Will this phone get group texts and photo texts without a data plan?

The other answer is very informative. When I had this phone, I had unlimited and I could receive group texts and photo texts. I had unlimited text, talk, and internet for about $10 but it was through ATT. Also, my phone only took ok pictures. They weren't exactly the best.

I used to work with US Sprint and it is impossible to get photo texts if you do not wish to pay for data download. That being said this phone CAN recieve group texts and photos BUT if you do not have a data plan (not mandatory with this phone as it is not a smartphone) it will cost you to download (to send or receive). I do not know if group texts is considered data download as photos are. I would guess not but I might be wrong. regardless, I would say yes though you may have to pay extra. This is based on US networks I am not sure about international.

No SMARTPHONE data plan required. You can check email, scores, etc. with the regular data plan for non-smartphones.

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.

I love this phone! My husband uses it for talk/text only. We also have 3 iPhones on the plan that share data. I can't really say if it requires a data plan as our 4 lines share data. I can only tell you he doesn't use data, perhaps ask Verizon

You do not have to have a data plan unless you want the photos emailed to you. However, you do have to have a activated SIM card for each camera. They usually run about $10 a month, but you would have to have one for each camera.

No. One of the decent phones left that has dialogue style texts but doesn't have data plan. It can but my daughter only needs to text.

Hello, Yes this phone will work on your current plan & contract without a data plan.

Yes if you intend to keep the Phone firm ware up to date and browse internet. If you dont have a data plan do not turn on your phone's Mobile network data settings.

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

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.

Yes, it does. You do not have to have a data plan with this phone either. I used it for over two months. The reception was pretty bad though. Everyone I talked to complained of background noise.

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

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.

you don't have to have a data plan with this phone. I don't have a data plan because of the cost. You can access wifi spots though.
