Do I need a data plan with T-Mobile in order to use the GPS function?

yes, you will be needing a data plan to access GPS if you're not in wifi range. AT&T; has a new prepaid plan for 50US$ 2gb 4G data plans and T-Mobile's got unlimited text,talk 500mb 4G LTE plans.

Yes, it will work with T-Mobile in Texas. That is what I have. However, it will not be true "3G". This will not affect most things you do with your phone, but you will experience data download/upload performance lag. You can read more about T-Mobile frequencies for 3G, if you like. I use my tablet for most of my data download/uploads, so it does not bother me if Google maps takes longer to load on my phone. Truthfully, I just wanted a dependable phone without a contract. This phone is perfect for that! :-)

The "cell tower" connectivity is back hauled over your internet connection. There is an Ethernet connection on the back of the unit that you use to connect to your router. The GPS thing is required for it to work. I'm not sure exactly they require it, but I'm guessing it has to do with their service areas or something. Calls and texts work pretty well, but you are going to have to get the little good receiver near a window. It has a fairly long cable, maybe 12-15 or something like that.

Yes, GPS works without a cell service but without live traffic update. I do not know anything about TracFone

Buy prepaid card (Walmart ?) or go to a T-Mobile store and have them activate your hotspot by paying for data package

I go through t-mobile and have a data plan, but I'm pretty sure it will work without one.

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.

The Amber Alert GPS does require a service plan. The GPS operates off of cell towers, just like a phone. I did not find the service plan to be particularly cheap -- it costs $29.99/month. For $9.99/mo the device will do a more limited range of things. I believe the device will work with either AT&T; or TMobile service plans. We purchased this device to use when our daughter skis. Because it uses cell phone technology, we had trouble with the device as AT&T; doesn't have good service on the mountain. So, make sure you have good cell phone coverage if you want this device to work properly.

I believe it's free, although sometimes it will work through your phone, so yes if use your phone you will need a data plan.

I found on the T-Mobile website support page, that this data plan is for a 24 hr session. If you purchase a day pass say at Monday at 3:00pm, it will be available until Tuesday 2:59pm. Hope this helps. I was curious about the data plans myself.

Not anymore. You can just call T-mobile or go to their store and ask for this specific plan.

The phone comes with a navigation app preloaded, but in order to use it while traveling, you will need to pay your service provider for a data plan. I only use the phone's data functions with wi-fi because I don't have a contract or data plan.

No it takes a regular SIM card which you can still get if you go to any T-Mobile store.

this phone uses Wi-Fi so you can connect to any open network without paying for data plan. If you would like to use maps and GPS on a rode you would have to sign up for a data plan with your internet provider

Yes, it will work fine with TracFone. T-Mobile is a better deal right now with their new rates, if you get good signal from T-Mobile in your area. I just switched from AT&T; to T-Mobile. Yes the A-GPS will work without data, but it takes a while to get a lock

To the best of my knowledge there is no GPS function on this basic phone (Samsung T105). It isn't at all like a smart phone.
