Yes you can. I store the info on a sad card and then use it in my phone. Works awesome no data plan or internet

I'm desperately trying to find out myself. This being brand new, I've read how Palm (and others, I'm sure) got rid of stand-alones featured on their webpage- thus forcing the market into plans (data or phone). The only thing I've come across so far (a few days looking into this) are cheap ways to look into data plans, but I'd loooooooove to find a stand-alone or unlock one to make it happen or whatever. Shoestring budget forces my hand. Kinda feels like a monopoly when I walk into a Best Buy and there's nothing but smartphones/pda and expensive plans. And in this economy.

Because the device doesn't use data, you can use any carrier's SIM card with the device. It should have voice and SMS capability. You would send commands to the device over SMS and it will reply with location information using cell tower information.

Do you mean cell and data or just data service? It can be used without using Mobile data but as far as I know it can't be activated without a data plan it can be used to an extent as a touch screen device if it has no data or cell plan but only if you connect it to a WiFi network. That said I would say no it can't be used without an Internet/data service

OK..... You need to buy a phone without wifi. Also you need a plan that offers talk and text only.

Yes, phone can be used without internet. Tmobile sells sim card for unlocked phones.

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.

I used it on T-Mobile pre-paid. I just put the SIM from my Samsung into the Treo, and it was good to go for phone and text without any data plan. It does not, however, provide connection to call over wifi (but the browser works fine with wifi). I switched to an Android phone to get the calling over wifi feature, because the T-Mobile signal is poor inside my house.

I doubt it, honestly. I just got my Storm from verizon, and the rep told me that all of their smartphones are required to have a data plan. I doubt they would program the phone for you without the data plan.

Since I already had a Verizon data plan all I did was replace my old Palm Pre with this new one. I assume that YES you will need a data plan. Good luck.

Yep. I am not using Outlook either and the phone works great. Nice big screen. It has an internal phone database.

Yes if you intend to keep the Phone firm ware up to date and browse internet. If you dont have a data plan do not turn on your phone's Mobile network data settings.

We apologize for the delay in responding. No this phone definitely does not require a data plan. I have it myself so I know for sure. Thank you for your interest.Clayton Recellulartoo

Yes, you can use it on wifi without a SIM card. When you turn it on, it just says there is no SIM card. FYI, you can get an H2O SIM card for a penny on Amazon, then buy 250 minutes for $10 and the minutes don't expire for 90 days. H2O uses the AT&T; network, so the calls are the same quality.

No, the phone does not require a data plan. I have the phone and do not have a data plan.

NO you cannot.. You can just connect the base with a router and the phone would work without any computer..

Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.
