This phone actually has a basic $10 a month plan. And mine ended up being a pre-paid phone so it had to be unlocked from Verizon to be used on my plan. It's a great phone.

Ron, I ordered a new phone and received a used one so I sent it back and did not use it. Sorry I can't answer your question

NO...You do NOT need data for this phone. It can be disabled in the options. I called AT

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!

No, a data package is not required, i just called Verizon and gave them the code on the plate in the battery compartment and Verizon activates that phone w/ the number you provide. It was simpler than i thought! This is the BEST phone i have ever had! and i hate cell phones!

Just spoke with Verizon and they said the data plan for this phone is optional.

No. However if you have no plan, you will be charged for the amount of data used. So, although there's no requirement, you probably want a plan.

No you don"t. I have one and it does not require a data plan, if they start to charge you for one, you can cancel it and still be able to use the phone, but it is difficult to receive picture messages on.

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

Depends on your carrier, but the phone will work without a data plan. Just remember, the phone has bugs or might be mine had some, so i returned it for a nexus one at that time. This was like 4 years ago.

It does not require a data plan. We have the phone on our family plan, with talk and unlimited texting.

No this phone does not require any data plan. I have used the phone on a 25 a month month rate plan by pay as you go.

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.

Yes, you don't have to have a data plan. I got it for my son it's $50. For unlimited talk, text, internet, GPS... Etc. but you can just with unlimited talk an text for $40..... Those plans even go cheaper then that. Hope I helped you out.

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.

Yes, it does. You do not have to have a data plan with this phone either. I used it for over two months. The reception was pretty bad though. Everyone I talked to complained of background noise.

no you do not have to have a data plan I have at one with AT&T; for several years great phone for talking and texting.

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.
