Do I have top sign up with AT&amp;T for a contract service or can I just buy service when I need it? Will it work just on Wi-Fi if I dont want 3g or 4g

You can purchase AT&T 3G or 4G without any contract - just as needed. If you have wi-fi available, you can shut off the cellular data. I switch back and forth at my convenience.

Yes it doesnt matter if the phone is a 2g,3g, or 4g. It the network and service in your area that gives you the service. Iv came to find that out with so many providers after the years. But now i just stick with at&t.; They are a good service and provider in my area. Thank you

I don't think there is a contract, but we got ours with our AT&T; home phone service, a call to the local AT&T; store should be able to tell you if you need a contract. You do have to do some online registration, and let it know which phones can connect to it. I don't know how many phones numbers are allowed.

Some people mean different things when they say "no-contract". For my personal experience, I ordered this phone to replace a Verizon Droid Razr HD phone that had a cracked screen. I am under contract with Verizon, but was unable to upgrade to a new phone without paying an arm & a leg. I purchased this phone right after Christmas & switched my service over on New Year's Eve. It is under contract, but I did not have to renew my contract. I actually think I will probably never renew again & purchase a phone. I think I will keep the plan I have & continue buying phones from other places than Verizon. I don't know if this helps you, but maybe it will.

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.

I think it depends, you can always inquire about it with them. I buy the Verizon phones without contracts and my prepaid service flashes it over to their network.

AT&T; smart go phone can't use for contract, they may charge you the data fee.but any smart phone other than go phone, it is o.k. to use "wifi" without paying the data plan fee.just insert your sim card into the phone. I have a family plan with AT&T;, no data plan, my smart phone just use the wifi signal, it works fine.

hello my friend. to tell you the truth, you will have to go to your local sprint dealer to ask that one. remember that all of these little wireless devices have a chip in them that are only on the frequency that the provider is dealing with. i use the virgin broadband system. you can use this through bestbuy, or activate it online at virgin mobile. it is soooo easy. no contract. i use the 6 month plan at $120.00 per month. i use this thing everywhere at 4g speed. it is great!!!! you can buy this box on amazon. well, good luck what ever you decide. walter at f411@live.com

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.

I think the SIM card has to be that of your service provider and you need to call whoever you choose as your service provider to activate it. In my case, my SIM card was provided by AT & T and I called them to set up monthly service for my phone. They sent me a special device to connect my phone to and convert this land-line phone to wireless service. Good luck!

You have the tmobile at home service that's $10/month, they no longer offer the service. Its been discontinued if you previously signed up for it, all you need is a sim and a router.

This is no contract pay as you go. They do have plans if you want a package of services like voice, text and data, or you can just pay for what you use. This service is actually a reseller of network T-Mobile so be sure that the T-Mobile network has coverage where you plan to use you phone with this SIM

Just follow the instructions with the unit and it is pretty straight forward. No contract is needed and will work on any phone that uses the AT&T; network. I have my wife's Straight Talk phone on it as well. My Windstream broadband sucks so I have to reset the Microcell often but it works well in the house. It tells you in the instructions if the internet provider has less than 1 meg download speed the unit may not work.

I don't believe AT&T has sim cards. I already had T-mobile service, so that is why I selected that vendor. You can choose any vendor that issues sim cards. as for basic line services, should be like 10$/month. The unit will accept line lines if you already have one, but if lan line is cut by intruder or service is down, the unit will not call out.

It prompts you to sign a plan with a pre-set carrier (Verizon, AT&T;, or T-Mobile, I think, depending on which version you buy) each time you boot it up, but you can just skip past that if you want. If you want a contract, you have to sign with the carrier for whom your phone is pre-set.Xaurent is right, though, that there are MUCH better phones / android devices on the market right now.

Yea it does when there is service. If your in a city that gets good service from T-mobile the phone works great. there are some at&t features you can't use though since u will be on a t-mobile service plan
