You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card

Yes. The way around this is to go to consumercellular.com and get one of their plans. They re-sell att bandwidth, there is no contract and you don't need to buy a data plan.

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.

You can use a sim card. So if your carrier's is a sim card carrier you can use to get Internet.

Yes, you can use it as a ipod, meaning using it with wifi without having at&t service.

Yes, You can. Right now I also don't need a sim card and didn't get one. So I use it only with Wi-Fi without any problems

Hi, I answered this a couple moments ago but inadvertently deleted my answer. Maybe you received it before that. If not, here goes again. Yes, the device may be used as a Wi-Fi Internet device without a cellular account. I'm not sure if you mean will it function as a stand-alone Internet device, as any other computing device, and the answer is yes, it will. If you mean will it function as a telephone without a cellular account, again the answer is yes. To do this, specialized software applications are necessary. In my experience, and I have this on my phone - it works great - the best is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talkatone.android. It is free on the Google Play Store, all that is needed is a Google account. The application is free, as are certain number of calls per month. additional credits are very cheap (much, much, much less than cellular fees). With it, you will be able to make calls within range of any Wi-Fi connection, i.e., home routers, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc. The HTC EVO 4G LTE is a super device, big, high resolution screen, powerful processor, lots of memory. I (Droid Redux) have several LTEs for sale on Amazon at the moment, most in the Refurbished category. They are beautiful cosmetically, scratch free, and tested 100% operational. If you do buy one of these devices, I hope you will look at mine while deciding. Regards, Bruce (Droid Redux)

no, there's no email or data with it :/ blu phone does make some great cheap devices but I had problems with this one not receiving texts as well so I wouldn't recommend this model except as a burner 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'm unsure, mine has a sim card for service but u may be able to just have phone and text service without a data plan depending on who's offering the plan.

This is not a smart phone. However, you can access some of the internet through data only, no Wi-Fi

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

NO...You do NOT need data for this phone. It can be disabled in the options. I called AT

No, you cannot even have the phone activated without data or a data package, so it's basically worthless to purchase without getting data.

yes. As a basic cell phone, and for calendar, contacts and other info. Cannot be used with wifi withnout a data plan.

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.

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.
