My first question is what's the right answer here? And if carriers don't allow it, why not? Seriously, why can't I have just data on my Samsung Galaxy S3 or on the Galaxy Note 2? Something doesn't add up here. I've also read other blogs and message boards where people say it can't be done, because the carrier needs the device IMEI number to register the it with the service etc. And I've read online about people being able to this. The wireless carriers I've talked to claim that you can't use a tablet SIM card in your smartphone, so that you can get a data only plan.īut I've talked to some store representatives who say it can be done. I just want a data-only plan so that I could use Google Voice and Skype for any calls that I might need. I don't need a voice plan for my smartphone. In this edition of Ask Maggie, I offer some advice and explanation to a reader on this topic. And customers who want to forgo voice service for data-only services are also not able to get what they want. This seems like a simple enough concept, and yet customers who want a smartphone but only want to pay for voice services can't get it. Why do wireless carriers have to make everything so complicated? Wireless subscribers should be able to subscribe to the service they want and need and not be forced to take services they don't want or need.
