It's unlocked, you can put in any SIM card. I bought it to replace a dead phone without committing to extend my contract by buying a new phone from ATT directly. You can also walk in to t-mobile and use it with a new account or buy a European SIM card at a post office or store in Europe and get a local number.

No it does not, but is limited to text and phone calls only then. Would not recommend Nokia anymore. Software support is nil and the phone is buggy at times. Also the newer lumia's are buggy and the included navigation does not work anymore. Do some research before buying! Only phone calls and text, take regular phone with physical keypad, then a Nokia will work. When it comes to Multimedia, go iPhone (skip samsung as well) with no hassle anymore or very very little only.

Whether or not you'll require a data plan is determined by your Carrier. We recommend contacting you Carrier and they'll be able to let you know whether or not you'll need one.

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.

This is not considered a Smart Phone, as it does not run a major operating system, like Apple, Android, or Windows. It does have a lot of nice features though.I use it on Verizon, and to the best of my knowledge, there is no Data Plan. Good luck on your quest.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the Internet you can use any wifi available. If you are wanting Internet all the time, you might want to look into getting a hotspot which will require a data plan. I hope this information helps!!

Yes, this is a "basic phone". I use it with Verizon. I do not have a data plan. It will do media type things but that cost extra, as you know.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

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.

All I can tell you is it is listed as a "verizon" wireless phone. To me that says it is configured for the verizon network. Whether it works without a data plan, I have no idea. I bought mine to replace a RAZR I'd had since 2008.

This phone only works with T mobile so you must have a T mobile service plan. I believe all of their current plans include some data. You can use T mobile's WiFi calling and data feature but you still have to purchase a T mobile plan.

No. One of the decent phones left that has dialogue style texts but doesn't have data plan. It can but my daughter only needs to text.

Verizon has not required a data plan with my enV3 phone, however the first clerk that I talked to was sure that I would need one. I've had this phone for over 3 years, no data plan. Good Luck!

Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.

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
