Hi. It has no ability to use a sim card for data/mobile, so without wireless there is no access to the Internet.

Mine works fine. I use a non-data plan, but the data plan should work also. You can use two SIMs in some of the phones (I think the Blu Life Play has this, mine does) and it lets you turn SIMs on and off so you can turn off your data plan SIM when not in use to avoid getting charged for a day because of a wrong number or something.

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

I love this phone! My husband uses it for talk/text only. We also have 3 iPhones on the plan that share data. I can't really say if it requires a data plan as our 4 lines share data. I can only tell you he doesn't use data, perhaps ask Verizon

No data plan is required for this model, however, be certain that Verizon does not add a data plan when you activate the phone

@J. Qui, it does work without data plan. I have T-Mobile, so can't speak for ATT:Go under settings -> phone -> app. settings -> positioning -> positioning methods and turn off all but 'Integrated GPS'. That way there is no worry it will ever use a network.

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.

If you mean, can this phone still make calls and texts without a data plan, then the answer is yes. If you mean, can this phone access internet if the wifi is turned off, then the answer is only if you have a data plan.

No it doesn't have to have internet connection although it is capable. My son's phone does not have a data plan but he is very careful to never use any data because it is very expensive without a plan. I also had to tell Verizon that we were not using a data plan with this phone.

The one I bought didn't, you can use your existing4G SIM card with it.I had an older 3G card it worked with it too but some of the data functions didn't so I took it to the local at&t; store and they switch out my card for me.also my brother has a GoPhone account which worked with it as well you just have to buy data for the account to use internet without WIFI.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

This phone was for my mom and she already had an AT&T; account. She isn't the best with technology so she only uses WiFi at home without any data plans. The phone still works perfectly well without a data plan. Normally when you get a new smartphone from an AT&T; store they HAVE you get a data plan but when it comes to just switching phones with a you don't exactly have to get a data plan since you already have a pre-existing account. That's from what I see from how she uses it.

you don't have to have a data plan with this phone. I don't have a data plan because of the cost. You can access wifi spots though.
