why do I have to pay data charges

You don't UNLESS you choose to use the web features of the phone. The phone has limited web capability that will require a data transfer. If you tell your provider you will not be using the web features then they will shut that portion of your phone off and you wont have to.

I have a tmobile $30/ 30 mb plan and its charging me over 1/2 megabyte a day when the phone literally sat on a charger on my local wifi. My account is almost out of its 30 mb plan and I'm not using data at all.What a rip off!

You do have to pay Virgin Mobile if you want phone service (then you use the wi-fi). You might be able to use wi-fi without the phone service but I don't think you'd want to do that.

No need for internet. I went to Verizon and specifically asked them to turn it off. If they don't turn it off on their end then yes, I believe you are subject to accidental data charges. Check with your carrier; I use Verizon

None. You have to purchase a data plan. $15 for 250 MB, $60 for 30 GB, and $90 for 10 GB

Good Question! Our Trackers Are SIM Card Based....Meaning The Only Monthly Charge Is From Your Chosen Service Provider. Mine Is AT&T And I Pay $9.99 A Month For My Data. Its Basically Like Having A Cell Phone Answering Your Call And Telling You Exactly Where It Is Right When You Ask. All Through Text. You Can Also Use Prepaid SIM Cards But That Can Be Pricey If You Check Its Location Often. Hope This Answers Your Question, And Thank You!

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.

No you don"t. I have one and it does not require a data plan, if they start to charge you for one, you can cancel it and still be able to use the phone, but it is difficult to receive picture messages on.

you don't need to have data service for gps work. this is stand alone gps, so no monthly charge for gps.

Hi Kathi, Since this is unlocked you don't need to pay any monthly fees. You still need a data line though to get it to work and that will require a monthly fee, from your operator (AT&T;, T-Mobile, etc...).

Yes and when you sign up tell them you don't want data and you will save $15 a month. They tried to tell me I had to get it but you don't have to. Good luck

Answer here...The phone I bought works great all I had to do was charge phone and I put my sim card in the phone so you do need a sim card you could buy a sim card online or go to an AT&T; store and ask for one and more than likely they will give you a free one.If you have a sim card already you can use that you can do the phone prepaid or contract also and I use wifi so I do not have to worry about data charges

In the usa, T-Mobile still(05.2015) offers a data plan where you pay $15 once for the SIM card, then you get 200MB/month for life FREE, no-contract, and you can buy data as you need it; 500MB/1 day $5; 1GB/1 week, $10; 3GB/30 days $30; 5GB/30 days $40; I believe I have the pricing correct. If you aren't a data hog, you can go all month of emailing with the Free 200MB, sweet. I have these in some 3G iPads and works awesome. I love T-Mobi and am kissing AT-T's A$$ goodbye.

You dont need data, you dont even have to have a data plan. Just use as phone and text, if you want data in the future you can buy a small amount for 5 or 10 dollars on one time basis as desired

You do not have to pay for a data plan, it can be used as a phone and/or text device. I do want to state this is an out dated european styled smart phone. It runs on symbian format. All new Nokia phones will be windows format now since Nokia sold out to windows.
