Do you have to have a data plan or can you operate with just a sim card?

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.

Your plan needs to support whatever you are wanting to do. I took the sim from my old phone and used it in this one and i have the same service as before.

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.

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.

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.

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.

AT&T; will add a data plan when you activate any smartphone. EVEN IF you don't activate it with them. Hope that helps.

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.

No. However if you have no plan, you will be charged for the amount of data used. So, although there's no requirement, you probably want a plan.

Yes, you don't have to have a data plan. I got it for my son it's $50. For unlimited talk, text, internet, GPS... Etc. but you can just with unlimited talk an text for $40..... Those plans even go cheaper then that. Hope I helped you out.

When I had this phone in the US, through a contract with Cricket, I was paying for data. You can probably use it without a data plan, but you'll have to be careful to not use the internet features of the phone.

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon.However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

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.

You will not need a sim card if you arent going over seas. But you can just go to Verizon and ask for a sim card for free.
