Default iPhone Mail?

Does the iPhone Mail App use Data or Text?

Thanks

It's data, thus you'd need a data plan...

All you really need is a media net plan. Just sayin...

The only thing that uses "text" for communication is Instant Messengers, and even then, it's not on something that happens on the iPhone.

That happens on Blackberrys and cheap non-pda devices.

Also, you dont really even need a data plan.. I have my email setup and I use free WIFI.

(now that my iPhone doesnt have service since my # was moved to my Droid. )

My account said before I activated the iPhone that my old Media Net Unlimited Data and 200 text message was going to be active until sometime in January and the iPhone data plan would be active then.

Is there anyway to keep my Media Net Plan instead of the iPhone plan?

Not necessarily. If AT&T finds out he's using the phone with a $15 media net
plan then they have the right to upgrade it to the iPhone plan.

Safari works with media net. It's almost kind of a rip off charging $30 but what
can you do.

Yeah..it'll work "for awhile" until you try and use data one day and get the popup that you aren't subscribed to the correct data plan.. :P

What about swapping my sim between my Blackberry and iPhone, If i took the sim out of my iphone and use my Blackberry is that OK? Also will AT&T change my data plan again?

Thanks
