does it require a data plan

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.

Yes but does not require payments for a data plan. I just use talk and text.

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 doesn't have to have internet connection although it is capable. My son's phone does not have a data plan but he is very careful to never use any data because it is very expensive without a plan. I also had to tell Verizon that we were not using a data plan with this phone.

Since I already had a Verizon data plan all I did was replace my old Palm Pre with this new one. I assume that YES you will need a data plan. Good luck.

It does not require any data plan. You can install SIM card and start to use it right away. You can choose any GSM provider here in US as well as in Europe. This is a reason to buy an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, we've sent it back to seller. It has very good design (it's a Sony(!), so you get a very good designed phone just by default). It was brand new, in the original box, but did not work at all, unfortunately again. May be it was just a Chinese grey copy, but it's only my guess.

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.

You do not have to buy a data plan. But give one of there stores a call and ask what kind of deal you get.Good luck to you, Patti

I would say yes. If you don't have a wi-fi connection or 3G you will need some type of data plan if you have a smart phone.

You don't need any data plan or internet connection to use its GPS function. I have one and I used it without any extra service or plan and as a side note the graphics are very good and it works flawlessly.

Whether or not you'll require a data plan is determined by your Carrier. We recommend contacting you Carrier and they'll be able to let you know whether or not you'll need one.

Yes. I bought this phone for my brother as a basic phone on my Verizon plan. It's been working great. It's a very nice simple phone with a colorful touch display. You will not need to purchase a data plan.

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.

Depends on your carrier, but the phone will work without a data plan. Just remember, the phone has bugs or might be mine had some, so i returned it for a nexus one at that time. This was like 4 years ago.
