does this phone pick up free wi-fi signal if you are in a wi-fi zone so you can access email without buying a data plan?

Sure. You can use with a non data plan and use the phone to browse when you are connected to wifi.

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.

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.

No, the phone does not require a data plan. I have the phone and do not have a data plan.

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card

You don't have to sign up for (in this case purchase) a data plan with this phone and it will still work on wifi. But you won't have any access to data when you aren't in wifi range.

no, there's no email or data with it :/ blu phone does make some great cheap devices but I had problems with this one not receiving texts as well so I wouldn't recommend this model except as a burner phone

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

It will operate without a data plan. However the carriers will detect you using the data and attempt to charge you. It's a fantastic phone and will work anywhere

idk about medianet, but, you do not need a data plan to use all of the functions of this phone. For example, i bought this phone, downloaded google voice and voice plus to it, then downloaded gmail, and with a wifi connection, i can access all of the functions of this phone, including the ability to browse the internet and make calls for free. I have the 25 dollar plan, but have yet to use a single minute on that plan!

Yes, and if you Google for the information, there are apps that enable you to make phone calls over wi-fi without ever activating the phone. If someone calls you and you are not connected to wi-fi, their call goes to voice mail and you can return their call as soon as you reconnect to wi-fi.

No, it doesn't have. However, it allows you to access your voice mail, if your provider has this functionality.

As long as you have access to a place with wifi and you have the email address to set it up, no! You can turn off data..
