I do not have Wi FI or I don't have a smart phone type of a a phone. Do I need either of these for the fitbit?

No. The fitbit's wireless connection is not wi fi. It communicates wirelessly with its base station which you plug into a usb port on your computer. Your computer does need an internet connection to upload the data though. It can even be dialup internet, as long as you understand that the data would only be uploaded when you're actually connected (which you would be when you're checking the website anyway!).

Plug the dongle into your computer. Download Fitbit and it will walk you thru it.

No, the zip does not track stairs. You would need one of the other Fitbits for that

Both miles and steps are available on the Fitbit Zip. They reset to zero at midnight,

It's not necessary, but in order to have full functionality, it will need to be connected to the internet via wi-fi. Without a wi-fi connection, you will only be able to make & receive calls & texts and use offline apps (like games).

you may use either or as long as you're inside your home or close to your wifi system. As far as being away from your home and monitoring with this device .. I have not figured out yet. Hope this helps

Hi, unfortunately this is not compatible with the Fitbit system; however, please note there is a manual upload for any entries you would like to add one at a time.

You download the FitBit App. and then just link the fit bit to your phone. It is very easy user friendly menu on the App.

No, you need the SIM (with an internet plan) only if you don't have WIFI access.

Wifi is for the gps to get weather, gas prices & other features. Navigation works without wifi. You can use home networks or public ones such as at McDonalds. If there's a map update, then you use the provided USB cord & computer. Bottom line: if you never connect it to wifi, it would still work, but you'd miss out on the features that make it different from other models.

WiFi only. means you are not a hot spot, so if you connected to your phone you would be able to be mobile, otherwise you need a wifi connection. Your GPS would not work without this.

Yes on the website. Everything is sent via blue tooth to the Fitbit website.

No but you don't really need that... You will have your device in your hand remember its wireless.

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!
