Do I have to have a cell phone to use it as a regular cell phone? Or can it be used as a cell phone with the SIM Card. Or smarter w/both ?

you can use it both bluetooth and simcard in it but u need a headset cause the speaker is not loud enough especially when ure driving.

It's a stand alone phone or a Bluetooth attachment to your phone. Put your Sim card in the watch n it does everything a phone can do, if not just attach it to your phone as a smart watch and you can answer calls and text from it

the cell phone has it's own built in sim card and proprietory electronic id system. i think you may want to find one with interchangeable sim card technology which allows for overseas use. i'm not a techie , but the phone is very nice.

I have a local regular (mini?) sim card in there now, but it has slots for two sim cards. I'm also using a thumb drive that I load 'time' onto for my internet here in the Philippines. The thumb drive uses a sim card as well, it encases a micro sim card, which I have to insert into the cellphone to receive the load, so long story short, I guess it takes both. Hope that wasn't too confusing!

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.

A sim card is optional, not necessary. This is a good little phone, I love it. If you have any other questions, e-mail me! :)

This particular phone is a regular telephone.you have the option of using it as a regular phone or a Bluetooth device. You can also put it on a prepaid plan...using a Sim card..T-mobil or another one.

I live in 3 countires, Canada, US and Mexico. I would like a phone that I can use without a contract (pay as you go) without changing phones. currently I have 6 pay as you go phones. Can I buy sim cards for this phone and use them as pay as you go in these 3 countries?

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!

It requires a CDMA card if you're getting Verizon service, as opposed to the GSM SIM card that a lot of cell phone companies require. I only remember going to a Verizon store, and they took care of loading it for me.

It uses a regular SIM but the phone does not work properly. The other end has difficulty hearing you at times and reception is terrible. I would not recommend it to no one.

I didn't know it needed a SIM card either. Had to purchase separately, may not have bought this device had I known

Yes, it's a smart phone. It needs a data plan in case you want to use the internet features outside of a wi-fi network. If not, you can use it with wi-fi only.

Its a regular phone but its just secondary in relationship to the original one. You can make calls from either device, as long as you have both.

Yes, to use the phone, you will need a provider. You can use ATT or Consumer Cellular. Others may also work. The phone is set up for ATT so might work best with them. You would have to go on-line to find instructions on how to use the features on the phone since mine ( and I got 4) did not come with any. Hope this helps.

It's not a prepaid phone. Is UNLOCKED- which means that this phone can be used as a replacemant phone for under contract, or as a prepaid phone. IN bouth cases you will need the SIM card : An used sim card if you do have previous contract or a New sim card that you dont have one, and you can buy for $10 prepaid near you. Its a good mobile but it does not come with a sim card.
