I definitely want my mobile provider to be a dumb data pipe but it is against the grain with what most people actually want.
That being said I have sort of achieved it by getting a data-only "tablet" plan. However it is a pain because some apps are very confused that you don't have a number and Android really wants you to use the default dialer instead of a SIP app for calls.
