Basically yes, but it works with page plus which isn't a steady plan, that's to have talk and text but u can use it over WiFi which u don't need a plan.

You would need an android plan. I must say that I had a lot of issues with this phone and was quickly returned for a refund. I would steer away from it.

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.

Yes, this is only for the hardware. Just like your phone, it's just hardware, won't work without a plan.

If the phone is unlocked then no it does not have to have an AT&T plan. I have two Bursts that are unlocked and I have Straight Talk plans. You will need a SIM card from your provider which you will have to install in the phone. Easy to do. There is also some set up your provider will tell you how to do. One annoying thing is that the phone is branded for AT&T therefore there are AT&T apps on the phone that you cannot remove.

The phone itself does not require a data plan but your carrier may specify otherwise. I have the same phone for both my kids. We are all on AT&T; network. The phones work great.

If your plan allows it. Its not so much a function of the phone but if the carrier.

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.

It does not require a data plan. We have the phone on our family plan, with talk and unlimited texting.

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.

No. just the phone it self. You have to have your own plan. I just had my number switched to new telephone.

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.

It does not require any data plan. You can install SIM card and start to use it right away. You can choose any GSM provider here in US as well as in Europe. This is a reason to buy an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, we've sent it back to seller. It has very good design (it's a Sony(!), so you get a very good designed phone just by default). It was brand new, in the original box, but did not work at all, unfortunately again. May be it was just a Chinese grey copy, but it's only my guess.
