yes the phone does have its own App store and you can Access the internet. or you can just use wifi.

As long as you have access to a place with wifi and you have the email address to set it up, no! You can turn off data..

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

Yes, to setup the account is better if you have internet, if not you may have to bypass the registration and once you connect to WiFi set it up.

Yes. Take it into your carrier to get a SIM card. Don't upgrade your plan if you have unlimited data.

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.

No data plan required. I have had two LG 8350 phones. Both had phone jacks that broke and could only be used with a headset.

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.

I was told it needed a data plan. I have not tried it otherwise. If you are not having a data plan, you probably do not want a smart phone, which is bigger.

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.

Since I already had a Verizon data plan all I did was replace my old Palm Pre with this new one. I assume that YES you will need a data plan. Good luck.

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

It will operate without a data plan. However the carriers will detect you using the data and attempt to charge you. It's a fantastic phone and will work anywhere

It is not a prepaid phone. You must have a wireless plan that will work with this phone to use it. However, it is just a basic phone and not a smart phone so no data plan is needed.

No you don"t. I have one and it does not require a data plan, if they start to charge you for one, you can cancel it and still be able to use the phone, but it is difficult to receive picture messages on.

Honestly I don't know. We already had a data plan. This was a replacement phone. I would advice that you call the carrier.

No. You will have to purchase a Sim card and data plan from your cell phone provider. This will be in addition to your cell phone plan even if you have unlimited data.
