    A quick phone call to your local ATT store should present the answer

    Yes, I know... and unfortunately, the answer is no. And since you need to activate in store, there is no way around this problem. You could wait for the unsubsidized iPhone ( for $600 and $700 on AT&T), which allows you to buy the iPhone w/o a contract. But, this is a "Coming Soon" item, whatever the hell that means.

    Good Luck!

    NO, you cannot get it WITHOUT the DATA.



    Trust me, I know.



    The better question would be, if you had say, oh, I don't know, a 3G phone that you cancelled is COULD YOU crack INTO the 3G network and get 3G DATA for free....





    Now, in theory, doesn't this mean that we can use the iPHONE to connect your LAPTOP via BLUETOOTH to access the internet?
