NO ONE will have any data with any carrier on this phone. The servers supporting data on the Sidekick line of phones was shut down last year. It says so in the headline description of the phone.

I have straight talk (an at&t; company) and it gets service just fine. H+ speed (4G), data and Internet work great!

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.

I'm in AT&T. I've had this phone about 6 weeks. No data plan & no charges on my billing - but you can only access internet based functions when in a wifi zone. That's just fine with me.

I don't think so. I only use it for calling and texting and not the internet, but we've had the plan for a while. Might be worth a quick call to AT&T; to see what is available.

I have been using this phone for years with AT&T.; Yes, they will add a data plan as soon as it has a SIM card and turned on. However, I was able to explain that I had no use for a data plan and that I was just trying the phone out (which I was). I just neglected to ever add a data plan back. I can use wifi (but almost never do). The down side is that without a data plan you cannot send or receive attachments to text messages OR receive 'group' text messages (which is a good thing to me)

No. This phone has AT&T; branding and does not allow T-Mobile data service; I am returning

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

Yes you can, thats what I had did. However, AT&T; is still going to automatically add a data plan to your account after the phone has been used for more than a day. With all AT&T; smartphones(which this phone is), it is required to have a data plan. Even if you only planned on using this as a basic talk and text only. They are still going to charge you for data plan, roughly about 30 dollars a month. But in my case it is now 20 dollars plus tax a month

O. Gaynor, you can use this phone on AT&T; without a data plan. I am sure several folks do it. I use it, but with teh media net plan, not a smartphone data plan. I am 100% sure you can use this phone without any kind of data plan. For its price, it's a very solid smartphone.

Thanks S.Wanker, Im sure your boss at AT&T; will be quite pleased with your answer. Unfortunatley the only people your helping by that lame post is the AT&T; shareholders. If you dont like the data package make some calls and find someone in charge who can help you, if you get no satisfaction cancel your card so that you cant be charged and than cancel your data package. ;)

Based on my knowledge only. I would have to say NO. Because phone is not an "unlocked" unit. Therefore only operates with AT and T service provider.

Att will no add a data plan to this phone. One drawback is that it has no wifi.
