Can I activate this phone on my dataless plan? Or will verizon require me to buy a data plan? I only want to use internet by accessing wi fi.

You do not have to buy a data plan. But give one of there stores a call and ask what kind of deal you get.Good luck to you, Patti

I know you won't be required to get a plan with this this phone. But call your local store and explain what it is you would like to do. This is what I did and it really worked out for me. I told the I wanted unlimited mind and texting and I got it. So it never hurts to ask. Good luck. Patti

Yes, you can activate it to your account. This model does require a data plan. Verizon may charge and activation fee, I'm not sure. Ususally you can call in to activate a phone but I'm not sure if they would still charge or not.Thank you for your interest,ClaytonMobilekarma

This phone was for my mom and she already had an AT&T account. She isn't the best with technology so she only uses WiFi at home without any data plans. The phone still works perfectly well without a data plan. Normally when you get a new smartphone from an AT&T store they HAVE you get a data plan but when it comes to just switching phones with a you don't exactly have to get a data plan since you already have a pre-existing account. That's from what I see from how she uses it.

You need a SIM card to activate it if you have a already have a SIM card you can go online and login to your Verizon account if you already have one and activate it. You can also just call from you Verizon phone *611 or just go to the store for them to activate it and if you don't have a SIM card they will give you one . Hope this helps if you have a 4G LTE phone with a normal SIM card you can put that in it and will work also.

Verizon has not required a data plan with my enV3 phone, however the first clerk that I talked to was sure that I would need one. I've had this phone for over 3 years, no data plan. Good Luck!

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

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.

I was able to activate my phone under the verizon plan that I already had. You will have to have some sort of plan/contract in order to use the phone.

I bought this phone to replace my daughters bad LG Cosmos Touch on our Verizon "NATIONWIDE TLK&TXT; SHARE 700 ". This is not a data plan . I attempted to activate it through the Verizon Wireless website and did not see an option to activate without a data plan. So instead I called in the activation and the rep. was able to activate it without a data plan. No changes were made to my plan. It's my belief that the web site is set up to (mis)lead you into a data plan.

The phone is ready to activate, but you will need to provide a Verizon SIM. Verizon will provide one to you if you are a current or new Verizon customer. Thanks!

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.

I bought this phone a few months ago and already had a data plan from verizon. When I got the phone I just called verizon to have them help me activate it

The camera and other non-internet features can be used without activation with Verizon. It can function with WiFi connection. Calls, texts and other service related features will require activation with Verizon.

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. But you cant buy the phone from verizon. I bought mine through amazon and then switched the activation from my old phone to this one and i still have the unlimited data plan

You can use it on a normal post-paid shared data-only plan as well, if you like. Either way, get your SIM from Verizon.There's also been a firmware update in the last few months to support the newer Verizon LTE technologies (what's now branded as "XLTE," I believe). In some cases this should get you better or faster performance - partly due to mitigating network congestion.

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.
