Sorry, but I don't know because I bought it just to keep all my information in about meds, check ups due and things of that nature. I have an I-Phone for calling and texting.

Yes, you don't have to have a data plan. I got it for my son it's $50. For unlimited talk, text, internet, GPS... Etc. but you can just with unlimited talk an text for $40..... Those plans even go cheaper then that. Hope I helped you out.

I bought this phone to replace my daughters bad LG Cosmos Touch on our Verizon "NATIONWIDE TLK&TXT; SHARE 700 ". This is not a data plan . I attempted to activate it through the Verizon Wireless website and did not see an option to activate without a data plan. So instead I called in the activation and the rep. was able to activate it without a data plan. No changes were made to my plan. It's my belief that the web site is set up to (mis)lead you into a data plan.

I signed mine up with Metro PCS which is a prepaid service with no contract. I have everything (talk, text and data) unlimited for $55 per month.

it's no contract, old sport... i recently bought it thats why i know... also this phone is a piece of crap dont buy it. You see the reason i say that, old sport, is because the touch screen isnt very responsive after a while of use. Glad to help you, old sport.

Just found out from T mobile-The 9.99 deal is for existing customers, and it requires 2 year contract. Sort of defeat the purpose of buying an unlock phone.

Yes! Love the phone. And I'm with T-Mobile on the $30/mo pre-pay plan (no taxes or fees added): unlimited texting, 5 GB data, and 100 mins. You have to call them to get this deal. No matter what plan you get you will need to get the SIM Starter Kit $10, but when I called them they waived the $10 for me. Enjoy your phone!

You can use it just as a wifi device. It's a pay-as-you-go phone so there is no contract. If you wanted to use it as a phone you would just activate it through Virgin Mobile and then choose a plan that fits you ($35 = 300 minutes/unlimited data + messaging, $45 = 1200 minutes/unlimited data + messaging and $55 = unlimited everything). I used this with my wifi for a month before I switched from my old phone.

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.

I am using ATT and I don't have data plan, and the GPS works OK. The turn by turn service life time license is included in this edition so it is free for the life-time. Other editions may require you to purchase annual service license.

I do not understand the "new" world of cell phones, so I do not really understand your question. I have an expired Verizon contract that I continue to pay monthly. It is not a prepaid plan nor is it anything like their current options. I do not have a data plan.

No need for contract - it will accept any SIM. Please be aware that it does not have Wi-Fi (i could not connect it). My wife use the phone for foreign SIMs when she travel to Europe and far east.

There is no contract. It will come with instructions on how to set it up. You set it up in by going to an ATT website and then following the instructions. You need to plug it in to the wall and then connect it to your dsl modem or other internet device. So, of course, you need to have internet connectivity at your residence or wherever you are setting this up. The ATT microcell then connects to the internet via this set-up procedure. Once it has done that, it will function in your house as a mini cell tower. It's not a signal booster, it functions exactly like a cell tower in your house. That's it. There's no contract or per-month cost. You just buy the unit.

Yes. It is a true "smart phone" and AFAIK no provider will connect it without a full data package. For a simple QWERTY slider for texting, I recommend either the Pantech Ease (GSM) or the LG Extravert (CDMA). Both can be purchased inexpensively and unlocked for use with any secondary market/contract-free carrier.
