Does Verizon require a data package for this phone when activated?

no if it replaces an existing phone. If your starting a new line then they will have some type of basic 2 year package.

Yes. Phone activated perfectly on the Verizon network. I would urge you to activate via phone. They will not try to sell you another data plan, nor newer phone. Just ask them to do a "device switch". This should not disrupt your current data plan...( I.e. unlimited data).

Yes, this is a smart phone of course a data package is needed to use data service. But, I don't recommend you to buy it, cause there is big issue with the usb port recharge. I bought 2 all gave me the same issues and a lot of customers complaint about ...

No matter what wireless provider you choose... all depends on what plan you have... if your plan includes voice calls and a data package... that's all you need...

No. You have to make sure that you call Verizon when you activate your phone and tell them you do not want a DATA plan on it. Be sure to be very specific and tell them more than once.

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.

I think if you have the data package--it looks like that is an option for this phone, but I don't currently have that in my plan.

yes, then you can either take the phone to the verizon store or activate it over the phone or on the internet.

Not that I know of. I have Verizon and have no current updates. Bought this as replacment for my old phone that went to hell. Activation was'nt hard.

If you don't already have a smart phone, you'll need to upgrade to a data package on verizon to make this phone function.

The phone does not need a data package which is one of the main reasons i bought it but then the reception was terrible so very disappointed and quickly returned it.

Verizon phones are CDMA and do not use "sim" cards - you probably have a "memory card" slot to store photos and data on. Check your owners info.

No you do not need a data plan to use this phone. I have AT&T; text & talk only and was able to add it to my plan. It is capable of data if you were to upgrade your plan to data but again not required.

I doubt it, honestly. I just got my Storm from verizon, and the rep told me that all of their smartphones are required to have a data plan. I doubt they would program the phone for you without the data plan.
