I'm looking for a "dumb" phone - one with NO internet or browser. Some sites says it does have a browser, others say it does not. Do you know? Thanks!

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..

There is no web browser, there are "APPS" designed around some web pages like Facebook and Wikipedia, but no browser that lets you go to any web page, there are also "APPS" designed around some streaming sites like Crackle, YouTube and Vimeo.

It does have a mobile web browser but it uses your minutes when you're online. I only use it for Internet access as a last resort.

It is not considered a smart phone - no data plan required. It is only good for texting and calling. The web browser is terrible and slow.

This phone worked so good I wore out my first one and found another one here on AMAZON and orderd it thankfully cuz I couldn't c hardly at all thru my screen it was completely worn.

This will access the internet, however it will not be the same experience as a smart phone. You can check email, search Amazon, eBay and so on but it will be tedious and laborious. You'd still need a data plan or wifi, and on that I have had 2. The second had a newer operating system and I bought it instead of an iphone because I was used to it and it was simple but it was just so aggravating for internet access. If you plan to do much on the net you'd be better off getting a smartphone.

Mobile web means that you can surf the net. It's not as fast as the smartphones but it's adequate enough if you don't use it that much. I like this phone.

The sony Ericsson W518A - I am the same way. I dont want a smart phone, so I have had this phone for a long time and treasure it. All I want to do is talk or text. You can do internet and stuff too if you want. I just choose not to. Its a flip phone and one hand texting. Its simple and very ABC. I also ordered a phone cover that comes in black or red and the feel of it is AMAZING. Ordered them from Mobile Vogue off of Amazon as well as my phones off of amazon from Cells man - bought 2 phones and paid $86. Hope this helps!!!!!!!

No. I understand it handles data well, but I don't text or e-mail from phone. It is one of the last non-smart phones, but has lots of touch screen and advanced features. It has "only" 3 main screens, but that's 2-1/2 more than I use. You can move icons you don't use to "the end" and only see the ones you need. I'm not too hapy with the way it interacts with my Motorola bluetooth earpiece, but it's minor annoyance. If you're lookiing to stave off HAVING to go to a smart phone, this is a good upgrade from basic/flip type.

yes this is a smart phone.. so only time you can go on internet is when you click on browser button on the phone..

No..it is not an Android phone. It barely accesses the web. For me, not a single web page loaded, so I decided not to pay for data once I realized how slow it loads. I now have a Samsung Galaxy S5. I was truly left behind with the LG phone, and never realized how stuck I was. Google play is for Android phones and none are pay as you go, unless for maybe Metro. I do not know.

No. It does have Internet on it to get on Facebook or look stuff up but it is not a smart phone.

Yes, it's a touchscreen phone. You'll need mobile internet to activate the phone without hacking the phone. Once activated, internet is not required to use the device.

No, this is not considered a smart phone. A smart phone will allow you to surf the web and this phone does not have that capability. A smart phone will also let you install and run external applications, and once again, this phone does not have that capability.

No, this is not a smartphone. It can text and has a QWERTY keyboard, and can access the internet - with data fees - but can not download apps like an iPhone or other smartphone features.

Yes. This phone is very basic and jittery. It's ok for a first phone or for a kid but it certainly isn't smart. The internet capabilities are below average and the phone has a couple of glitches and is very small so you cannot watch videos very well. Hope this helps. If your looking for something thin with a bigger screen to watch videos, play games, listen to music and surf the internet, this isn't the phone for you!
