Nope. When you buy the phone:

1.) in store with a real person: "we're sorry, but you HAVE to get a data plan with that phone because of x,y,z"

2.) Online: When purchasing the phone, you'll see a page to select the data plan, for most phones, there are only 2 options, the 45$ and the 30$ data packages. The two I listed above will have a 3rd option "pay as you go" or something similar to that. If you don't select an option, you'll get an error and have to select the option again.
