can you use a BlackBerry with no data plan? I have US Cellular, but don't want a smart phone plan. I just want to make calls and text.

Yea!!! That is how I do it!!! I don't even know how to get on the internet with my phone.... I have had my BlackBerry for quite a while now and it is a tough little bugger!!!! My puppy has even used it as a chew toy and it still works perfectly fine!!!

AT&T; will add a data plan when you activate any smartphone. EVEN IF you don't activate it with them. Hope that helps.

Unlimited talk and text, but only 1GB of data. You have to watch your data really close. I have had an entire month without data. I don't know why, but it has upset me.

don't really understand your question. If you are using t mobile, I assume you already have a sim card with a voice and/or data plan. If you only have a voice plan, then you could still use the phone but only to make calls or send text messages. All other features require a data plan ($10/month)

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.

You can use any smartphone features without a sim card. You just won't be able to call or text people.

I do not have a data plan. So I use it only for phone call. It works fine as a backup phone. I can't seem to synch it with bluetooth so it makes it more problematic unless you use their earphones. But I know people who were able to synch

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.

Yes you can, thats what I had did. However, AT&T; is still going to automatically add a data plan to your account after the phone has been used for more than a day. With all AT&T; smartphones(which this phone is), it is required to have a data plan. Even if you only planned on using this as a basic talk and text only. They are still going to charge you for data plan, roughly about 30 dollars a month. But in my case it is now 20 dollars plus tax a month

You don't need a data plan. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you wanted to use the internet anyways; the access is not good for web surfing. Great for a basic text and talk plan though.

If it is wi-fi only, then no data plan will work. However, if you have the ability to create a hot-spot on your phone, then you don't need a data plan, as you can simply utilize the wi-fi to connect to your phone instead. This is probably the most efficient way to to use your wi-fi when you're not in a trusted place.

I'm unsure, mine has a sim card for service but u may be able to just have phone and text service without a data plan depending on who's offering the plan.

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.

It is not considered a smart phone - no data plan required. It is only good for texting and calling. The web browser is terrible and slow.

I have been using this phone for years with AT&T.; Yes, they will add a data plan as soon as it has a SIM card and turned on. However, I was able to explain that I had no use for a data plan and that I was just trying the phone out (which I was). I just neglected to ever add a data plan back. I can use wifi (but almost never do). The down side is that without a data plan you cannot send or receive attachments to text messages OR receive 'group' text messages (which is a good thing to me)

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.
