Not when I got it. Usually amazon will tell you if it does. I'd ask the seller

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.

no you do not have to have a data plan I have at one with AT&T; for several years great phone for talking and texting.

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.

This is not considered a Smart Phone, as it does not run a major operating system, like Apple, Android, or Windows. It does have a lot of nice features though.I use it on Verizon, and to the best of my knowledge, there is no Data Plan. Good luck on your quest.

It comes without a data plan and I purchased it to replace my phone that broke, but for which my plan still hadn't run its course until I could get an upgrade. It came with directions to fire it up on my pre-existing plan that I was replacing my broken phone from.

Yes, this phone requires a data package through any provider. Net10 provides unlimited talk/text/data for low monthly plans.

It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.

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 data plan required. We gave our daughter this phone because she destroyed everything else. 1 year and still working. We have the phone on a family unlimited text plan, but that is all. No data plan.

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.

Just spoke with Verizon and they said the data plan for this phone is optional.

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.

It does not require a data plan. We have the phone on our family plan, with talk and unlimited texting.

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.

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.
