Hi Angus, If you buy a GSM iPhone at full price and unlocked you can get a SIM from your provider of choice and you should be able to select a voice only plan. This is definitely the case in Canada since when I first had my iPhone 4 I simply kept my existing cheaper voice only plan and I am sure it's true for Europe. I know people in the States have used AT&T prepaid cards, the only restriction might be with CDMA carriers like Verizon who might force you into a data plan.
Now, as for why you would want an iPhone and then limit it to voice only thereby cutting off so much functionality is another question, but it is of course your choice and I'm just saying that I lasted all of 1 month on my voice only plan after I got my iPhone back in 2010. As for keyboards, there are a number of small keyboards out there most of which are exactly the size of an iPhone, a search of the archives for "mini keyboard" would probably give you some results.

Also, I would like to find a good Wireless T9 keypad for the iPhone. Is their a T9 keypad for the iPhone? I could get a numberpad for my Wireless Trackpad. Carrying the Wireless Trackpad is a bit cumbersome.
