this doesn't need a data plan. It is a very simple phone. Just what I like!

I don't know if a data plan is required ... though clearly you could not access e-mail without it. It is very slow for internet, very slow ... but I use it for podcasts, internet radio, phone, and text. I have an AT&T; plan (USA) that allows me 500 minutes voice per month, unlimited data, and unlimited texts for $35 per month. That is a very good rate. You can only get that plan with an "unlocked" phone, like this one.

pretty sure, yes. I remember being told that even with the $50 "unlimited everything" plan that you still needed a separate data plan for this phone because its not technically a smart phone. But thats only if you want to access internet or use apps that do. If not, then no, it doesnt require one just for typical use. For very minor use, the $25 plan is perfect.

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.

You dont need data, you dont even have to have a data plan. Just use as phone and text, if you want data in the future you can buy a small amount for 5 or 10 dollars on one time basis as desired

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.

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

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.

No data plan is required by Verizon. Verizon is my carrier. I signed up to pay an extra five bucks a month over the cell phone service so I could send up to several hundred texts a month, but no data plan, unless you were going to use this phone to browse the internet or something like that, but I would not advise that.

It comes without a data plan and I purchased it to replace my phone that broke, but for which my plan still hadn't run its course until I could get an upgrade. It came with directions to fire it up on my pre-existing plan that I was replacing my broken phone from.

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.

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.

It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.

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.
