Here's the deal: most carriers require that iPhones using their network have an associated data plan. So, check with your carrier to see if they will permit an iPhone on their network without a data plan. If your carrier says yes, you can swap the sim in the phone no problem. Carriers can tell exactly what type of phone/equipment is using their network by the device's IMEI number.
