One workaround is to just do pure VOIP. Then you can get a data only plan. Gotta watch out for 911 access though.

Yeah, what happens when you call 911 in an environment with no 3G/2G and your carrier doesn't like your VoLTE? Is there a public safety issue embedded in all this?

Australia bans phones not capable of 4G 000, except for roaming. Tons of phones support VoLTE, but not emergency VoLTE for some reason.
