I get the run around from my local verizon store on this constantly, I get that the status of this question changes but even during times when I've been told no data plan is required they won't activate it for me without a data plan. I've just had a phone completely break and I'm willing to drive further out to a different and hopefully better store with customer service reps who don't try to relentlessly upsell me. At this time can I use an LG Envy 3 without a data plan?
