I have a no contract Net10 phone without a data plan. If I purchased this phone and used my existing Net10 sim card, would Net10 require a data plan?

This is my situation, too. Does Net10 SIM w/o data plan work? I'd be happy with voice only and wifi access only for internet.

I don't think Net10 would require a data plan because it's the unlocked phone.

As long as it is a sim card that says BRING YOUR OWN PHONE then it doesn't matter if the phone is AT&T; or T-Mobile. If the sim card does not say that then it must be activated with a NET 10 phone. I am still pretty new to NET 10 so I am learning as I go.

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.

Unfortunately I am not able to answer this question with security because I have a T-mobile plan. However, the phone does indeed cary 2 sim slots and it should be able to work with Net10. Please refer to the link http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090228212717AAWZwP6 ... Good Luck :)

The phone that I purchased does not come with a pre-paid Net 10 card. That card I purchased separately. But that aside, I like the Net 10 service as unused minutes DO carry over to the next month. RIG

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.

If Net10 uses a SIM card GSM phone, then with this being an unlocked phone, it will work. If it doesn't utilize GSM technology and uses CDMA like sprint, then it won't work.

Verizon rep told me that I don't need a data plan for it. I'm replacing a phone without a data plan.Perhaps other people are replacing phones that were under contract with a data plan, so they would still have to keep the plan until their obligation is over?

Answer to the question "Can this be used without a data plan": Yes. I used it for two years with no data plans. It comes with a wifi to allow you connecting to the internet when wifi is available.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, you cannot.. It must be the sim card that comes with the phone and then you must activate the phone using net-10.

No data needed. I had to call the carrier to set up the phone. If I tried signing it up online, it asked for a data plan.

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.

That is not really true if using a Pay as You Go plan. You are not required to have a data plan. I checked on the ATT site. If you have a contract and try to put your sim card in a smartphone, they will detect it and add a data plan automatically.
