Yes, it will work with a plain Att sim card for plain old talking and texting. No data plan required! That is why I also bought it; for talking and easy texting.

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.

It depends on what functionality you need. It is a complete bear to get working with MMS (picture or video text messaging) and requires some very technical knowledge in order to get running properly. Even then, it's iffy at best. If all you need is regular SMS (text only) and phone calls, it will work with AT&T; out of the box. I would honestly recommend looking at another phone, though - the unit I got ended up having some issues with randomly resetting itself and locking up.

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.

Depends on your carrier, but the phone will work without a data plan. Just remember, the phone has bugs or might be mine had some, so i returned it for a nexus one at that time. This was like 4 years ago.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

It is not a prepaid phone. You must have a wireless plan that will work with this phone to use it. However, it is just a basic phone and not a smart phone so no data plan is needed.

If you have a sim card to insert, yes, it should work as a basic phone without Data.

That's how it worked for me. Only I have a PureTalk card, but it does connect to the AT@T network. Your mileage may very. I have the BIG sim card.

no-this phone does not need a data plan. Don't let them tell you that it does. I activated 2 of them without it.

I do not have an AT&T; phone. I went to AT&T; store and bought a SIM card for $9.99 for 1000 texts. It is text only. or 19.99 for unlimited text. It is working without any problems.

No you do not need a data plan to use this phone. I have AT&T; text & talk only and was able to add it to my plan. It is capable of data if you were to upgrade your plan to data but again not required.

Hello, Yes this phone will work on your current plan & contract without a data plan.

You can put your at&t; sum card in this phone and it will work without having to renew your contract or activation fees. All other data plans and charges are separate and depend on your plan.

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.

Hi Karen, I use this phone because it does not have data capabilities. I have ATT and do not pay data charges on this phone. Darrell
