Does this phone have to have a plan with AT&T?

If the phone is unlocked then no it does not have to have an AT&T; plan. I have two Bursts that are unlocked and I have Straight Talk plans. You will need a SIM card from your provider which you will have to install in the phone. Easy to do. There is also some set up your provider will tell you how to do. One annoying thing is that the phone is branded for AT&T; therefore there are AT&T; apps on the phone that you cannot remove.

No it doesnt. I live in Jamaica and it was just fine with my network here. I have had this phone for over a year now. No issues.

I don't think so. I only use it for calling and texting and not the internet, but we've had the plan for a while. Might be worth a quick call to AT&T; to see what is available.

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, 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.

It may not work with AT&T;, this phone does not have a Sim slot but if it descent require a Sim it should work.

Yes. My mother in law has this phone with AT&T; as a prepaid. She only gets charged if she uses it that day. Unlimited use for that day once you get charged.

I'm with AT&T.; Don't know, but would think so. This is not a smart phone, but if your plan allows you to access the net, text, take pics to send, receive pics or any part of that, this phone will do these things. Talk to T-Mobile.

No. This phone is verizon locked. Another customer said it didn't work with AT&T.; Hope that helps.

If you mean for the phone itself? No. Land line service doesn't automatically come with it though, but it doesn't have to be AT&T.; The phone line you will have to pay for.

Not sure I haven't been out of the US with mine. I assume it will just get an international plan. I've seen that plan available on the To Go Phone plans that I use with this phone. Call AT&T; and double check though.

Yes you can, thats what I had did. However, AT&T is still going to automatically add a data plan to your account after the phone has been used for more than a day. With all AT&T smartphones(which this phone is), it is required to have a data plan. Even if you only planned on using this as a basic talk and text only. They are still going to charge you for data plan, roughly about 30 dollars a month. But in my case it is now 20 dollars plus tax a month

No, you need to purchase a new sim card from at&t; the phone is great I had no issues with the phone device, I gave this phone to an elderly member in my family he loves it at first little complicated, but soon handle it just fine

That is not really true if using a Pay as You Go plan. You are not required to have a data plan. I checked on the ATT site. If you have a contract and try to put your sim card in a smartphone, they will detect it and add a data plan automatically.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

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

I was able to get a phone plan from AT&T; with no data plan. But that was many years ago. I don't know what the carriers would demand now. Good luck! Dave H.

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.
