Hi. The 6700 does not require you to purchase a Data Plan. You can block it or get it on a pay as you go for 1.5 cents per KB or 45 dollars per month for unlimited usage. The 6700 is at a disadvantage becuase the 6800 on up can use the 30 dollar email and web plan. If he were to wanna do internet the 6800 would be a better phone for him. The pay as you go is the worst route to go. Either get a block or get a plan. Beware though that some reps might tell you that it is required on ALL PDA phones since the 11/14/08 change in policy. Tell them too look it over again, it states that phones released before that date do NOT require it. Hope this helps
