g1 internet

[jkall37]

What if I don't want to pay the $35 g1 service and just want to use the phone for texting and calling, will I be able to do that? Or does this phone need all the services?

No, you have to get a Service Plan.

You might as well get a basic flip phone if you don't want a Data Plan.

Yeah a g1 is pretty well crippled without a data plan.

I'm pretty sure if your with tmobile and get a g1 from them your REQUIRED to have that data plan.

you would have to buy a g1 from them for the full price with ought a contract.
then you need to buy a cheap phone from them too with a plan.
you'll also need a friend with a data plan.

use your friends sim card to activate your phone with his data plan.
after that you can put the cheap phones sim into the g1
