Can this phone be used on Verizon without having a data plan?

No it cannot. It relies on OTA(over the programing). Yeah I tried to do the same thing before.

This phone can be used without a data plan, but of course you know the data plan is needed if you want to use the internet.

When I had this phone in the US, through a contract with Cricket, I was paying for data. You can probably use it without a data plan, but you'll have to be careful to not use the internet features of the phone.

data plan is only required if you phone with subsidy. The phone will connect to wifi without a data plan

Siffert the question asked was if the phone would work with wi-fi without a data plan, not whether it would work where there is no wi-fi. The person wanted to use it at home on their wi-fi network without a data plan which from what AT&T; customer service says the answer is yes you can access your wi-fi without a data plan. You only need a data plan to access internet when not around a wi-fi connection.

I believe it does require a data plan. I do know you can only activate the phone on a verizon contract so havibg to commit a data plan isnt that hard to believe.

In order to use the internet services on this phone without wifi, you will have to have a data plan.

I doubt it, honestly. I just got my Storm from verizon, and the rep told me that all of their smartphones are required to have a data plan. I doubt they would program the phone for you without the data plan.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

No, the phone does not require a data plan. I have the phone and do not have a data plan.

You don't have to sign up for (in this case purchase) a data plan with this phone and it will still work on wifi. But you won't have any access to data when you aren't in wifi range.

No. You have to make sure that you call Verizon when you activate your phone and tell them you do not want a DATA plan on it. Be sure to be very specific and tell them more than once.

Verizon has not required a data plan with my enV3 phone, however the first clerk that I talked to was sure that I would need one. I've had this phone for over 3 years, no data plan. Good Luck!

My husband currently uses this phone with a Verizon plan. He only uses it for phone calls; I do not know about text messages or data plan capabilities.

This phone I purchased and had activated on my Verizon account but it is not a smart phone as does not require a data plan.

I do not have a data plan. I solely use wifi on this phone. I have a AT&T sim card. This cell phone works wonderful without a data plan.

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.
