Can you travel in deserted areas and still receive wifi ? Like if I'm driving to chicago in the middle of no where will i be connected to my phone?

http://www.freedompop.com/coverage make sure you UNcheck 3G and 4G LTE, only WiMax should be checked. I had a weird experience driving from SF towards Bakerfield. Had a signal on most of the I-5. Coming back I had -no- signal... finally worked out that southbound 5 ranges from 8 to 40 feet higher than northbound.

Double check their coverage map, but probably NO. They only have satisfactory service in large cities and practically nothing outside of that.

I bought the Bad Elf for navigating beyond cellular range. It works very well when there is no cell coverage available. I live in Alaska and our network is limited.

Thank you SO much -- I can't believe how difficult this information is to find! Neither Apple nor ATT are helpful at all. You are so right in saying this should be included in the documentation. What's the big secret? I'm still a bit confused -- are you saying that with the iPod Touch, it is not possible to have internet access anywhere *but* near hotspots, or in my own wireless home network? But that with the iPhone, internet access (via cellular network) is more widespread, like a cellphone?

Yes it can. I travel a lot and you just have to have the ability to sign in to the WIFI where ever you are.

As long as you have a WiFi source to connect to (and the proper login information (ie: Password)), this wireless adapter can simply be plugged in and connected to the Internet. This device IS NOT a mobile hotspot that uses Cellular signals. It is merely a Wifi adapter.

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

Hi Barbra, If you have wifi you really won't need a data plan but, you can add one. And, also gps.

With wi-fi accessibility, do you need to have a provider (AT&T or T-Mobile) data plan in place (to access something like myspace or other)? What is the least expensive way to go, if you have any idea? I am in NY and do not travel much, but my child is spoiled by the sidekick and we had to cut the web, leaving texting open. It doesn't state it has AIM either. It seems AT&T is better in the no-choice game, but since we have a family network already on T-Mobile and unlimited texting and free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calls, I am not sure there is a savings. Please...its on sale today :)

As long as it has a current map loaded and you can receive a signal where your going... You should be able too...

WiFi means it can only be used where there is a wireless internet connection (such as your house or coffeeshop, if available). You cannot connect to a cellular data plan such as Verizon. This is the WiFi only version

Nope, but as another individual stated, if you have the resources you can convert your cell phone into a hotspot to get the connectivity you want. Actually had to do this when I moved -- the connectivity in the hotel was garbage and wasn't secured. Using my cell worked out well, but cost me a bit more per month.

It's a data plan so it can be online anywhere. With hotspots nearly everywhere, unless you live in a remote locale, I'd skip it. But that's me.

Hi friend As far as I know,Most of the maps can work only if GPS location is on. Yes you can use maps if you are using wifi or wimax but the moment you switch off wifi it will stop showing the details!

When you are in range of a wifi hot spot the tablet should give you a list of connection you should be able to enter a network password and connect I have the same tablet I also bought it in the states I have problems connecting it to any including Mexico good luck

no. there are plenty of apps (at least for IOS) that does not rely on wifi/cell access
