The Apple IPad mini is sold with both capabilities. If all you want to do is run it off a wireless router, then buy the IPad with just the WiFi as it will cost less. I have a data plan with AT&T; that costs me $10 a month. And it works with my wireless router at home or away just great too.

Regardless of what kind of iPad mini it is (wether it has wifi or cell signal) it doesn't require you to activate it. If it has cellular capability, then you can purchase a monthly plan starting at 15.00 a month. Other wise, both types of mini are useable with a wireless router.

The charger will work with the different voltage as long as you have a plug adapter and Wi-Fi is a world wide standard so the pad will work with your 802.11abg. As for buying apps at the apple app store, i do not believe they use geotargeting to limit purchases so, as long as you are willing to use a credit card that can be charged American dollar, you should be good to go.

Hello, I have the Apple iPad 16GB Wi-Fi and it charges just fine. Hope this helps.

I think it means that you can access a wireless plan through AT&T.; This is usually a monthly few and will allow you to use your iPad without being connected to wi-fi. However, you can turn off your 4g and only use wi-fi at no extra fee. I hope that makes sense and helps!

You can use just your wifi, which is what we use. It is a great ipad, our second, and my husband uses it daily!

No, the iPod touch is NOT a "phone". Activation is via Apple's iTunes website. You are confusing this mobile device with the iPhone. Both are WiFi enabled, however the iPhone also supports Internet access via ATT cellular network called "EDGE". To access the Internet from a WiFI device, you can do so with the iPod touch either via a wireless home network, or a public hotspot, such as in most McDonald's restaurants and Starbucks. If you are an existing ATT DSL Internet subscriber, you can gain basic service hotspot access "free" via the ATT WiFi network. All you need to do is take your iPod touch to within 150 feet of one of these establishments and select "AttWiFI" as the Network SSID to connect to, then launch your iPod touch Safari browser and try to connect to any Internet website. In the process, Safari will be redirected to the ATT WiFi network access login home screen. Enter you existing ATT DSL subscriber user name and password. If you are NOT already an ATT DSL Internet subscriber, you can still gain public hotspot WiFi Internet access but first you will have to sign up for an account and pay a monthly charge. You can also login by redeeming an ATT gift (or prepaid) card, or paying for limited access with I believe is around $8 per day, or 3 or 4 bucks per two hour session. Of course, there is nothing about any of this in Apple's user guide for the iPod touch. But, for such a WiFi intensive mobile device, this is the kind of thing people need to know to use their iPod touch to its full potential wherever you go.

That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service. If you have a service provider it insure you have internet connection wherever that company has service. I personally did not want to spend the extra money, so my iPad just has wifi which means I can connect to any other service provider that's not looked. You can connect to your home internet if you have a wireless modem or wifi, also pretty much every public place you go has free wifi. Starbucks, McDonalds, Library, Mall, most restaurants and hotels...etc. Hope this helps:) That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service.

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T. T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.

It does not require a contract and will work with wifi for updates. It will even work with your iPod Touch.

I am sorry but I don't have an apple router. So I am unable to speak on that. I do have a NetGear router that it connected automatically with. I set it up as an access point and it works great. Since I have a kind of long house and the router is at one end. This has greatly extended our wireless signal in our home. A access point is the best way to go, since it connects to our router by a Cat 6 internet cable so you don't lose part of your bandwidth when you set it up as a WiFi range extender.

Its never paid upfront :( the only option is to find one that is both wifi+at&t; (Or another carrier) and then pay the monthly fee.

You have to pay for the internet if is that what you are asking, the iPad comes with a SIM card slot to activate a data plan with the mobile company you want, and also you can connect to any Wifi network if you have the login credentials or if the wifi is provided as free by an establishment. (your friend's house, the college campus, Starbucks, Panera Bread, etc)

apple has great customer support, 3 days you are still under warranty and the wireless connection should be seamless. contact apple support

no you do not have to pay ATT to activate. the phone is unlocked i assume. my girlfriend swapped her sim card and it worked fine. didnt even have to notify ATT or anything.

You have a choice with that. If you are ok with just having web access at home, then just connect it to your wifi with no additional fee. If you was web access/texting, etc available while away from home, you will have a monthly fee just like a cell phone.

I have AT&T; as my phone provider. However, My wifi and Internet connection is with Time Warner. If I were you, I would carefully read the description of the iPad before purchasing it. The great thing about Amazon is you can purchase the iPad and if it is not what you expect, you can send it back. I hope this helps
