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

Sorry Siffert but that isn't true. I have an ATT Fusion (posted up a review on there also) Which all I did was add a 100$ card to it. I chose the option to not have a data package. I use wifi @ home and use grooveip to make/receive free callsIm not sure if this phone is "banned" from doing the same thing but the fusion 100% works. I have 2 of them actually with this same setup

No, you do not need a data plan to use the LG Prime. The phone is classified as a "Feature Phone". You will not be able to use the included IM/Email features, but everything else will work just fine. I've been using it for over a week now without any data plan. I love it!

No, you don't have to have a data plan for this phone. We are using it as spare phone abroad with multiple providers. However, the charges will apply, when you use data though.

no, its not a smart phone, it is not data-ready (no data-package required). But it is text-ready and there are various text packages available.

No Eric, you don't need a internet package. When you go online or call the net.com you can see what packages they offer with using this phone. All there packages include internet services. I get the package that has unlimited everything, talk, text and internet. I love this phone and the Net 10 packages. No Contacts. Love it.

I do not know because I never used it. The reason I bought this phone is because it has no camera or recorder of any type, which means that I can keep it with me during work. I do not need a DATA Package to use it. It is just a really good, basic phone. This is the third one that I bought, the second one through this vendor. They keep getting stolen.

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.

data plan is only required if you phone with subsidy. The phone will connect to wifi without a data plan

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

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

No a data plan is not required. However, if you are buying this phone to use with an existing phone plan that you have with AT&T in order to avoid a data charge for a new smartphone through AT&T, and you wanting to switch sim cards between the phones. AT&T will *happily* add a data charge to this phone. Best bet is to cancel the service you have (if you are out of you contracted obligation) and use the sim that comes with the phone and follow the setup instructions that also come with the phone.

It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.

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.

No i dont believe so. I have this phone and i don't have a data plan with it

You don't need a data plan. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you wanted to use the internet anyways; the access is not good for web surfing. Great for a basic text and talk plan though.
