Does this phone require a data plan?

Hello to anyone who is reading this! I am wanting to get a new phone because the one I have currently is falling apart. My parents say that if I get a smartphone I will have to pay the $30ish a month for the data plan, so I'm looking at basic phones. I have come across a no contract verizon cellphone called the 'LG VX11000 enV Touch' on ebay. I was just curious if this required a data plan? Some people in discussions have said it does, and some have said the opposite.

No, the enV Touch doesn't require a data plan on a post-paid account.  You may have to put a data block on the phone, though.  If buying off ebay, just ensure that it's Verizon branded with a clean ESN.
