Is it possible to use the device through a wireless network, in the absence of a data connection or a SIM set up for use with mobile data.

Hi, Yes you can use this device connecting to wireless network when you don't hace mobile access. In Settings->Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi, you are able to turn on the Wi-Fi, and see the available networks.Regards,

Yes you can but you will need to get a local sim card first to be used with the device.

Although I purchased the phone for my daughter, and we don't use the phone for Internet, I believe the phone is capable of using data and wifi. Many of the features can't be used without it.

Yes. Access anything you want thru WIFI as well. Games and music without WIFI.

I only use mine with WiFi, if you are not near a WiFi you would need a data plan and make your phone a hot spot to connect, but no, you don't need a data plan.

You can only use what is downloaded to the tablet without a wifi connection otherwise you have to purchase a data plan. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

Yes that means you can use the sim card for the device since wifi is not common in the countryfor your internet

Depends upon what you mean. You can use it as a router without an active SIM. You just can't use it for calling.

Yes you can. Wifi is a connection to your home network, many phones have wireless capability these days. It will keep you from using your data.

No, you cannot even have the phone activated without data or a data package, so it's basically worthless to purchase without getting data.

I think it is possible. I'm currently use the LycaMobile sim on my 4G tabket without monrhly plan.

like any wifi device, you don't use your mobile 3G data plan when connected to wifi, but you must have authorized access to the specific wifi network you are connecting to

No, I don't think you can use any kind of SIM, because this tablet does not have a SIM slot.

You can use any smartphone features without a sim card. You just won't be able to call or text people.

The phone can be used as a wifi device without a sim card. However, if you want to download any apps you have to have a SIM card.

Yes.I have done that with mine. You just put in your existing SIM and it will be fine for voice and messaging. I only get data service when connecting through wifi though.

Yes, but it'll use a LOT of minutes if you use it without wifi, and even with wifi most sites won't load that great. It's a basic phone, not like an android or anything.
