will it require a data plan with AT&amp;T?

I used the pay as you go 10 cents per minute plan. I did not register it as a 'smart' phone since I did not want data. I already had a sim card for the plan and simply transferred the card into this phone.

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.

Yes I bought this phone and just added it online to my Verizon account. No data plan necessary. For the price the phone does the job.

Whether or not you'll need a data plan to use this phone to its full potential is up to your Carrier.We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure with them.

Yes, will even work without data plan but your features will be limited. ATT GO Phone plans seem fine but go with the monthly 46 dollar cell and data plan. Phone works one minute after inserting sim onto tray . Be sure to try all the menu items to see that they work. If you want pre paid fine. Do it on auto renewal or they will send you a text to remind you to pay for the next month. I have used basic SIM cards on many smart phones and it works, it just limits you.

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

Hey Tony, ATT has data plans for all smartphones. However I bought this phone to send it overseas.

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

No. You will have to purchase a Sim card and data plan from your cell phone provider. This will be in addition to your cell phone plan even if you have unlimited data.

My plan is data only. I think AT&T; will try to change it to data only plan if you put phone SIM in it.

This phone was for my mom and she already had an AT&T; account. She isn't the best with technology so she only uses WiFi at home without any data plans. The phone still works perfectly well without a data plan. Normally when you get a new smartphone from an AT&T; store they HAVE you get a data plan but when it comes to just switching phones with a you don't exactly have to get a data plan since you already have a pre-existing account. That's from what I see from how she uses it.

YES it will. However you will need to configure the data settings so that mobile internet will work due to settings are default to At&t. Straight Talk has the correct settings that you will need on their website.

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.

Yes you can, thats what I had did. However, AT&T; is still going to automatically add a data plan to your account after the phone has been used for more than a day. With all AT&T; smartphones(which this phone is), it is required to have a data plan. Even if you only planned on using this as a basic talk and text only. They are still going to charge you for data plan, roughly about 30 dollars a month. But in my case it is now 20 dollars plus tax a month

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card
