I'm assuming you're asking about having a data plan. This depends on your carrier. I used the C3-01 without a data plan with no problem. I subsequently bought an unlocked Nokia C6-01. AT&T; now has the ability to dectect whether you are using a smart phone. I was notified by AT&T; that they detected that I was using a smart phone (the C6-01), and warned that if I continued to use the smart phone on their service, a data plan would be automatically added to my account. However this never happened. So, I'd give it a try and see what happens. You can always connect to the internet using wi-fi on the C3- 01. I'm assuming you're asking about having a data plan.

Not really. You have very basic internet access, but it's NOT a true smart phone.

Yes, will work without an internet connection. Either use the APE to create a wireless network, or join the APE to your existing wireless network

No internet connection needed, it will boost the lower frequency phone signal as well as a high frequency data signal. Which will allow you to use your data as well as voice.

You would have to have a wired network, since this phone does not have a WiFi antenna.

This is not a smart phone. However, you can access some of the internet through data only, no Wi-Fi

Answer to the question "Can this be used without a data plan": Yes. I used it for two years with no data plans. It comes with a wifi to allow you connecting to the internet when wifi is available.

Yes, since this is not an android phone, you can just call your service provider and tell them you don't want to use data plans. That's what I did with mine.

No this phone does not need internet to operate, although you can have internet on a US Cellular plan, you can also access a wireless network to have internet on this phone.

You don't UNLESS you choose to use the web features of the phone. The phone has limited web capability that will require a data transfer. If you tell your provider you will not be using the web features then they will shut that portion of your phone off and you wont have to.

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.

O. Gaynor, you can use this phone on AT&T; without a data plan. I am sure several folks do it. I use it, but with teh media net plan, not a smartphone data plan. I am 100% sure you can use this phone without any kind of data plan. For its price, it's a very solid smartphone.

Without an internet provider you cannot use this device. That is where your connection comes from.
