I have an iPhone 3g which I gave to my daughter who uses it only for text message, and the occasional call, on a pay-as-you-go plan with Bell for $15.75 per month. She is not very happy to walk around with that antiquity, but hey, it's free and I'm paying for her plan, for my own peace of mind. If she wants to connect to the internet, she can always find free wifi practically everywhere in the city....If your iPhone is unlocked and you don't need data, this is perfect.
