Okay so I am starting to look at phones again because I am about ready for an upgrade, I really only want it if it has a touch screen because that is what I am used to but I could downgrade if I really liked the phone. I am just really frustrated at the fact that all these phones require a data plan! I don't need a data plan all I need is a texting plan. Is there any good phones out there that don't require data plans? I currently have a Palm Centro and I don't have a data plan I actually even have the internet blocked funny enough. Also I was wondering if I were to buy a phone like used over the internet on craigslist or a local sale site could I buy say the Instinct HD and have it activated without a data plan? I know this is allot of questions but I really need your help Thanks so much.
