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.

I bought this phone to replace my daughters bad LG Cosmos Touch on our Verizon "NATIONWIDE TLK&TXT; SHARE 700 ". This is not a data plan . I attempted to activate it through the Verizon Wireless website and did not see an option to activate without a data plan. So instead I called in the activation and the rep. was able to activate it without a data plan. No changes were made to my plan. It's my belief that the web site is set up to (mis)lead you into a data plan.

It is without plan, you need to activate it online. You pay for their option online and then associate it with this simcard.

If it is wi-fi only, then no data plan will work. However, if you have the ability to create a hot-spot on your phone, then you don't need a data plan, as you can simply utilize the wi-fi to connect to your phone instead. This is probably the most efficient way to to use your wi-fi when you're not in a trusted place.

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!

No. A plan has to be taken to activate it...(so that you can receive calls...) Without topping up sim cannot be just activated

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.

You do not need to have a data plan with the Samsung Brightside cell phone. I have one on a standard Verizon cell plan, no data. You can save the $35 activation fee if you register/activate it by yourself on the Verizon web site. I easily activated it on my own after purchasing one via the Internet. www.verizonwireless.com/

I was doing the same but it would not activate. It may have been because there was no data plan on my account

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.

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's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon. However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

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

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.

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.
