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.

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T; has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

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.

@J. Qui, it does work without data plan. I have T-Mobile, so can't speak for ATT:Go under settings -> phone -> app. settings -> positioning -> positioning methods and turn off all but 'Integrated GPS'. That way there is no worry it will ever use a network.

Answer to the question "Can this be used without a data plan": Yes. I used it for two years with no data plans. It comes with a wifi to allow you connecting to the internet when wifi is available.

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.

It depends on your service plan. I use the phone for texting without a problem and don't have a data plan on my phone Contract

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

We apologize for the delay in responding. No this phone definitely does not require a data plan. I have it myself so I know for sure. Thank you for your interest.Clayton Recellulartoo

thank you! I got this phone for my sons for Christmas. I don't plan on adding a data plan to their account, but there is wifi available everywhere they go: home, school, grandma's, friends', etc. Let me clarify something though: If there is no wifi available, will they still be able to talk and text? (that is all they need it for outside of wifi)

I loved this phone, but I never had data on it. I believe that you can connect to the internet, although I am not sure what the cost of doing so would be. I finally got a smart phone, but it is costly to have internet. Hope this helped.

I purchased 3 of these phones based solely on the fact they do not require an additional data plan. THAT IS WRONG!! Verizon states the data plan is not optional and I wasted time and lots of money on these!!! BEWARE!!!

I have this phone with ATT and -no data-. That's why I like it. They don't charge for data because it's not a smart phone and very limited in what it can do. (I can surf the internet, which is about all I need in addition to text and calling.)

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