Audiovox SMT 5600 / SPV C500 (HTC Typhoon)
My experience getting this phone without data.
I'll try to make this quick.
1. I ordered the phone off Amazon with a 400+300 $39.99 plan (no data) knowing that AT&T requires data on their site. Received the phone this Tuesday.
2. I waited until the next morning and my phone still didn't register with the network.
3. I called and the guy flat out told me the phone wouldn't work without data and I should return it. I knew this was BS.
4. I tried a friend's AT&T sim card in my phone - worked fine.
5. I emailed Amazon about this, got a generic response, emailed again and it said to turn on the phone and I'd get an email with my new #.
6. I was skeptical of this, but much to my surprise I looked at my phone and sure enough, it said AT&T Wireless on it!
7. Lastly I checked my account...
