Yes it can, just connect wifi to phone like you would if it had service... Not greatest phone, low memory and quality isn't the greatest either...

No, the xyboard has wifi as well. It would work just fine without Verizon service. Just connect to Wi-Fi at home or wherever.

A few months ago, I bought a BLU Samba W Q170W for the times when I am travelling overseas. So, except for a pay-as-you-go foreign SIM card that I keep in the phone, I have no carrier plan for it at all. Yet, every now and then, I use the phone with my WiFi at home here in the U.S. for quick Internet access, especially when I need to do a quick Google search and don't want or don't have the time to fire up a full desktop or laptop computer. So, absolutely yes, this phone can be used for WiFi access without a data plan.

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon.However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

If you mean, can this phone still make calls and texts without a data plan, then the answer is yes. If you mean, can this phone access internet if the wifi is turned off, then the answer is only if you have a data plan.

It's not necessary, but in order to have full functionality, it will need to be connected to the internet via wi-fi. Without a wi-fi connection, you will only be able to make & receive calls & texts and use offline apps (like games).

No wifi. The internet browser itself is pretty archaic, and the graphics display is horrible. It's a decent phone, but that's all it is.
