If I'm using in the USA with t-mobile, do I need to have a data plan?

don't really understand your question. If you are using t mobile, I assume you already have a sim card with a voice and/or data plan. If you only have a voice plan, then you could still use the phone but only to make calls or send text messages. All other features require a data plan ($10/month)

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.

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.

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.

Yes, you will have to select/buy a data plan through whoever you get your sim card from, e.g.,T-Mobile. You should also check the coverage map (e.g.,T-Mobile) for your area to see if it is suitable for you.

Yes, but you should call t-mobile and have your account transferred to the sim card that comes with the phone.

yes it will work with T-mobile in the US, however, you wont get 4g. rather you'll get 3g+ like HSDPA, HSPA+, EDGE, etc.

No it needs data plan. 30 more added to your plan. That's y I don't have it anymore. Now I have a iPhone 5 verizon but with tmobile service I only pay $50 and service is not bad. My iphone 5 with Verizon was $120 so I pay half in tmobile

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.

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.

If your using your wifi at home to be able to use the device, NOT USING IT AS A HOTSPOT, then no data plan should be needed. If your going to turn the mobile hot spot on the device on then yes you do need a data plan

Yes, I bought a T-Mobile internet & US calls chip in New York City last Summer. It was a 30 day plan and it worked just fine.P.S. I have the unlocked version of Acro S

No data plan required. We gave our daughter this phone because she destroyed everything else. 1 year and still working. We have the phone on a family unlimited text plan, but that is all. No data plan.
