We had to....wantes a phone as close to a smart phone as possible so chose this. It isn't bad just rhe key bad takes some getting used to. You may be able to get a Verizon pay as you go sim card though !!

No. You have to make sure that you call Verizon when you activate your phone and tell them you do not want a DATA plan on it. Be sure to be very specific and tell them more than once.

This device will work with your LG phone and yes you will have to get a Data SIM card. As far as paying more I'm not sure since you have a prepaid phone, I had to pay an extra 20 dollars with my existing data plan. You might want to look at Verizon's pay as you go broadband plans.

No, a data package is not required, i just called Verizon and gave them the code on the plate in the battery compartment and Verizon activates that phone w/ the number you provide. It was simpler than i thought! This is the BEST phone i have ever had! and i hate cell phones!

I do honestly do not think so. I never had an increase in my bill. I didnt need a data package either. You just cant go on the web. I only needed it for calls and text messages. It is a great BASIC phone and serves a purpose with out a data package.

Yes, it is a pay as you go process just like any service offered by one of the major carriers. I have a monthly plan with ATT. The cost is dependent on the carrier, their data plans and your needs.

You will need to contact Verizon wireless to purchase a data plan for the device. They are around $10.00 per month

Yes you need a subscription in order for it to upload the data. The app on the phone will auto sign in so you can't just link it to the phone and forget about the subscription. If you need a referral for the discount let me know.

Yes, but if you want to use the web or send pictures, you must buy a data plan

I believe it's free, although sometimes it will work through your phone, so yes if use your phone you will need a data plan.

Both. With Verizon you can use it with or w/out a data contract. I use it without.

No only Verizon. I had metro and got this instead. I use the text app and I pay 30 a month

No, that's incorrect. The data plan is an entirely separate charge from the calling (i.e., minutes) plan.

If purchased directly from Verizon, it probably will be included. If from Amazon, probably not. But you can get a sim card from Verizon for free if you take it to them. With that in mind, I would recommend that you also look at a 4G hotspot. The Pantech unit gave me a lot of trouble...chronically connecting, and then disconnecting. I took it back to Verizon, and they sold me on a 4G jetpack hotspot. This is much more useful, and has been trouble free. They had a special on that gave a rebate on it. You might consider that instead of the Pantech. I would not purchase another at this point.

As I understand due to a recent visit to my local Verizon store (12/15/06), you will need to subscribe to at least the $79.99 phone plan as well as the $40 EVDO data plan.That turned me off from the MotorolaQ Phone or any PDA Phone. I really wish Verizon would offer a slower data plan for $20. I just need to fetch email and remotely sync my calendar, not surf the Internet. Wireless DSL is overkill for most people.

No. However if you have no plan, you will be charged for the amount of data used. So, although there's no requirement, you probably want a plan.

Yes , you must buy a SIMM data card and contract a monthly plan with the SIMM data card provider.

Yes it does. (with AT&T anyway). It is a smartphone, so most carriers will require a data plan.
