I use mine currently on a prepaid plan and it doesn't require data. I'm not too sure about postpaid monthly accounts. I've heard of people putting their sim cards into prepaid phones and they've worked exactly the same. Worst case scenario you switch to a prepaid plan instead. I believe you can transfer your # it'll changed to a prepaid account is all. They have a $25 and $50 plan or pay by the minute depending on your needs . It all depends on if you have to switch to prepaid.

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.

I just changed the sim card and I didn't have a data plan and it still worked perfectly fine.

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

I would say yes. If you don't have a wi-fi connection or 3G you will need some type of data plan if you have a smart phone.

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.

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.

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card

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.

I was told it needed a data plan. I have not tried it otherwise. If you are not having a data plan, you probably do not want a smart phone, which is bigger.

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.

Att will no add a data plan to this phone. One drawback is that it has no wifi.

A data plan is not needed, phone works great with just text and voice 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.

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.

No data plan is required for this model, however, be certain that Verizon does not add a data plan when you activate the phone

You don't need data plan. I have att fusion 2 but I'm not required to use data plan and I have A

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

You are right about the rest if you use a smartphone to access internet without wi-fi available it has to have a data plan with AT&T; now whether it is gophone or contract.

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.

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