Okay, so while i'm buying the thunderbolt i need something without a data plan for the second phone on my family plan. I was just gonna go with a cheap feature phone but then i realized that i could get a phone of ebay for cheap. So, i'm looking to buy either an og droid or the lg ally but will verizon make me get a data plan anyway?
Will verizon force me to take a data plan if i buy a phone off of ebay?

All Smartphones that are activated on Verizon require a data plan and the data plan will be automatically be put on your plan when the phone is activated. No matter where you purchase it from. You best bet is to buy a cheap regular phone and put that on your secondary line
A better question would be why even buy an android phone and not use it for data?

She wants a smartphone with a nice camera and stuff but she doesn't even have a facebook and $30 a month is way too much for something she'll never use
No, it's not. Different people have different needs/wants. That question was old well before Android ever appeared on the market (posted countless times on BB forums over the years).
Besides, data can be obtained via WiFi as well. The carrier's data network isn't the only option. Not to mention, there are plenty of stand-alone uses for Android devices.
Doesnt verizon have their tierd data plans out already where you get 200mb of data for $15?

Not that i can see. I know they're getting rid of unlimited data in the summer though and adding tiers.
Verizon no longer has the tiered data plans you have to have a data plan to run a smartphone no matter where you bought it if it is a smartphone there is a data plan no way to get around it unless you just get a multimedia device and have a 9.99 data plan
