Yes, if you insert your at&t; sim card att will automatically add a data plan on your account, so don't insert your sim card unless you want a data plan

Yes you have to have a data plan to use the phone if you want to use the internet unless you plan on only hooking to your own internet. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Doesn't have enough internal memory, freezes up a lot. Total waste of money.

No, you don't have to have a data plan for this phone. We are using it as spare phone abroad with multiple providers. However, the charges will apply, when you use data though.

Yes. I bought this phone for my brother as a basic phone on my Verizon plan. It's been working great. It's a very nice simple phone with a colorful touch display. You will not need to purchase a data plan.

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.

This phone only works with T mobile so you must have a T mobile service plan. I believe all of their current plans include some data. You can use T mobile's WiFi calling and data feature but you still have to purchase a T mobile plan.

The phone itself does not require a data plan but your carrier may specify otherwise. I have the same phone for both my kids. We are all on AT&T; network. The phones work great.

It needs a data plan, but you don't need a contract to get it in service. Very quirky though. If you have other choices, go with another phone. Tends to go off line a lot. and locks up to the point where you have to take the battery out to reset.

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.

This phone can be used without a data plan, but of course you know the data plan is needed if you want to use the internet.

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

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, 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.

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.

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.

I believe it does require a data plan. I do know you can only activate the phone on a verizon contract so havibg to commit a data plan isnt that hard to believe.
