Transferring a basic phone to a smartphone, whilst keeping basic phone plan?
I have an LG Extravert 2 and I also have a deactivated iphone 5. The iphone has an at&t sim card, and although I know that my basic phone doesn't have a sim card, I was wondering if I could "transfer" it into the iphone. I've checked all my other basic phones hanging around and none of them have sim cards either.
Is there a way I can "move" my basic phone into the deactivated iphone WITHOUT paying/activating the smartphone? That way I don't have to carry them both around? Could I activate a basic at&t phone and then transfer its sim card to the iphone?
basically I want a smartphone without data
sorry if its confusing...im not tech savvy

No, that's not possible. Also as soon as you start using an activated smartphone, AT&T can see what device you're using and will then change your plan to include data.
There's no way to just have a non-data smartphone be activated.

No. Smartphones must have a data package of 300MB per month at minimum to work. AT&T's lowest data package. The sim card will active the smartphone and automatically enroll you into a data plan via AT&T. (If it does it as an automated process.) Otherwise the smartphone won't recognize the sim card at all which is the likely scenario.

No, AT&T will know the new phone is a smartphone thus start charging you for a data plan.
