if you hook it up to the internet do you have to pay for phone service ?

Yes, but paying for phone service in my area was cheaper than any VOIP service that the cable/internet company could offer.

No, you don't have to. That's optional. I'm currently using it without cell service.

No. But you do have to have access to a network connection. So for example if you're staying in a hotel which has poor wi-fi (I just stayed in such a place recently) but there is a wired internet connection, you can simply hook this up and have your own wi-fi connection. If you're planning on using this for your home network, there would be the normal monthly internet connection fee through your cable or telephone or satellite TV company. But that monthly charge happens whether you're using this device or not.

You do have to pay for the phone and the service but not the activation. You have to pay extra for voice mail and if you use the operator.

@ Cindy, yes you can but more than likely you will have to pay for the tethering from your phone service provider.

Yes! In order to access the internet, you have to have an unlocked sims-card! It isn't a good phone tho, so I wouldn't recommended no one to buy it!

No. You could run internet to a hub and install a VOIP Phone like Vonage that runs over the internet

I am sorry this is an internet phone and can only be plugged into the internet. you will also need to get a provider to provide the service for you.

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

If you mean for the phone itself? No. Land line service doesn't automatically come with it though, but it doesn't have to be AT&T.; The phone line you will have to pay for.

I pay monthly to my service provider. I do not need internet in my phone so downloading is not an option but its a good simple phone. I like it.

It does not need a phone line. It needs an Ethernet connection to your modem or router.

No... But you can do it wirelessly. Call your internet provider to turn on WiFi. then your phone will be connected to the Internet .

This takes the cable to internet. You would need a separate device provided by the VoiP provider for the phone service.

No internet connection needed, it will boost the lower frequency phone signal as well as a high frequency data signal. Which will allow you to use your data as well as voice.
