Which is why a higher percentage of Android phones are not used as smartphones as compared to iOS.

  Source? At least in the States, you can't (easily) buy a smartphone of any kind without signing up for a data contract.

      What does that have to do with the grandparents comment?

        Browser usage is an indicator of "using a phone as smartphone", no? It even says so in the article.

    Yes, the forced data plans are irritating. I bought a used unlocked phone from another carrier and activated it on the target carrier. Their database has no a priori knowledge that my IMEI is a smartphone, so no data plan is forced on me. WiFi data works great, though, and I disable all the other data connections to avoid accidental data charges.
