Hello,
I've been gone a while. I sold my N900 and got a Samsung Note for 2 years. I just got a Note 3 yesterday as well.

But I need to get my wife a decent phone w/ a nice Camera etc for use on AT&T's network

We do not want to incur a Data plan, but WiFi would be awesome.

So I read that ATT is tagging N9's with Smartphone plans and I was wondering if this is possible:

1) Get the N9, and enable developer so I can mod it via Root.
2) Delete APN so that it would not even try to access Cellular Data

3) Delete the IMEI/EFS data or directory so it gets a generic IMEI and won't be ID'd on ATT as a N9

So we would use it for voice and WiFi and that's it.

I have to use it on my ATT family plan, because her phone only costs $10/month. So switching plans is not an option.

Is this possible?

I would like to get back to some MeeGo/Maemo stuff!

Thanx!

I think you can just turn off the mobile data connection and then it will just use wifi. I have AT&T and they have specific options available for people who have smartphones and only use wifi so I don't think editing the IMEI should be done and it is definitely not legal.
