Yes. Depending on your service provider, a data plan (the internet connection) is an additional monthly charge--I have ATT and it's an extra $10-20 depending on the plan you have. However, you can still access the internet on a a per/kb basis. ATT charges $0.10 per kb downloaded, so the charge depends on how long you're accessing the internet and whether you're downloading any content.
If you're planning on using the internet a lot and you don't already have a service provider, I suggest going with Boost mobile or something similar. It's a pay as you go plan, but you get unlimited data, texting, media messaging and minutes for like, $50 a month. No current service plan can beat that price. BUT, you should know that since it's a pay as you go program, you have to choose one of their phone options. Not every phone will work on their network...
