If an unlocked 520 is used on a no-data call/text plan, will contacts be stored on the phone or do all Windows phones only store contacts in cloud?

I had many Problems with this phone most of them concerned about contact Essue

Yes, contacts can be stored on the phone through the address book and also can be backed up to their cloud called "OneDrive" but is not necessary. I copied my contacts from my old phone to my 520 using a Micro SD card. I did need to do some minor editing to some names that copied over given the different format in the address books.

I have had this phone for several months now. If you don't use Whatsapp you dont necessarily need a data plan as it works fine with WIFI, however it is unable to switch off the function that keeps trying to connect to the internet for example through Whatsapp. I believe there is some way around it as per other internet blogs, but i have not been able to figure it out. Anyway, I have whatsapp and a small dataplan and that's just fine. If you don't have one, don't download whatsapp or similar apps which require to be online all the time. This Nokia does not have an easy 'disconnect all connections' like the older ones did...

I bought an unlocked nokia. I've used an att sim card and also a sim card for use overseas. It holds a standard size sim card. It's a great little phone. It's not fancy, but works well.

No you do not need a data plan to use this phone. I have AT&T; text & talk only and was able to add it to my plan. It is capable of data if you were to upgrade your plan to data but again not required.

I have no clue, I was just told to order a Lumia 520 phone because it should do everything I needed. That's what I did.

I Don't think so.. The 521 is little bigger than the 520. Sorry I couldn't help

To the best of my knowledge, you can use this (and any other Nokia Symbian phone) with AT&T without a data plan (I have done so). AT&T doesn't consider them "smartphones", for whatever reason. I do not know whether this is the case with Symbian phones that run the upcoming "Belle", the most recent version of Symbian. Doesn't apply to E5-00 in any case.

No. This simply acts as a hands free bluetooth device. It does not store texts or contacts.

This phone was for my mom and she already had an AT&T; account. She isn't the best with technology so she only uses WiFi at home without any data plans. The phone still works perfectly well without a data plan. Normally when you get a new smartphone from an AT&T; store they HAVE you get a data plan but when it comes to just switching phones with a you don't exactly have to get a data plan since you already have a pre-existing account. That's from what I see from how she uses it.

Well the phone it self does not have any internal memory and some programs can not work efficiently because of the low memory capacity. It freezes at times but have not encountered any problems while making a call. So the decision is yours.

You can put any phone that is Verizon, on a Verizon contact. But only Verizon phones. I made that mistake.

U don't need a contact, but you won't have unlimited date unless you will pay a lot. I went to AT&T; and I had 5G for 50$. They will just give you SIM card then you put it inside it.

Hi Nazrul! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) You should not have to if you have the correct device (the Nokia Lumia 520, NOT the 521). Hope this helps, please do contact us at our storefront email if you have further questions. Here is the link:

No, it is not unlocked. It is for use with AT&T; only. The only Windows phone available for Metro PCS is a Nokia Lumia 521, but I have never had any of those for sale. I do have the Huawei Premia and LG Motion, both Android smartphones for Metro PCS, currently in-stock and ready to ship. Thank you :)

I currently live in Ecuador and I bought an unlocked phone. It works really smooth and nice although I´m having a little bit of troubles with the conectivity of the Whatsapp application and it hasn´t updated to windows 8.1 yet. Beside these issues everything is great, specially the camera!

The manual states: you can store contacts with multiple phone numbers and e-mail addresses, as well as a physical address and additional details. The phone can store up to 1000 items. Your SIM card can store contact information as well; however, a SIM card may not be able to save all of the contact fields supported by the phone.

I'm not sure actually. My phone is 521 and I don't know if 520 and 521 are the same size, but I guess you can Google it.
