I was at a local electronics store &amp; their rep said since this is unlocked all I need is a SIM card and I don't need a data plan. Is that right?

If it is a prepaid SIM with a set amount of data on it already then yes. Otherwise no you will need a SIM and a data plan. Unlocked just means you can use a SIM from any carrier and the device itself is not locked to just one carrier (i.e. AT&T, T-Mobile, etc).

The phone and a charger is all that came in the box, other than an instruction manual. We returned it, because, despite the assurances of our phone provider (Verizon) that it would work on our plan without a data plan (stand-alone), it did not.

No data plan required and if it is a Verizon phone it will be fine. You can even change your service over yourself on Verizon website and not have to wait for a tech person to help you.

Verizon rep told me that I don't need a data plan for it. I'm replacing a phone without a data plan.Perhaps other people are replacing phones that were under contract with a data plan, so they would still have to keep the plan until their obligation is over?

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

No this phone does not require any data plan. I have used the phone on a 25 a month month rate plan by pay as you go.

No a SIM Card is not included, a SIM Card you would get it from your Carrier by going to one of they're store fronts.

I didn't need to. I have a AT&T account (long term customer) and took it to my local store; they put a Sim Card in it and I was ready to go. Works great. I git a great deal. Very clean phone had 64GB of memory for very reasonable proce.

As long as it's an unlocked model all you need is a sim card and a cell phone contract

When I had this phone in the US, through a contract with Cricket, I was paying for data. You can probably use it without a data plan, but you'll have to be careful to not use the internet features of the phone.

No data plan is required and you can use regular Wifi for internet access. I'd reccommend the Fusion 2 that they have now, it's basically the same phone, but with more internal memory.

You don't have to sign up for (in this case purchase) a data plan with this phone and it will still work on wifi. But you won't have any access to data when you aren't in wifi range.

It is without plan, you need to activate it online. You pay for their option online and then associate it with this simcard.

Yes I bought this phone and just added it online to my Verizon account. No data plan necessary. For the price the phone does the job.
