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.

Nope. I've had mine for 2 years and my hubby has had his for a year and neither of us have a data plan. You can access the internet from the phone if you have one, but if you don't get one, you can just use it for calls and texts.

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!

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, 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.

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.

It does not require a data plan. We have the phone on our family plan, with talk and unlimited texting.

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.

A data plan is not needed, phone works great with just text and voice 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.

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.

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!!

No data plan required and if it is a Verizon phone it will be fine. You can even change your service over yourself on Verizon website and not have to wait for a tech person to help you.
