Yes, it does. You do not have to have a data plan with this phone either. I used it for over two months. The reception was pretty bad though. Everyone I talked to complained of background noise.

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.

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.

I believe you do. Most of these features are included in your phone package already. Call your phone company to get the straight scoop on it. /Erik

No. You will have to purchase a Sim card and data plan from your cell phone provider. This will be in addition to your cell phone plan even if you have unlimited data.

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.

Verizon has not required a data plan with my enV3 phone, however the first clerk that I talked to was sure that I would need one. I've had this phone for over 3 years, no data plan. Good Luck!

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, 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 this phone does not require any data plan. I have used the phone on a 25 a month month rate plan by pay as you go.

Because this says "VERIZON ONLY," this phone needs a data package. I purchased it because it showed up as a basic phone when I searched through Amazon. But according to Verizon this is a smartphone and a data package is required. I will be returning this phone tomorrow.

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.

I doubt it, honestly. I just got my Storm from verizon, and the rep told me that all of their smartphones are required to have a data plan. I doubt they would program the phone for you without the data plan.

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.

The phone and a charger is all that came in the box, other than an instruction manual. We returned it, because, despite the assurances of our phone provider (Verizon) that it would work on our plan without a data plan (stand-alone), it did not.

Yes I bought this phone and just added it online to my Verizon account. No data plan necessary. For the price the phone does the job.
