The plan you are capable of is up to your Carrier. We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure what sort of plans they have available for this model phone.

Hi. You get what is the latest advertised on the website. I activated the 29$ plan and got 500mb and unlimited talk plus what is said on the website. I guess the 50mb and 250min were part of an old plan?

Virgin's "Beyond Talk" plan starts at $35/month (although I'm grandfathered at $25 :) which includes 300 min of talk time (plenty for me but maybe not if you're a big talker) and has unlimited texting and data (that means INTERNET!) So the easy answer to your question is NO UPGRADES NECESSARY. However, they just started throttling data once you go past 2.5gig. But it resets each monthly pay period. And that's a fair amount of data IMHO. Anyway, if you're considering this phone/plan then you must be looking for a rock-bottom price for a good (not great) service. It delivers. But if you want truly HUGE amounts of data and a cutting edge phone then you'll have to look elsewhere . . . and pay at least 3 times as much!

Thank you, but I am not a GoPhone customer - I was wondering about being able to pay that price for a data plan for a non-go phone current at&t; customer.

I had to call Verizon after activating the phone and ask them to remove the data plan. Best to check with your carrier prior to purchase.

My phone also said "Unlocked," but wasn't. I e-mailed the company I purchased it from, going through Amazon, and was able to get my free unlocking code through them or try AT&T. Once you get it unlocked, you can go with a pay-as-you-go plan from Net10 or Consumer Cellular, or whatever company you want to use.

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

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.

As far as I know there is $40 plan pre loaded with some sim. I am not sure why the review said so.

I use virgin mobile. You'll have to check their plans on their website. It varies depending on how much data you require.

We went with a pay as you go plan through Verizon. The plan is unlimited talk text and 2gb of web. and we pay a fair price each month. and we are not locked into a contract. That's the best part.

@JCNot as far as I can tell. The unlimited talk plans also come with text; in which case, Google Voice wouldn't necessarily save you money.

BUYER BEWARE!! I just got this today for my daughter after reading these answers and guess what....WRONG. Verizon forced me to get a $10 data plan to activate this phone today, 05/30/2014.

Sorry have not used that feature. Usually handled by the carrier but if the phone does it that might save $.

The phone was purchased for someone else, I personally do not have experience with the phone
