Most likely because the phone is only able to be bought on a plan including data..
I do not agree witht that awncer above most SP service providers only require that u pay for a data plan if it is some sort of promotion like Verizon does it alot, a data plan is not a must for any "today" cellphone, smartphone, or PDA to fuction but a Data plan is to allow u to download apps, use the web browser and use email along with picture messiging but not text that's different. that's all data plans do is unlock the full features of the phone hint if its more than 25 dollors and its not unlimited don't do it
i agree with the second answer......if you are on Verizon it is 9.99 for a data plan for th Samsung rogue!
i would soo get the rogue because it does not need a data plan it has a keyboard. but the omnia needs a data plan and has no key board and its from a different country how lame.
No you need to buy data plan from verizon. Sorry...
Different countries have different telco and each telco has several plans
yes
Most phones do not require a data plan. But with Samsung, I have always had great service without the data plan, and i dont believe you need the plan for the phone to be great.
No it is not. The data plan is optional, The data plan costs $10/month through Tmobile.
no, I got one several months ago and a data plan was not required
Samsung Solstice not required data plan . Only 4G phone or Android. If you need more information about that phone or other Samsung products check this link : http://www.samsungtoday.co.uk
No. Yes If you are using phone in it.
Samsung is a mobile phone manufacturer, as such they have no control over the data plan. However, Samsung phones are equipped to handle a myriad of data plans, from basic messaging to internet browsing and streaming.
If you buy the Samsung Galaxy S3 from a carrier, they will probably require you to buy a data plan for them. The minimum plan is usually 250 megabytes per month.
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.
