verizon problem

[bozbeast]

i have a verizon vogue and i now want to purchase a htc ozone
but they say for me to purchase the ozone i need to purchase the 30 dollar a month data plan.
i was wondering is there a way i can buy an ozone without paying for a data plan.
do i need to buy an unlocked version from a website?
or go to a different store and buy it?
is there any way to get the phone with just calling and texting like my htc vogue?

there is no way to do that.
I just went through all that too.

I have never tried it & I am not going to give you any links. You could buy the ozone off of ebay & then clone the ESN of your vogue to it. VZW shouldn't have a clue.

IO have seen some good threads over at XDA-Developers.
