Does this phone require a data plan?

Whether or not the phone will require a data plan is up to your Carrier, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure with them if they require a data plan.

No. I understand it handles data well, but I don't text or e-mail from phone. It is one of the last non-smart phones, but has lots of touch screen and advanced features. It has "only" 3 main screens, but that's 2-1/2 more than I use. You can move icons you don't use to "the end" and only see the ones you need. I'm not too hapy with the way it interacts with my Motorola bluetooth earpiece, but it's minor annoyance. If you're lookiing to stave off HAVING to go to a smart phone, this is a good upgrade from basic/flip type.

We apologize for the delay in responding. No this phone definitely does not require a data plan. I have it myself so I know for sure. Thank you for your interest.Clayton Recellulartoo

Basic phone with data capabilities. I do not use a data plan for cost reasons. This phone is the best basic phone I have ever owned. I am extremely rough on phones and it has lasted me longer than any phone before it.

Yes, this phone requires a data package through any provider. Net10 provides unlimited talk/text/data for low monthly plans.

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!

No, you don't have to have a data plan for this phone. We are using it as spare phone abroad with multiple providers. However, the charges will apply, when you use data though.

No data plan is required by Verizon. Verizon is my carrier. I signed up to pay an extra five bucks a month over the cell phone service so I could send up to several hundred texts a month, but no data plan, unless you were going to use this phone to browse the internet or something like that, but I would not advise that.

Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.

No you do not have to get the data package with this phone. I don't have it. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

No, it does not require a data plan. It's an unlocked at&t; phone, but I was able to get the tmobile month to month plan.

It comes without a data plan and I purchased it to replace my phone that broke, but for which my plan still hadn't run its course until I could get an upgrade. It came with directions to fire it up on my pre-existing plan that I was replacing my broken phone from.

It does not require any data plan. You can install SIM card and start to use it right away. You can choose any GSM provider here in US as well as in Europe. This is a reason to buy an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, we've sent it back to seller. It has very good design (it's a Sony(!), so you get a very good designed phone just by default). It was brand new, in the original box, but did not work at all, unfortunately again. May be it was just a Chinese grey copy, but it's only my guess.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the Internet you can use any wifi available. If you are wanting Internet all the time, you might want to look into getting a hotspot which will require a data plan. I hope this information helps!!

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.

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.
