I have only paid for talk and text, here in the USA. I refuse to get gouged by the cell companies that charge for data. I have had a cell phone since 1999 or so and never had a data plan. Anytime I need data, it's always wifi, whether it's at home, at work, at a restaurant, etc. When I tell people I only pay $13.76 a month, they immediately want to switch and then I tell them it's talk and text only, and it doesn't include data, they say "nevermind". I guess if you need it for your job, that's one thing, but I don't see why people pay an extra $40-$50/month for data. That just seems so strange and bizarre to me.
