How To Use Your Android Phone As Wifi Modem?

Can I use an Android cell phone without the data plan and just let it run on the wifi?

  • let's say i buy an HTC vivid on craigslist and just insert my sim card in the phone and just end up using the wifi and not the data plan, will that plan work out? or will AT&T end up finding out i'm using a smart phone and automatically boost me up to a data plan?

  • Answer:

    well wifi isn't everywhere so its super annoying to try and deal with connecting to it constantly. I thought up something like this actually, i was going to turn off all my minutes and texts and just have unlimited data and use Google Voice for everything cause its free and uses only data. i tried to do that and sprint stopped me in my tracks. they require a certain amount of minutes on the plan, and they charge for it too so i just ended up not doing that. i vote call at&t and find out for sure, but i'll bet you that at&t does the same thing, the companies are probably not oblivious to our "sneaky" ideas lol.

Well I think they most likely will end up finding out! But I think you can call them and ask if they can remove the data plan? But if you're gonna be using the wifi from your phone then it's gonna charge you either way... I think lol :)
