why do smartphones need data plans?

Why do I need a data plan if I dont want to use internet?

  • Hi. Most all U.S. providers require that you have internet on the smart phone. It's just the way it's done. If you don't want internet then get a phone that doesn't require internet. BTW you might like this...smart phones released prior to 11-14-2008 on Verizon's network don't require a data plan at all. Phones like the Palm Centro, Motorola q or Treo.

  • OK Switch off internet connection and just use phone for texts or talking

  • Why would you want one if you didn't use it to access the internet? If you don't access the internet, then don't get a smart phone.
