nop... atleast thats how i have it set up on mine. I bought my VX6700 from a friend and they activated it without having to have the smart phone fee. The only downside is not having picture messages or video messages //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gifNot to thread jack, but had a quick question on verizon plans- if you have a non smart phone plan, but acquire a smart phone elsewhere, do you need to upgrade to the +30$ smartphone plan as well?
I know if you buy the smartphone from verizon you need to activate it with a equivalent plan...but what if you get it from on here, etc?
