I am switching to a basic plan with AT&T so I have to be sure tha this "is not" a smartphone. Can someone confirm please before I order?

Only the Carriers can decide whether they claim a phone to be a smart phone or not.We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure if they require a data plan for this model phone or not.

This is absolutely NOT a smart phone - I have a basic plan and this phone functions very well for me. I've had one for several years and it is perfect for my needs. Hope you like it if you decide to make the purchase.

Hey Tony, ATT has data plans for all smartphones. However I bought this phone to send it overseas.

Yes it is basic and not classed as a smart phone, although u can access facebook and internet very well using this phone.

O. Gaynor, you can use this phone on AT&T; without a data plan. I am sure several folks do it. I use it, but with teh media net plan, not a smartphone data plan. I am 100% sure you can use this phone without any kind of data plan. For its price, it's a very solid smartphone.

The phone is not unlocked. Unlocked phones will work on any cell network: Sprint, Verizon, AT&T. It is however contract free meaning if you have a current at&t contract this phone will work with your at&t sim card. If you are downgrading from a smart phone that has a smaller sim you will need to go into the AT&T store to get the standard SIM to fit the phone. Fear not of alerting at&t, this is not an unusual occurrence as sim cards typically wear out over time and most at&ts will replace without charge. Regarding the internet - if your current plan has a data package the phone will be able to connect to the mobile web browser using 3G or the fastest AT&T data connection available in your area. You do however have to pay an additional fee to download apps for GPS, email, advanced voicemail etc in addition you are only able to purchase them through the AT&T app store which has a relativity small selection and in my opinion largely over priced. Hope this answers your questions. All in all a solid AT&T phone in terms of call quality and signal

Flagship phones like this don't vary from providers. Only their programming to work with the different networks is different. The new S4 active would be different, but I think that is only on AT&T network at the moment.

Yes it is, that's what I have. Just drop in you sim, charge the phone up and connect to AT&T and you are ready to go. I must say though that I saw a lot of charges start to appear as if out of nowhere. No nig charges but small charges usually in the 1 to 2 dollar range. I would pick up my phone to make a call, swipe it on and there would be a message "The last transaction cost $x.xx." The thing was that I hadn't used the phone since my last call and I had already seen the msg about how much that call had cost me. I ended up putting my sim back in my Samsung dumb phone. However that isn't a problem with the phone. The phone worked great, good quality sound, beautiful display, easy to use and set up. All of those small unknown charges came from AT&T. I'm thinking about when my minutes run out of finding a better pay as you go service. I hope it's something compatible with my sim and the 917

NO, NO, This is only a consumer cellular product. It bootleg's off of a AT&T; network per private contract. But the phone is simple to use and very reliable.

Yes, this is a smartphone. It has internet capability, and runs Android based apps. Note though that this phone is based for AT&T; "gophone" operation.

No, this is not a smartphone. It is acceptable as a basic phone to be used on basic (not smartphone) rates, at least on Verizon.

It's neither. It, or at least mine is not a phone. I don't know if there is a version that is also a phone.

I'm also interested in purchasing this phone however i spoke to AT&T; they said if I use a SIM which does not have data plan, they will automatically start charging me with the data plan since this is a smart phone:(

Idk when I got this time it was lock they send wrong item so I never did the plan but it is not a smartphone so AT&T; should not charge u

I just recently purchased this phone from Amazon and am on AT&T. So far I've been using the phone for a month and it hasn't detected it as a smartphone only because its not in their system, so no $30 data plan. I think this phone should be fine without the data plan unless you call up AT&T and tell them your phone is a smartphone. However, I also spoke with an AT&T representative and he said all smartphones, AT&T branded or unlocked, will be charged the $30/month data plan regardless.

This is a Verizon feature phone that uses CDMA only, that's correct. Of course, you can also change your plan so you can use a smartphone instead if you would prefer. You would need to buy that phone off-contract as well, though.
