I'm not sure--I wanted to get a non-Verizon plan (Page Plus), but you can only put Verizon Plans on it. So, I returned the phone (I thought it was unlocked, but it was not).

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

Best to have your service provider do it. We have Verizon and have an online account. The info you need us under the battery

With your cell (att,t-mobile...etc) provider. Need to use GSM. And put a simm card in it. Used anywhere you get service. Don't get over your data limit.

I use ATT pre-paid, 65 dollar a month plan for smart phones. Works great with this phone!

It depends on what you want to do with it. It is unlocked so you should have a choice with your carrier. I have Consumer Cellular, so I can choose. I am pretty sure it is possible to use only voice and text messaging, for example.

I'm not aware of Sprint's plans. You can buy this phone however and use it with Freedompop which gives you free phone, text and data (500MB Free/mo) which is what I did.

Check with the pay-as-you go and go-phone sections of AT&T's website. They are often changing the structures of their plans. Also there are options not listed when trying to order a package online. I use a $25 a month plan with no DATA, and use my home network for DATA related smartphone features. You can call and ask customer service about all available options.

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

Yes, I know about the dumbphone plan. I have an Android phone with the 5gig plan and am just looking at the 808. Because of that, I'm not on the $15 plan.Can you get the $15 unlimited plan today? Or is it some grandfathered in type of situation?

I'm not sure about the Verizon, you can go on straight talk website and look up information on using different phones with for straight talk. and yes you can use it as the $45 unlimited plan that is what me and my whole family are doing. Its a really good company, straight talk is. and the website helps alot with questions on using different phones. this phone is AT&T; though

It depends on your carrier. Some may call it a smart phone and require a data plan, others may let you use a basic talk & text plan. I use PagePlus with a basic prepaid account for talk & text and rely on free wifi when I'm out for internet access. (Most of the supermarkets, malls, etc... seem to offer free wifi)

With wi-fi accessibility, do you need to have a provider (AT&T or T-Mobile) data plan in place (to access something like myspace or other)? What is the least expensive way to go, if you have any idea? I am in NY and do not travel much, but my child is spoiled by the sidekick and we had to cut the web, leaving texting open. It doesn't state it has AIM either. It seems AT&T is better in the no-choice game, but since we have a family network already on T-Mobile and unlimited texting and free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calls, I am not sure there is a savings. Please...its on sale today :)

You can use it on a normal post-paid shared data-only plan as well, if you like. Either way, get your SIM from Verizon.There's also been a firmware update in the last few months to support the newer Verizon LTE technologies (what's now branded as "XLTE," I believe). In some cases this should get you better or faster performance - partly due to mitigating network congestion.

You can just buy it and swap it out for a phone on your line. I purchased mine and replaced my droid the day I recieved it with no change to my plan and no upgrade availible.

Yes, to use the phone, you will need a provider. You can use ATT or Consumer Cellular. Others may also work. The phone is set up for ATT so might work best with them. You would have to go on-line to find instructions on how to use the features on the phone since mine ( and I got 4) did not come with any. Hope this helps.
