does this need a data plan?

I got it for my grandson and put it on my Walmart t mobile plan, you can use any GSM phone with that plan. the starter kit for each phone is $25 (Micro Sim) and $29/mo for the first phone and $25/mo for extra phones. unlimited talk, text and data.

I go through t-mobile and have a data plan, but I'm pretty sure it will work without one.

only if you want to receive data I thinkits not the greatest phone I've ever had, but I need a keyboard and that limits my selection...the Maps program is good.

I'm unsure, mine has a sim card for service but u may be able to just have phone and text service without a data plan depending on who's offering the plan.

Whether or not a phone requires a data plan is up to your Carrier. We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure with them if they require for the phone to have a data plan.

No you don"t. I have one and it does not require a data plan, if they start to charge you for one, you can cancel it and still be able to use the phone, but it is difficult to receive picture messages on.

Since I already had a Verizon data plan all I did was replace my old Palm Pre with this new one. I assume that YES you will need a data plan. Good luck.

no you do not have to have a data plan I have at one with AT&T; for several years great phone for talking and texting.

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.

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.

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.

I do have a plan that has data but I don't use it because it eats up my minutes so I turned off the data on the phone. I don't know if you need a plan with data.

Yes but does not require payments for a data plan. I just use talk and text.

This phone can be used without a data plan, but of course you know the data plan is needed if you want to use the internet.

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.

No data plan required. I have had two LG 8350 phones. Both had phone jacks that broke and could only be used with a headset.

Verizon has not required a data plan with my enV3 phone, however the first clerk that I talked to was sure that I would need one. I've had this phone for over 3 years, no data plan. Good Luck!
