does this phone require a data plan?

No. However if you have no plan, you will be charged for the amount of data used. So, although there's no requirement, you probably want a plan.

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.

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

No, you do not need a data plan to use the LG Prime. The phone is classified as a "Feature Phone". You will not be able to use the included IM/Email features, but everything else will work just fine. I've been using it for over a week now without any data plan. I love it!

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.

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

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.

No it doesn't have to have internet connection although it is capable. My son's phone does not have a data plan but he is very careful to never use any data because it is very expensive without a plan. I also had to tell Verizon that we were not using a data plan with this phone.

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.

Yes, this is a "basic phone". I use it with Verizon. I do not have a data plan. It will do media type things but that cost extra, as you know.

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.

All I can tell you is it is listed as a "verizon" wireless phone. To me that says it is configured for the verizon network. Whether it works without a data plan, I have no idea. I bought mine to replace a RAZR I'd had since 2008.

No you do not have to get the data package with this phone. I don't have it. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.

Yes, this phone requires a data package through any provider. Net10 provides unlimited talk/text/data for low monthly plans.
