I'm pretty sure you can't, a couple of years ago Verizon started requiring smartphones to have a data plan if they wanted to be used on the network. You might be able to convince a customer service rep to let it slide.

I am 99% sure that they will force you to add a data plan ($29.99) to your account if you activate a data phone. The Trophy is a data phone.
