Yes, this is a "basic phone". I use it with Verizon. I do not have a data plan. It will do media type things but that cost extra, as you know.

nope, just activate on your current plan! Great, simple little no frills phone

I had the phone without a data plan but it has a very rudimentary 'browser' if you could even call it that... I haven't used it in years but I don't remember it being worth anything internet wise. However maybe the service you get could help prevent any internet usage by not allowing data..

No data plan required. We gave our daughter this phone because she destroyed everything else. 1 year and still working. We have the phone on a family unlimited text plan, but that is all. No data plan.

A computer is not needed but you do need a unlocked cell phone to with sim capability to set up with the local internet provider. When set up is done just remove sim from phone then place in your device. Hope this helps...

This phone is basic, but you can add the internet to your service provider, but beware of the charges.

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.

I never used the phone for internet because the quality isn't that great. Your better off getting an android phone. Net10 has them sometimes on sale or for free if you buy the plan.

I pay monthly to my service provider. I do not need internet in my phone so downloading is not an option but its a good simple phone. I like it.

Yes. It's an empty phone with no plan now. you can use for family plan or add pre paid service. However I'm very unhappy with it, I dropped it after 3 days.

Yes but does not require payments for a data plan. I just use talk and text.

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 a data plan is not required. However, if you are buying this phone to use with an existing phone plan that you have with AT&T; in order to avoid a data charge for a new smartphone through AT&T;, and you wanting to switch sim cards between the phones. AT&T; will *happily* add a data charge to this phone. Best bet is to cancel the service you have (if you are out of you contracted obligation) and use the sim that comes with the phone and follow the setup instructions that also come with the phone.

data plan is only required if you phone with subsidy. The phone will connect to wifi without a data plan

No data plan is required and you can use regular Wifi for internet access. I'd reccommend the Fusion 2 that they have now, it's basically the same phone, but with more internal memory.

No the only thing you will really need then is the SD card to hold enough data files for music, and it wont be able to do any net surfing without a internet data plan and sim card for the service.
