and they were able to offer me a much lower-priced plan. And I think I then cancelled the data plan entirely (online, did not talk to anyone).

Now I have T-Mobile pre-paid and I'm very happy with it, but I hardly get any calling minutes.
