If I connect to wifi, will the data usage automatically be wifi, or do I have to do something to switch it over from my data plan?

your phone will automatically connect and use wifi first before using your data. all smartphones are designed to do that. you can also go into your settings and select data usage and turn your data on and off so that it only uses your data plan data when you want it to. That way you only use wifi if you can connect to it and you dont accidentally use your data unknowingly. good luck we have enjoyed our phone so far

You will stop using your data limit when wifi is connected. Its saves you data in the end. Wifi is a wonderful thing. Enjoy your phone.

I have mine set to automatically use wifi when available. I have never had to switch mine over.

Once you connect to wifi your data isn't just wifi your also using your moble data. You need to cut your moble data off so it doesn't use your phone data off of your plan

Sorry I took so long. The cell dose not need data to run unlike most. Yes the cell will use Wi-Fi insted of data and there is a setting that tells the phone to ONLY DOWNLOAD OVER WI-FI. Or ask before downloading. Its a good cell to have if you dont use data much like me. As a plus, I posted ths from the cell on wi-fi. Hope this helped.

I only use mine with WiFi, if you are not near a WiFi you would need a data plan and make your phone a hot spot to connect, but no, you don't need a data plan.

If your using your wifi at home to be able to use the device, NOT USING IT AS A HOTSPOT, then no data plan should be needed. If your going to turn the mobile hot spot on the device on then yes you do need a data plan

I can't really answer that because when I am in a WiFi area I turn off data so that I don't waste it. I turn the data back on when I am out of a wifi if i need to go on the internet for some reason. I have never ran out of data by doing it this way. T-Mobile has always replenished the data without fail. Hope this helps. I have so far have no complaints with this book.James

I bought a used i545. I did not change my verizon plan. I still have unlimited data. There may be a 50 or 60 gigabyte cap.

I don't think so; however, it was for my son so I am not certain. I did not let him use it for any data usage.

Hi Barbra, If you have wifi you really won't need a data plan but, you can add one. And, also gps.

Just want to make sure I understand this before selecting a plan: when you make calls on wifi, do the minutes count against your plan minutes, or not? 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.

How did you do this? ...How did you disable 3G data usage from within the phone to ensure only WiFi data usage?

Yes you can. Wifi is a connection to your home network, many phones have wireless capability these days. It will keep you from using your data.

If used just to make phone calls, yes, it will take almost zero data, however if you use your phone to surf the internet while on the extender it will use more data.

Yes u don't need wifi internet connection. You only need to connect to the wifi from the file hub.

Yes, that is correct. I myself have chosen to only use for WiFi at the moment but have already verified I can add it to my Verizon account should I ever choose to.

Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.
