So I assume that would mean that when you tell them the phone you have saying you have a Pantech Jest would be illegal?
Sorry I am new to this!

It wouldn't violate laws to not have a data plan. It would violate your contract to use a non-smartphone plan for a smartphone though.

Keep in mind, modifying your ESN is against federal laws.
