You're comparing the price of presumably unlocked phones. Nobody is forcing you to get a data plan with your Nexus 4.

- scott_karana 13y agoYup. Get the same plan as the Nokia user, and then use free Wi-Fi, applications, etc...
- libria 13y agoCan't speak for other carriers, but Verizon prohibited me from using a smart phone on a non-data plan. I assume some technological breakthroughs are required to permit that pairing.
- mcpherrinm 13y agoThat sucks. While I was a student, I just got the cheapest prepaid SIM card for my old Nexus One and paid the $10/mo for unlimited texting. Wifi blanketing campus, my house, and my favourite bar meant I rarely missed data. I certainly wouldn't go with Verizon if that was the case.
- hyperpape 13y agoFair enough. I guess I was under the mistaken impression that carrier subsidies were a bigger deal with all smartphones than they really are.
- djeikyb 13y agoAtt won't let you use a smart phone without a data plan. Or at least, the reps I've talked to insist it isn't possible.
