This is what it shows for my phone on verizon's site.
Yes I have an alltel smartphone plan with unlimited data.
If it does work for you without a smartphone plan you will want to make sure that all data is off from the phone or you will end up being billed.
If this helps... I had a motorola Q on a non-data plan with no problems. I was never charged any extra data charges. They activated it over the phone, I just neglected to mention what kind of phone it was.
