Do you have to have data with this phone or can it just be used as a talk &amp; text phone?

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

Yes.I have done that with mine. You just put in your existing SIM and it will be fine for voice and messaging. I only get data service when connecting through wifi though.

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.

I loved this phone, but I never had data on it. I believe that you can connect to the internet, although I am not sure what the cost of doing so would be. I finally got a smart phone, but it is costly to have internet. Hope this helped.

It will operate without a data plan. However the carriers will detect you using the data and attempt to charge you. It's a fantastic phone and will work anywhere

It depends on your carrier. Some may call it a smart phone and require a data plan, others may let you use a basic talk & text plan. I use PagePlus with a basic prepaid account for talk & text and rely on free wifi when I'm out for internet access. (Most of the supermarkets, malls, etc... seem to offer free wifi)

A data plan is not needed, phone works great with just text and voice plan.

No this phone does not require any data plan. I have used the phone on a 25 a month month rate plan by pay as you go.

Yes, you don't have to have a data plan. I got it for my son it's $50. For unlimited talk, text, internet, GPS... Etc. but you can just with unlimited talk an text for $40..... Those plans even go cheaper then that. Hope I helped you out.

Basic phone with data capabilities. I do not use a data plan for cost reasons. This phone is the best basic phone I have ever owned. I am extremely rough on phones and it has lasted me longer than any phone before it.

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

You may be able to use it with strait talk but it will not access data. It would not be the best value for any prepaid program since no data or Wi-Fi feature will be available.

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, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

No this can't be used as a phone. Only you can put a SIM card and is good to be connected over Internet while traveling.

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.
