duh...if it has a touchscreen, 9 times out of 10 its an android, if not a smartphone. any android or smartphone required a 30 dollar data plan with verizon. now, if you get lucky and do find that 1 in 10th phone that has a touch screen, it will almost DEFINENTLY not have a keyboard. so in short the answer to your questoin is no. besides verison is pretty expensive. if u cant afford a data plan, go with sprint or t mobile, both pretty good coverage and reasonably cheap.
