Upgrading Phone On VZW

[jadesse]

I would like to get rid of my Vogue for a new device but I have two problems.

1. My vogue is used for business purposes & I bought it off of ebay & had my company activate it.

2. I have no data plan with my phone but have a wireless card in my laptop.

When I went into VZW last year to purchase the Touch Pro I was told that I would have to have a data plan. This is even though I was going to buy the phone without a contract.

If I buy a phone off of ebay would I still be required to have a data plan? Perhaps I should consult our company rep.

If you have a unlimited data plan on a wireless card you would think they could give you data on a cell phone for free.
