This phone only works with T mobile so you must have a T mobile service plan. I believe all of their current plans include some data. You can use T mobile's WiFi calling and data feature but you still have to purchase a T mobile plan.

On the last MyTouch, I didn't have a data plan for awhile and it worked on WiFi, so I am sure this one is the same.

Yes, you can use wifi-only if you'd like. If you get an unlocked version, you can use nearly any SIM. A voice plan SIM plus wifi should be fine. Only the wifi hotspot/tethering is restricted...even when unlocked.

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.

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.

No a data plan is not required. However, if you are buying this phone to use with an existing phone plan that you have with AT&T; in order to avoid a data charge for a new smartphone through AT&T;, and you wanting to switch sim cards between the phones. AT&T; will *happily* add a data charge to this phone. Best bet is to cancel the service you have (if you are out of you contracted obligation) and use the sim that comes with the phone and follow the setup instructions that also come with the phone.

You will only need to get a data plan if you wish to use the iPad on the AT&T; 4G network. You can only use the iPad on WiFi if you have no data plan.

You can use it for wifi only. However I bought mine and it stopped charging after about a month.

Yes. The way around this is to go to consumercellular.com and get one of their plans. They re-sell att bandwidth, there is no contract and you don't need to buy a data plan.

No, you need the SIM (with an internet plan) only if you don't have WIFI access.

Yes you have to have a data plan to use the phone if you want to use the internet unless you plan on only hooking to your own internet. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Doesn't have enough internal memory, freezes up a lot. Total waste of money.

Yes. I bought this phone for my brother as a basic phone on my Verizon plan. It's been working great. It's a very nice simple phone with a colorful touch display. You will not need to purchase a data plan.

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.

You don't need data plan. I have att fusion 2 but I'm not required to use data plan and I have A

No you can use it just over WiFi if you wish. If you plan to activate it seeing as it is a smart phone you will have to get a data plan.

No data plan is required for this model, however, be certain that Verizon does not add a data plan when you activate the phone

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.

pretty sure, yes. I remember being told that even with the $50 "unlimited everything" plan that you still needed a separate data plan for this phone because its not technically a smart phone. But thats only if you want to access internet or use apps that do. If not, then no, it doesnt require one just for typical use. For very minor use, the $25 plan is perfect.

It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.
