Ask Slashdot: Best Mobile Phone Solution With No Data Plan?

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 23, 2012 @10:51AM from the old-ways-are-best dept.

New submitter clorkster writes "I am looking to upgrade my mobile phone. I have always bought the cheapest possible phone with the least features since I only use it to make calls and text. Further, I am opposed to paying for internet access twice and my home access is certainly more important and necessary. I am now running into the issue that my phone is too archaic to receive text messages from newer smart phones (they somehow become picture messages). Any thoughts on a good smart phone without data plan or an almost smart phone solution?"

For example they have an unlimited data/text (up to 5gb at 4g speed) and 100 minutes for $30 a month.
This is a definition of unlimited with which I was previously unfamiliar.
