can this phone be used without service to get wifi?

Yes just connect it to a router like a normal phone and it can do the same things on the net
1371773
No, you need a service provider for it to have and use wifi. I hsve tried on various other phones with same results.
1371774
Yes I just got it today and haven't activated it yet because I still have my Sprint Kyocera Torque active and Wi-Fi picks right up

No this phone does not need internet to operate, although you can have internet on a US Cellular plan, you can also access a wireless network to have internet on this phone.

Sure. You can use with a non data plan and use the phone to browse when you are connected to wifi.

if you are asking if it has 3g, 4g, or lte. it does not. if you have game or books on it and you download them to the tablet. then yes you can use it without wifi.

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

No, you may not use this as a phone, but you can install an application that will allow you to talk over wifi. (But you probably will need to buy minutes)

You have to have a data plan with a carrier in order to use wireless without a router. If you are within range of wifi connection and know the password (some dont require a password) you can use that service. The data plan is handy when you're on the road. Most public places have wifi available. Your device will ask you which service you want to use

Yes, you can use it as a ipod, meaning using it with wifi without having at&t; service.

Im not sure, but we just use it without a SIM card and with WiFi and that works just as well.

you don't have to have a data plan with this phone. I don't have a data plan because of the cost. You can access wifi spots though.

No, it is not. Which means you are not required to get a data plan with it. However, as many other non-smart phones it can connect to internet. If you want to avoid any extra charges, you can go under settings and just disable data transfer completely.
1529591
Yes, You can. Right now I also don't need a sim card and didn't get one. So I use it only with Wi-Fi without any problems
720621
Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.
1292528
Yes you can still use them with no wifi. It can still be configured. But without Internet service you will not be able to view them on devices unattached( I.e. cell phones or off site computer)

Hi, I answered this a couple moments ago but inadvertently deleted my answer. Maybe you received it before that. If not, here goes again. Yes, the device may be used as a Wi-Fi Internet device without a cellular account. I'm not sure if you mean will it function as a stand-alone Internet device, as any other computing device, and the answer is yes, it will. If you mean will it function as a telephone without a cellular account, again the answer is yes. To do this, specialized software applications are necessary. In my experience, and I have this on my phone - it works great - the best is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talkatone.android. It is free on the Google Play Store, all that is needed is a Google account. The application is free, as are certain number of calls per month. additional credits are very cheap (much, much, much less than cellular fees). With it, you will be able to make calls within range of any Wi-Fi connection, i.e., home routers, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc. The HTC EVO 4G LTE is a super device, big, high resolution screen, powerful processor, lots of memory. I (Droid Redux) have several LTEs for sale on Amazon at the moment, most in the Refurbished category. They are beautiful cosmetically, scratch free, and tested 100% operational. If you do buy one of these devices, I hope you will look at mine while deciding. Regards, Bruce (Droid Redux)

You would have to have a wired network, since this phone does not have a WiFi antenna.

Not unless you want to use it when you don't have WiFi access. Just use your phone as a hotspot if you can and connect to it that way.
