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.

Hi, well, I can't consider like a smart phone. But it's really a good phone for normal customer, you can surf the web, Facebook, twitter, whatsapp. And its fast in web browsing. I recommend you in this case. I hope this could be helpful.

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

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.

I too would like to know this. If it's not unlocked then we are still stuck with AT&T;, so what is the point of paying full price for the phone?

It's a smartphone (be sure to check the AT&T; plans for data charge fees; we use it only for text&talk;).

I'm pretty sure you need a GSM phone, which means it's either AT&T; or T-Mobile. For that reason, I'll have to say no.

I am not a super techy. When I purchased this, I thought that it would work on it's own without AT&T;, Verizon, Virgin, etc. I have been informed that that is not the case and a network connection would cause me a new expense of $35 a month. Not where I want to go with retirement in view.

Yes. Keep in mind that if you use text messaging you could incur additional charges. Before we left AT&T; I paid a few bucks for 100 text messages each month. We had to pay additional for my wife's phone to have text as well - even though we were on a family plan. If you use other features that require data you could incur still additional charges.

The phone I received is not an AT&T; unlocked phone. It doesn't not have any of the AT&T; bloat software, which is great. I am using this phone on the T-Mobile network, at work I have a 4G Data connection and at home it utilizes EDGE.

No, this is not a smart phone. Technically it is called a 'feature phone'. It has a couple of limited apps provided by AT&T; but they are more expensive to use than if you just got a real smart phone.

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

It is not a smart phone, not an android phone. It doesn't have wifi though, it is unlocked, so you can basically use it with whatever carrier you want including verizon

This is strictly Net10, it's nothing to do with AT&T;, it's actually a Tracphone with different types of contract. If you want AT&T; will need to SAY it's theirs. I have one of these so don't be fooled.

No, this is not a smartphone. It is acceptable as a basic phone to be used on basic (not smartphone) rates, at least on Verizon.

Other providers do not, so I do not think AT&T; should consider it a smart phone.

Yes. That's not a problem. They will include a monthly data fee, if it is not part of your plan already, (for updates) but not enough to use the internet regularly.

Unfortunately all of these companies that have a prepaid plan make you purchase phones through them specifically AT&T; as of June is letting people bring any phone to them that is unlocked and can become a go phone this specific phone has AT&T; logo on it however I didn't know that when I purchased it I'm happy with the service through AT&T; however with their go phone service I pay a flat rate each month no contract

Technically yes but I would consider a newer device. This is a much older device with an older OS, and a much slower processor. Its ATT support is also only on 3G networks and even that is limited to specific bands. Overall, you will be paying for a significantly gimped device given what is in the market.
