If you want 4g lte data with it then yes but it can also use wifi so no you don't have to have a verizon account

No Verizon plan. I suspect most users do not have the plan. Just use it as a web surfer.

No, the xyboard has wifi as well. It would work just fine without Verizon service. Just connect to Wi-Fi at home or wherever.

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

Yes, you can activate it to your account. This model does require a data plan. Verizon may charge and activation fee, I'm not sure. Ususally you can call in to activate a phone but I'm not sure if they would still charge or not.Thank you for your interest,ClaytonMobilekarma

Nope no contract required! That is why I bought it. I took it to my local Verizon dealer and they set it up for me and transferred my existing phone numbers to my new phone. I paid a little nominal service fee to do that, but it is sure nice to have no contract or be locked in for two years. If you have more questions let me know.

No data plan is required for this model, however, be certain that Verizon does not add a data plan when you activate the phone

No - you have to create an account with Verizon and from there you have choices from a "pay as go" or an auto-billed monthly cycle.

No, I don't believe that you can. Verizon uses a 4G SIM for their prepaid plans. I would contact them directly to confirm. Thanks.

If the phone is unlocked then no it does not have to have an AT&T; plan. I have two Bursts that are unlocked and I have Straight Talk plans. You will need a SIM card from your provider which you will have to install in the phone. Easy to do. There is also some set up your provider will tell you how to do. One annoying thing is that the phone is branded for AT&T; therefore there are AT&T; apps on the phone that you cannot remove.

It needs a data plan, but you don't need a contract to get it in service. Very quirky though. If you have other choices, go with another phone. Tends to go off line a lot. and locks up to the point where you have to take the battery out to reset.

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

This is just the phone. You have to set up an account with Verizon and you pick whatever plan u want

mine was for a Verizon contract plan, I think I saw that they now offer a prepay plan. I love my little phone, it tough and works great.

If it's unlocked like it says then you don't have to have a plan. You can get a plan if you want or pay-as-you-go or whatever else you fancy .............

Yes, depending on the carrier. My plan was to use the phone with PagePlus service but they could not activate it with Verizon because of a outstanding bill on the phone when I bought.

Yes' you sure can. I use mine through Page Plus which uses the Verizzon network but is tons cheaper with no contract.dave

Yes you can add it to your Verizon plan. It has the Verizon logo on it and has the Verizon program running in it.

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.
