You do not need an alternate internet connection. Think of this as you would a monitor, keyboard and mouse that would attach to a desktop computer tower. Your phone is the computer, this is the monitor, keyboard and mouse. It is, basically, turning your computer of a phone into a laptop, instead of a handheld device. You can connect to wifi if you like, or continue using your wireless data, but everything you do using this dock is the same as just using your phone alone, except now you have a bigger screen, keyboard and mouse to do it with.

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.

I have an MBR95 with the Verizon UML290 USB modem plugged into it and it provides a WI-FI connection for my whole house. My Verizon Droid Maxx, my Sonos internet radio, and my Sony Smart TV all operate off of this WI-FI. How did you get unlimited data from Verizon; they only would allow me 20 Gb and with downloading HD movies to my TV it only takes about 4 movies until I run over my limit.

I had the phone without a data plan but it has a very rudimentary 'browser' if you could even call it that... I haven't used it in years but I don't remember it being worth anything internet wise. However maybe the service you get could help prevent any internet usage by not allowing data..

They automatically added a data plan to my account when I got this phone. So just be careful to immediately turn off the internet access or else they will find you.

You mean data traffic / internet connection? well, depends on your needs... it does NOT require, but it is a smartphone and not providing network kills a good portion of what smartphones offers best. Anyway not required.

NO...You do NOT need data for this phone. It can be disabled in the options. I called AT

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.

Regardless of what phone you get if you want to use any internet you will need a 3g/4g plan unless you are around a wifi-hotspot. If your asking if its required to have a internet plan then no. Some carriers tend to say it is a requirement if you own a smartphone but that is not true. The phone should not allow you to connect online on their network without a internet plan don't let them fool you its a sales tactic.

I can't really answer that because when I am in a WiFi area I turn off data so that I don't waste it. I turn the data back on when I am out of a wifi if i need to go on the internet for some reason. I have never ran out of data by doing it this way. T-Mobile has always replenished the data without fail. Hope this helps. I have so far have no complaints with this book.James

Hi Barbra, If you have wifi you really won't need a data plan but, you can add one. And, also gps.

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 if you intend to keep the Phone firm ware up to date and browse internet. If you dont have a data plan do not turn on your phone's Mobile network data settings.

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.

I have a question off this one. I am currently in a contract and have unlimited internet. Will this be able to be used for this phone? For example can i download the free apps?

Yes you have to have a data plan to use the phone if you want to use the internet unless you plan on only hooking to your own internet. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Doesn't have enough internal memory, freezes up a lot. Total waste of money.
