Data Plan Compatibility Comments for LG Dare
By AlecS on June 2, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Prior to purchasing this phone, I was confused about whether or not the LG Dare required a Data plan, since many people on this review stated that it does not work without a data plan. So
now that I have the phone bought and activated, I thought I would let everyone know what I think is the definitive answer to whether or not this phone is compatible with Verizon's NO DATA plan option. Here's my experience:

- Before I clicked the "buy now" button, I called Verizon on the phone to ask.
- Verizon specifically stated that this phone does NOT require a data plan.
- After I received the phone and tried to activate it online on Verizon's website, the site said "DATA PLAN IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PHONE."
- I called Verizon, to ask them why I was getting a message that said "Data plan required" when I was told prior to the purchase that a data plan was NOT required.
- Here's what they told me:

o Whenever you buy a phone that has the capability to go online, their website automatically asks you to purchase a data plan. There is an option online that says "pay as you go" data plan with no fixed charge, but a fee of something like $2.50 per MB of usage. If you choose this option, you will not be charged a monthly fee, but you will be charged if you use the phone's internet access feature.
o However, if you call Verizon and ask them to disable the internet access feature, you will not only not incur any monthly charges, but you also do not have to choose the "pay as you go" data plan.

==>> So to make a long story short - after you buy the phone, just call Verizon and tell them that you want to use the phone without any data plan and to disable any internet features of the phone. And voila, you will have a touchscreen phone with no monthly or pay-as-you-go data fees.

Excellent Phone
By Pat47 on December 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
This phone is great. Touch screen sensitivity is not overly sensitive and you don't have to press to hard. I have this phone for about a week, and even though it did not come with a manual, i was able to figure it out easily. I bought this phone because I wanted a touch screen phone that didn't require a data package. The 3.2 mega pixel camera is outstanding. The phone comes with 7 cool animated backgrounds and several ringtones. If you want your own ringtones and wallpapers, I suggest myxer.com. They will send it from the internet to your phone. Another thing that I like about this phone is that contacts are easy to add. You can customize the layout of this phone by simply dragging and dropping, which is very easy to do. Virtual qwerty is easy to type on, I rarely hit he wrong key. Music player is great. all of my previous phones have had 2.5 mm headphone jacks which are pointless. This has a standard 3.5mm which means your iPod headphones can fit. The screen is easy to unlock, all you have to do is tap the lock icon in the bottom left of the screen.

Pros- good touch screen, good calling, good qwerty, customizability, camera, easy to add contacts, good tools such as calculator, stop watch, tip calculator, and my favorite, the drawing pad.

Cons- space bar on standard keyboard is not in normal spot, (positioned more towards right side), videos can only be 30 seconds long

All in all, this phone is great for everyone, I am a teenager who constantly texts and listen to music, but it is not too complicated, because my mom can operate it.

it was good with only minor issues.
By Jose Bassist on June 21, 2011
this was one of the few phone you could get that was touch screen but required no data plan at the time. i loved the size because i hate massive/heavy phones in my pocket. in all the time i had it, i really took care of it and only dropped it twice ever in the begining. i had it for almost the two years before out of no where the touch screen became non responsive and later the phone stopped accepting any calls. overall, i really liked this phone and was bummed out that verizon wasn't willing to replace it with the same one as they stopped carrying this phone. the only issues i had with it was that it's an early resistive touch screen and the screen is kinda small so my fingers would hit keys i didn't want to or moving the cursor while texting was a pain. my girl still has the exact same phone i did and uses her nails because it's more accurate, she has no problems texting like i did. i'm not sure what caused my phone to crap out on me because my girl's phone is still going strong. i guess i was unlucky. a good phone despite my issues and i would recommend it if you don't want a data plan but want a touch screen...and have small girl fingers.

My favorite phone
By Conrad McConrad on December 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I refuse to pay for data plans (I'm constantly around wi-fi so data plans don't do much for me). But, I also wanted a decent phone. It seems all of the new non-data phones are garbage; hence I've been switching phones as soon as possible with my verizon contract. I just barely got a LG Cosmos 2 (with necessary contract extension) and then my 2 year old dropped it into a glass of water, while I was out. I wasn't too disappointed, but needed a new phone. I started to look for non-contract phones and saw this one listed. I am so happy I did!

PROS
I love the touch screen and that it doesn't dial or access apps while in my pocket

Voice clarity is great

features are great

it's smallish and fits easily in my pocket. Most of the time I forget it's there

It's easy to use

I think texting is so much easier and faster than on the Cosmos

NO DATA PLAN!

CONS

None. I love this phone! It's been my favorite since I started using cell phones way back in 2000.

Reliable non-smartphone

Wanted a non-smart phone as a backup. So far it's been pretty reliable. I would recommend it as an alternative if you don't wish to pay for data or for your younger teens.
