No, you don't have to have a data plan for this phone. We are using it as spare phone abroad with multiple providers. However, the charges will apply, when you use data though.

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.

No the only thing you will really need then is the SD card to hold enough data files for music, and it wont be able to do any net surfing without a internet data plan and sim card for the service.

You mean data traffic / internet connection? well, depends on your needs... it does NOT require, but it is a smartphone and not providing network kills a good portion of what smartphones offers best. Anyway not required.

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.

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.

You don't need a data plan. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you wanted to use the internet anyways; the access is not good for web surfing. Great for a basic text and talk plan though.

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon. However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

No a data plan is not required. However, if you are buying this phone to use with an existing phone plan that you have with AT&T in order to avoid a data charge for a new smartphone through AT&T, and you wanting to switch sim cards between the phones. AT&T will *happily* add a data charge to this phone. Best bet is to cancel the service you have (if you are out of you contracted obligation) and use the sim that comes with the phone and follow the setup instructions that also come with the phone.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the Internet you can use any wifi available. If you are wanting Internet all the time, you might want to look into getting a hotspot which will require a data plan. I hope this information helps!!
