do you need internet or data package for this phone?

No data needed. I had to call the carrier to set up the phone. If I tried signing it up online, it asked for a data plan.

No. It's a great phone. Had the original voyager and now this one. The charging port messed up on my first one or I would've had no reason to replace it.

Verizon didn't ask me for one when I activated the phone. It may vary between carriers.

No internet connection needed, it will boost the lower frequency phone signal as well as a high frequency data signal. Which will allow you to use your data as well as voice.

I think if you have the data package--it looks like that is an option for this phone, but I don't currently have that in my plan.

Although I purchased the phone for my daughter, and we don't use the phone for Internet, I believe the phone is capable of using data and wifi. Many of the features can't be used without it.

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.

Regardless of what phone you get if you want to use any internet you will need a 3g/4g plan unless you are around a wifi-hotspot. If your asking if its required to have a internet plan then no. Some carriers tend to say it is a requirement if you own a smartphone but that is not true. The phone should not allow you to connect online on their network without a internet plan don't let them fool you its a sales tactic.

No data plan required. I have had two LG 8350 phones. Both had phone jacks that broke and could only be used with a headset.

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.

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.

Whether or not you'll need a data plan to use this phone to its full potential is up to your Carrier.We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure with them.

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!

Yes, this phone requires a data package through any provider. Net10 provides unlimited talk/text/data for low monthly plans.

In order to use the internet services on this phone without wifi, you will have to have a data plan.

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

I don't know if a data plan is required ... though clearly you could not access e-mail without it. It is very slow for internet, very slow ... but I use it for podcasts, internet radio, phone, and text. I have an AT&T; plan (USA) that allows me 500 minutes voice per month, unlimited data, and unlimited texts for $35 per month. That is a very good rate. You can only get that plan with an "unlocked" phone, like this one.
