User-1 · 07-04-2010, 02:10 PM

Hello all,

As shocking as it maybe for some, there's people out there that can live without a data plan! All I really need to function is a phone that works. I live in an area that has numerous open AP for wireless. Both purposely (coffee shops) and maybe not by design (some home users). At home I have everything I need, so I don't need a data plan there too.

I am interested in getting a phone that has GPS but I don't want to be tied down with a data plan to use it. If someone can either direct me to a thread, or explain to me how this is done, that would be great.

Again, I'm in a dense urban area with lots of wifi. If I don't have a signal I can use, no biggie. Also I plan on loading up the maps on my phone.
