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.

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.

Hi Karen, I use this phone because it does not have data capabilities. I have ATT and do not pay data charges on this phone. Darrell

I don't think so...it's a Verizon phone so am quite sure it doesn't work with the AT&T; plan!

If the phone is unlocked then no it does not have to have an AT&T; plan. I have two Bursts that are unlocked and I have Straight Talk plans. You will need a SIM card from your provider which you will have to install in the phone. Easy to do. There is also some set up your provider will tell you how to do. One annoying thing is that the phone is branded for AT&T; therefore there are AT&T; apps on the phone that you cannot remove.

I have this phone with ATT and -no data-. That's why I like it. They don't charge for data because it's not a smart phone and very limited in what it can do. (I can surf the internet, which is about all I need in addition to text and calling.)

You don't need a data plan. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you wanted to use the internet anyways; the access is not good for web surfing. Great for a basic text and talk plan though.

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

@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.

Yes you can, thats what I had did. However, AT&T is still going to automatically add a data plan to your account after the phone has been used for more than a day. With all AT&T smartphones(which this phone is), it is required to have a data plan. Even if you only planned on using this as a basic talk and text only. They are still going to charge you for data plan, roughly about 30 dollars a month. But in my case it is now 20 dollars plus tax a month

The phone itself does not require a data plan but your carrier may specify otherwise. I have the same phone for both my kids. We are all on AT&T; network. The phones work great.

The Sharp FX STX-2 does not require a data plan. I am currently using it with my AT&T; service & I do not have a data plan.

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.

No. This phone has AT&T; branding and does not allow T-Mobile data service; I am returning

I'm unsure, mine has a sim card for service but u may be able to just have phone and text service without a data plan depending on who's offering the plan.
