do you have to have a contract and pay for the 3g like you do on your android phone?

You can buy the phone full price. Then you can pay at&t; or whoever month to month fee for nerwork service without being in a contract with the service.

No, you do not have to have a carrier for this tablet to work as long as you WiFi from another wireless internet source. But, if you did want coverage everywhere, no need for a contract, just have it added to your current cell phone plan through your provider.

No, this one works with WiFi. It will only work with a wireless router in your house or at a public WiFi spot like Starbucks.

Not at all. It's just like a home computer. Runs off wifi. Just log in to your home acct or anywhere that has it, which is pretty much every where & ur good to go. I love the one I bought. Very happy

In order to be connected to the internet you have to have wifi available and have the wifi turned on the tablet. The tablet is 3g enabled as long as you have internet.

You can have the Samsung Galaxy III activated at either T Mobile or Metro PCS with no contract. I'm not sure about AT&T;, they do have no contract plans but I believe T Mobile or Metro PCS would be the better choice.

I bought for for some children. It is only used for games and through Wi Fi. I do believe you have to pay someone for 3g service.

It needs a data plan, but you don't need a contract to get it in service. Very quirky though. If you have other choices, go with another phone. Tends to go off line a lot. and locks up to the point where you have to take the battery out to reset.

Yes. Just take it to your us cellular store and they'll put it on your contact. It's just called a "no contract phone" because you don't HAVE to have a contract in order to buy the phone.

Yes. The phone you use doesn't matter as long as it's a Verizon phone, of course. Verizon wants to make sure they keep providing you phone service, that's the real reason for the contract. Good luck if you purchase the phone:-)

Yes you can if fact last time I activated the phone that was the only plan they had they did away with the other like the 70.00 dollar one. I went Verizon contract because the phones u get with pre paid r 3 year old phones so if anything goes wrong u will need to buy another.

Yes and no. There are 3 no-contract plans you can choose. Just go to their website and you'll see them, but you can choose when to add money. They have really good prices compared to other carriers.

You can purchase AT&T; 3G or 4G without any contract - just as needed. If you have wi-fi available, you can shut off the cellular data. I switch back and forth at my convenience.

Yes, however it's not a contract agreement. Basically you pay for it when you want to use it, by the month. It's $60 a month.

Yes you can. But as far as data goes, you'll only get 2G EDGE at best. The phone is much better on AT&T or a MVNO that uses ATT towers such as Net10. Then you'll at least pull in 3G. Hope this helped!!

No if the game is a downloaded app. Streaming data on the web no charge against your minutes as long as you are connected to wi-fi, but it uses minutes for text and calls; however Check setting to see if there is a way to disable 3g. Be sure wifi is on. You should not get charged for internet. If the phone uses the phones 3g network you will always lose min. And unless they have a voip app for these java based phones you will always be charged for calls. Know too that even if there are voip apps for these phones unless you call on wi-fi it will still deduct from your time/units. Tracfone is pretty much a dedicated time service. They only offer a few phones with wi-fi most of their phone with any activity talk,text,data would cost you. So unless you have the phone set to use wifi data only you stand a chance of using you time/units.

You can use it just as a wifi device. It's a pay-as-you-go phone so there is no contract. If you wanted to use it as a phone you would just activate it through Virgin Mobile and then choose a plan that fits you ($35 = 300 minutes/unlimited data + messaging, $45 = 1200 minutes/unlimited data + messaging and $55 = unlimited everything). I used this with my wifi for a month before I switched from my old phone.

AT&T; smart go phone can't use for contract, they may charge you the data fee.but any smart phone other than go phone, it is o.k. to use "wifi" without paying the data plan fee.just insert your sim card into the phone. I have a family plan with AT&T;, no data plan, my smart phone just use the wifi signal, it works fine.
