That means that the phone is a smart phone and will require you to have data services with your provider. Your provider can provide more information and pricing. Thanks, Tonya, Taylor Wireless LLC

When you activate this phone, your service carrier requires that you purchase a plan that includes data services as well as voice & text services.

No, that's incorrect. The data plan is an entirely separate charge from the calling (i.e., minutes) plan.

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 would say yes. If you don't have a wi-fi connection or 3G you will need some type of data plan if you have a smart phone.

I was told it needed a data plan. I have not tried it otherwise. If you are not having a data plan, you probably do not want a smart phone, which is bigger.

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon.However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

Yes, but if you want to use the web or send pictures, you must buy a data plan

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card

Whether or not the phone will require a data plan is up to your Carrier, we recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure with them if they require a data plan.

Yes it does. (with AT&T anyway). It is a smartphone, so most carriers will require a data plan.

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.

You mean data traffic / internet connection? well, depends on your needs... it does NOT require, but it is a smartphone and not providing network kills a good portion of what smartphones offers best. Anyway not required.

No data plan required. We gave our daughter this phone because she destroyed everything else. 1 year and still working. We have the phone on a family unlimited text plan, but that is all. No 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
