does this phone require a data plan

Yes because this is a smart phone. All smartphones require a data plan. But, I used it with pageplus, the website is pagepluscellular.com. Page Plus Cellular is a prepaid wireless service provider operating in the United States. Page Plus, as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, uses Verizon Wireless network to provide its services. So you can use this phone on this site with a cheap prepaid plan. So, check out their site.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the Internet you can use any wifi available. If you are wanting Internet all the time, you might want to look into getting a hotspot which will require a data plan. I hope this information helps!!

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.

Basic phone with data capabilities. I do not use a data plan for cost reasons. This phone is the best basic phone I have ever owned. I am extremely rough on phones and it has lasted me longer than any phone before it.

This phone can be used without a data plan, but of course you know the data plan is needed if you want to use the internet.

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T; has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

It does not require any data plan. You can install SIM card and start to use it right away. You can choose any GSM provider here in US as well as in Europe. This is a reason to buy an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, we've sent it back to seller. It has very good design (it's a Sony(!), so you get a very good designed phone just by default). It was brand new, in the original box, but did not work at all, unfortunately again. May be it was just a Chinese grey copy, but it's only my guess.

Yes you have to have a data plan to use the phone if you want to use the internet unless you plan on only hooking to your own internet. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Doesn't have enough internal memory, freezes up a lot. Total waste of money.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

Whether or not a phone requires a data plan is up to your Carrier. We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure with them if they require for the phone to have a data plan.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the LG Prime. The phone is classified as a "Feature Phone". You will not be able to use the included IM/Email features, but everything else will work just fine. I've been using it for over a week now without any data plan. I love it!

All I can tell you is it is listed as a "verizon" wireless phone. To me that says it is configured for the verizon network. Whether it works without a data plan, I have no idea. I bought mine to replace a RAZR I'd had since 2008.
