You do not have to purchase a data plan with a touch screen device. However, a lot of our touch screen phones require an agreement to have the data plan for a year to receive a rebate.
It is not necessary for you to purchase the data plan if you buy a touch screen phone. However, a lot of nTelos' phones have rebates that you receive with them that require at least a year on the data plan. Also, being that they are touch screen if data is accessed and there is no package on the acount you would be responsible unless it's blocked.
There is a possibility that you would be able to use talk and text if you had the phone flashed to nTelos. Unfortunately, the data will not work.
As long as the phone is CDMA capable and not a Blackberry nTelos should be able to activate the phone. However, when you flash a phone from another carrier data and picture messaging is not a guarentee.
You can. It depends on the model of the Verizon handset and also the data will not work.
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.
Many touch screen phones do not require you to buy a data plan. However, some touch screen smart phones require this plant o be bought. It ultimately depends on the service provider and the phone you are buying.
The iPhone does not work for nTelos due to nTelos uses a CDMA based system and the iPhone runs on GSM. Being that the two are diffrent platforms the phone would not transfer and there would be no data connections for the handset.
Touch Screen
if you would prefer a phone with a touch screen that still slides out text then I would say the cosmos touch is better. If you would prefer a phone that is not a touch screen but still flips up to text i would go with the octane. Both are from Verizon and neither require a data plan.
Absolutely the Samsung Reality...it requires the $9.99 data package but has a great touch screen and the slide out QWERTY keyboard is very convenient.
nTelos does not charge to send an email as long as you have data capabilities on your device.
The Samsung Seek from sprint is touch screen somewhat and doesnt need a data package !!
