This is a very basic question however I am not a tech savy person, so please forgive me. I am living in China and want to buy an unlocked Magic or G1 to use here. I do not have 3G and would just use my SIM card from the Chinese carrier to make phone calls. I would want to check my email using wireless internet. I would not have a data plan.
My friends here have the iphone and they can do all that I mentioned about.
Will I be able to do the same with an unlocked Android phone? I have read that you need a data plan even with an unlocked G1. Is this true? What about other Android phones such as the Magic.
In summary I would make phone calls using the prepaid SIM card and use wireless internet for email and surfing the net.
Thanks
Frank
