You will need a cellular service plan:

  1. To make and receive phone calls
  2. To send and receive text messages
  3. To use apps that require data (although you may use these apps with just a Wi-Fi Network)

If the items above are important to you then you need a cellular plan. If not, then you can use all other apps over a Wi-Fi Network only.
