Does playing games on wifi use minutes?

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.

this is a loaded question. it depends on what you use it for, i.e. if you're going to play games from 100% to 5% you'll get maybe 4 hours. reading e-books or PDFs will get you over 6. it all comes down to what apps are running in the background, if any, your brightness, volume, vibration if any, etc. there is no definite answer.

I don't use wifi for the DS. There are TONS of games that you can play against the " computer " and/or single player games.

WiFi is built in and it is fast enough for quite a variety of games. It is my son's computer and he plays a lot on it.

The battery life is about 2-3 hours for me with wi-fi on. I have played Minecraft on this and it gives a decent fps with little lag.

Wi Fi is available if U R in a Wi Fi area. U need to tell the phone U R using Wi Fi in the setup area. Anything U do is free unless U go on a paid site to download a paid game. Most of the games on the free sites are quite boring. I believe that most internet functions are available. The draw back is that the screen is rather small and it is very difficult to read anything, I found myself moving the screen around to read, an gave up and went on my computer. The phone itself is really Great. If U Do Not tell setup that U are using WiFi, U will be charged. There is a light on the upper line that lights up letting U know is U are using Wi Fi.

If you mean, can you play against the computer? Yes. I don't think you need an Internet connection at all, except to download the game.

Yes. You can set player one to have 10 minutes for the game, and player two to have 5 minutes, or any other interval. It is fully adjustable. It takes only a few moments to make the setting.

Yes the games works just fine without WiFi...at least the ones I have downloaded do. Hope this helps.

Some of the games/apps seem to require WiFi. However there are some that don't. Of course it took a little more time for some things to load but yes, for the most part it does seem to work using the 3g network.

It means you can connect to wifi WITHOUT using their browser and without using any minutes. However I have not been using that function so I dont know how well it works.

I usually get about 3 to 4 hours. It just depends on what I am doing. If I am just reading or playing a slow paced game it will last longer than if I am playing a fast paced game which is what I am usually doing. Good Luck.

I've used it while plugged in for several hours. Don't know about unlimited play time. I would think you could.
