Data PLan I have a family contract with At&T with no data plan currently. Does this phone require you to get a data plan?

I currently update to the HTC Eris, and when I activated the phone I was notified that I had to purchase the basic data $30.00 pkg.

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.

I am not sure about AT&T Postpaid plan. I do have an AT&T Family plan which includes phone and texting but no picture transmission and absolutely no data plan. This phone works great on it. If you check my review, you will see this is a replacement phone for one that I lost which was exactly like it. The first phone I bought through our local AT&T store when we were renewing our family contract. They actually suggested this phone, knowing that all I wanted to do was text and make "old-fashioned" phone calls with no data plan. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

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'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.

No data plan is required by Verizon. Verizon is my carrier. I signed up to pay an extra five bucks a month over the cell phone service so I could send up to several hundred texts a month, but no data plan, unless you were going to use this phone to browse the internet or something like that, but I would not advise that.

you don't have to have a data plan with this phone. I don't have a data plan because of the cost. You can access wifi spots though.

I don't use a data plan but I do know that I can accidently go on the internet so it must work. I get charged by Att when I do.

No data plan is required for this model, however, be certain that Verizon does not add a data plan when you activate the phone

The phone itself does not require a data plan but your carrier may specify otherwise. I have the same phone for both my kids. We are all on AT&T; network. The phones work great.

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 data needed. I had to call the carrier to set up the phone. If I tried signing it up online, it asked for a data plan.

Yes this phone is no contract.... You can use pay as you go as long it is with At&t :-)

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.

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

I believe it does require a data plan. I do know you can only activate the phone on a verizon contract so havibg to commit a data plan isnt that hard to believe.

It will operate without a data plan. However the carriers will detect you using the data and attempt to charge you. It's a fantastic phone and will work anywhere
