It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.

No, it does not require a data plan. It's an unlocked at&t; phone, but I was able to get the tmobile month to month plan.

No .you can use it with or without a data plan. That is why i got it simple talking and texting.

Laidaa is wrong. A sim card is necessary but not sufficient, you also need a quadband phone which this is. A triband phone would not work in Asia.

Yes it does. It has multiple language options for the operating systems. I'm not so sure about the apps themselves, but I would assume so.

Definitely can be used in Asia. Just put in a prepaid sim card. Make sure you have the unlocked cellphone.

It works where you purchase the SIM card. Be sure during set up to change the country to where you are. It took me awhile to figure out why there were so many Chinese Characters on the computer setup screen.

I was told it needed a data plan. I have not tried it otherwise. If you are not having a data plan, you probably do not want a smart phone, which is bigger.

Yes. Just buy a SIM card in Asia for carrier of your choice and activate it. You will be good to go.

It has been a few years that i used this phone, but i believe it had spanish letters easily accessible as well as some asian. It is an older model phone though.

Android comes with all languages at least for output, not really sure about the input, I have a Chinese friend he switched just to make sure and works, I was completely in Chinese, but we did not try the keyboard

No, I used in Tokyo and Narita, Japan. It was easy to set up, and able to use it. It is not cheap so, I keep this phone for emergency only for oversea use. Do not try to use 3G data. It didn't work and got charged over $290!!!

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.

I don't believe so.I returned this phone. It is very slow and awkward to use by comparison to others - mostly because it was loaded with bloatware and I did e mail back and forthwork with light ahead to try to fix it but things they suggested did not help. It continually accessed internet by itself and picked up Chinese videos which cost me data usage. They told me it was normal.

Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.
