Not if you don't tell them and use your old SIM card. You won't get a (cell) data plan, but you'll still be able to use WIFI, Bluetooth. If you do get a data plan from AT

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.

Short answer, yes; but you will have problems with data. ATT Go may not allow data packets to go through any smartphone on a prepaid plan if the phone is not originally part of their Go line. Aside from that you can use it for calls, texts, and wifi.

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

I use the Asha 311 with an AT&T; SIM card. Works so well that I gave one to my dad. Since AT&T; does not define it as a "smartphone", they do not require a data plan. So it's great. Highly recommended.

Yes, it will work with a plain Att sim card for plain old talking and texting. No data plan required! That is why I also bought it; for talking and easy texting.

That is not really true if using a Pay as You Go plan. You are not required to have a data plan. I checked on the ATT site. If you have a contract and try to put your sim card in a smartphone, they will detect it and add a data plan automatically.

They automatically added a data plan to my account when I got this phone. So just be careful to immediately turn off the internet access or else they will find you.

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.

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.

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.

Nope. I've had mine for 2 years and my hubby has had his for a year and neither of us have a data plan. You can access the internet from the phone if you have one, but if you don't get one, you can just use it for calls and texts.

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T; has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

@J. Qui, it does work without data plan. I have T-Mobile, so can't speak for ATT:Go under settings -> phone -> app. settings -> positioning -> positioning methods and turn off all but 'Integrated GPS'. That way there is no worry it will ever use a network.

AT&T; will add a data plan when you activate any smartphone. EVEN IF you don't activate it with them. Hope that helps.
