This is not a smart phone. Smart phones are usually defined as a phone that has either apple operating system, android operating system, or windows operating system

Hey there. Great question. I see it consistently listed as a smartphone but I did have a customer complain once that it wasn't so I'm not really sure. Your best bet is to call Verizon and make sure. Thanks for your intrest and good luck!

I dont think is really a smart phone, but then I dont use a phone for internet, the phone my kids have are what I would think of as smart phones, I have very good luck with Brightside for years but only use for talk and text.

Hello, Yes this is considered a smart phone due to the android operating system on it.

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

This is absolutely not a smart phone. There aren't many flip phones in Japan that are smart phones. Most of their smart phones are touch screen phones like America's phones. (I came from Asia myself so I'm used to these phones.) But if AT&T; is trying to charge you data for it then I don't know what to do. I was honestly considering Net 10 for mine. I still haven't activated it yet. Hope I was a little helpful. ^_^

No this is not a smart phone. You can access the internet if you want but you do not have to sign up for a data plan with this phone. I think this is a great phone for those like myself who cannot afford the smart phone plans. I have had two of these now, and have recommended it to my husband.

This is absolutely NOT a smart phone - I have a basic plan and this phone functions very well for me. I've had one for several years and it is perfect for my needs. Hope you like it if you decide to make the purchase.

Personally, I don't consider it a smart phone. To me is just a basic phone to talk and text. It is pretty heavy duty.

this one is not. and if your looking for a smart phone which this one is, it was a let down given the other options out there. I used for two weeks and just bought another phone. internet and other features was a disapointment

JORDAN W. You should fix your answer this led me to believe it was wireless/bluetooth. I know now you must have used an otg cable but please specify not all people have an otg cable or androids with usb ports. Thanks. ( I bought this reading your review)

No, this is not a smart phone. :) Just regular old talk and text. It does have internet functionality, however, I've personally never used this feature, so I can't really tell you much about it.

I would bring the phone to the wireless carrier you are with. Since this is an unlocked phone they would need to setup your network . I had verizon and bought this phone to use on metro pcs they had to port the phone with verizon since I wanted to keep my same number. I hope this helped a little.

It can come with data, but my wife uses it only for phone calls and texting. So, we do not pay for it like a smart phone. We blocked the data on it and don't pay the extra $30, but you have to call your supplier. If you are looking for a "real" smart phone, I wouldn't recommend this one.

You can use it on WiFi. If you have a place that you can plug the phone into, and can link into wifi. then it should work wherever you have this. We have used it at my house, my offices, etc. Keep in mind it is an office phone so the size may not be as conducive to travel. You might be better using a softphone service with your Voip co that you use which integrates into your cell phone or computer for travel. Overall, I love this phone though & it works with my Plantronics Bluetooth headset so I am hands free

I am sorry for confusion. This works as a smart phone itself and does not sync with other phones.

no, it is not a smart phone. The phone itself was falling apart about a week after I got it...and I did not have the wits to send it back on time. I wish I could still get my money back and do feel very bad about not handling it right away. Not recommended!

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.

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.
