I have att prepaid sim card without data plan just on per minute base, and I wonder if i can use it on this phone without adding a data plan. Thanks.

I would like to know how you bypass the adding of the data plan to your bill- I just got off the phone with an AT&T; rep that told me when their system does a sweep- it recognizes that the basic phone SIM card is in a smartphone. It automatically adds it to your account! I have just purchased 3 of these phones to use as regular phones and not data. Does anybody know how to fix my problem?? Please help!!

Yes, you can. That's what I did. I just stuck my existing SIM card from my non-smart phone and my plan remained the same (10 cents/min only). I also turned off the Data setting to ensure my phone never attempts to use Data.

It does charge you for a data plan if you don't have an existing plan. At&t; automatically recognizes it as a smart phone and begins charging you.

Well I try to do it with my regular sim card and it didn't worked, they charged me $16 only for trying. Then I bought a new sim card and when I tried to put money they automatically gave me the smart phone plan option.

Yes you can use your existing sim card to activate your new handset. The SIM card contains information about your account and has 'passwords' to activate the new phone. Changing the handset (your new phone) should not affect your account at all.

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.

You can put your at&t; sum card in this phone and it will work without having to renew your contract or activation fees. All other data plans and charges are separate and depend on your plan.

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

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'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.

You have to have a data package. It's a lie that the phone doesn't need data. Without it you can't activate it.

O. Gaynor, you can use this phone on AT&T; without a data plan. I am sure several folks do it. I use it, but with teh media net plan, not a smartphone data plan. I am 100% sure you can use this phone without any kind of data plan. For its price, it's a very solid smartphone.

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.

AT&T; will add a data plan when you activate any smartphone. EVEN IF you don't activate it with them. Hope that helps.

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

Hey Tony, ATT has data plans for all smartphones. However I bought this phone to send it overseas.

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

When I purchased the phone, it did not come with a sim card period. I used my regular sim card with ATT and I had to purchase a small SD card for it to work properly. I had to call my cell phone provider to get the information so it could work on their network.

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

When I had this phone in the US, through a contract with Cricket, I was paying for data. You can probably use it without a data plan, but you'll have to be careful to not use the internet features of the phone.
