Do you need a data plan for this phone?

No you don't have to have a Data Plan and it's the reason I bought this phone.

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.

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

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.

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.

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

Yes, this phone requires a data package through any provider. Net10 provides unlimited talk/text/data for low monthly plans.

I'm unsure, mine has a sim card for service but u may be able to just have phone and text service without a data plan depending on who's offering the plan.

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.

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.

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.

It is not considered a smart phone - no data plan required. It is only good for texting and calling. The web browser is terrible and slow.

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon. However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

No data plan required. We gave our daughter this phone because she destroyed everything else. 1 year and still working. We have the phone on a family unlimited text plan, but that is all. No data plan.

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.
