No
Yes, the Pantech Matrix Pro does require a monthly data plan. However, you can enable the data plan when you first receive the phone but then after you get it, call your company (probably AT&T) and tell them you want it removed. You get to keep the phone ;)
No.
No, when you call you can ask for a pay as you go data package, and if you do not wish to use the features then you can block them.
No! but its a phone suitable for business person that wants a cool phone that wont require a data plan
This phone, although it has a touch screen is a basic phone, meaning there is no data package required. Because this phone is supported by Verizon there is an available $10 reduced data package just for email.
All PDAs, Smartphones, and Blackberry phones require a data package of $29.99 or more. The Samsung Rogue and LG EnV Touch also require a subscription to a $9.99 or $19.99 data package or they can be put on a Connect or Premium plan.
No it is not. The mythic is considered a qmd (quick messaging phone) and does not require the data package. All you need is a messaging plan. One thing to watch out for is the apps on the phone that require data so if your going be using them alot you should consider the data package.
