It is a smartphone that runs on symbian and does not require data plan to use. In fact, I use it mainly as a mic and camera because it has a really good mic and camera.

Yes the Nokia 808 is a g3 smart phone which can be purchased unlocked so that it can be used with virtually any plan. Some "plans" require data when you have a smart phone and some do not. In the USA there are a number of plans which do not require you to pay for or use the phone as a smart phone. For example, I have a plan with Pure Talk USA which has both data plans and talk/text only. I use my Nokia on a talk/text plan which is very, very reasonable.

Yes, this is a "basic phone". I use it with Verizon. I do not have a data plan. It will do media type things but that cost extra, as you know.

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.

no, its not a smart phone, it is not data-ready (no data-package required). But it is text-ready and there are various text packages available.

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.

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.

All I can tell you is it is listed as a "verizon" wireless phone. To me that says it is configured for the verizon network. Whether it works without a data plan, I have no idea. I bought mine to replace a RAZR I'd had since 2008.

No. THis is not a smart phone. It has internet access, but you can't buy a smart phone for this price. It has text ability, and you can store numbers on it, but it is not like a smart phone. It is a great phone. I need a simple phone, so I love mine, and it comes pretty much as you see it, with a battery and charger. If you are looking for a smart phone, look elsewhere, however.

Yes it does. (with AT&T anyway). It is a smartphone, so most carriers will require a data plan.

It can come with data, but my wife uses it only for phone calls and texting. So, we do not pay for it like a smart phone. We blocked the data on it and don't pay the extra $30, but you have to call your supplier. If you are looking for a "real" smart phone, I wouldn't recommend this one.

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.

No, this is not considered a smart phone and therefore does not require a "data package" with my carrier (Verizon).

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.
