Do i have to sign a contract with AT&T or can you use this unit without signing up with AT&T?

Nope, I just use WiFi for mine and have never been asked to sign a contract.

Since you're not purchasing it from AT&T;, you're not obligated to anything with them. You can use it solely on wifi or sign a month to month with AT&T.;

I apologize for the late reply but Yes, you can just activate this phone without being charged or renewing your contract.

If you purchase the system via Amazon, you don't need to make any contract.... you can choose later between sign a contract with any security company that supports that system or leave it without contract.... I particularly bough and install the system, then couple months after made the contract with a security company... I hope it helps!

If the phone is unlocked then no it does not have to have an AT&T plan. I have two Bursts that are unlocked and I have Straight Talk plans. You will need a SIM card from your provider which you will have to install in the phone. Easy to do. There is also some set up your provider will tell you how to do. One annoying thing is that the phone is branded for AT&T therefore there are AT&T apps on the phone that you cannot remove.

You get sim card from the provider to buy the data from. I bought data from AT&T;, they will activate it with a sim card for free, you just buy the data.

Both. With Verizon you can use it with or w/out a data contract. I use it without.

as long as I have a SIM card that is valid and fits the phone, no difference. a no contract is like an ATT go Phone, or walmarts NET 10. you don't sign a contract and you pay as you go,

You have AT&T; SIM card coming with the Tablet, that could be activated on AT&T; cell network, but do not required.You can use it on WiFi without Cell connection. You have WiFi and Mobil Network(Cell) built-in, but you can chose how it will connect. Hope it helps...

To be honest I have no clue. I bought it brand new here on amazon and took it straight to AT&T; they put it in, charged $40 unlimited everything and I was out the door. I will get book an paper work right now and see if it says. Sorry couldn't be of more help

I would suggest to call the phone co. Ask if they have a service of a no contract phone. I like the phone..no problems

There is no contract. It will come with instructions on how to set it up. You set it up in by going to an ATT website and then following the instructions. You need to plug it in to the wall and then connect it to your dsl modem or other internet device. So, of course, you need to have internet connectivity at your residence or wherever you are setting this up. The ATT microcell then connects to the internet via this set-up procedure. Once it has done that, it will function in your house as a mini cell tower. It's not a signal booster, it functions exactly like a cell tower in your house. That's it. There's no contract or per-month cost. You just buy the unit.

Think of this as more of "ready to be unlocked" long explanation. No contract required or needed, just need a proper sim card to connect. but will only function and provision with AT&T;'s system unless you begin risky task of modifying firmware files and basebands. Risky because you can end up with a expensive paper weight if done wrongly. That being said however, you are buying the phone outright and completely so whoever you in the end use the device with, if something happens or you just wish to upgrade at watever time, u can toss the phone(recycle it prefably) or hand the phone down to a child or whenever else without worry of contract completion.

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

Good question- I called the service center for AT&T.; From what I understood, I don't think, AT&T; has a 'no contract service' for this phone.

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.

I didnt have to do anything--it came unlocked and ready to go and i went to t-mobile (which has no contracts.) to get it activated. It was not connected to an AT&T; contract. When you buy an unlocked phone it cost more, but you arent obligated to ATT. If you bought a locked phone i believe you will have to get it activated at the AT&T; store.btw--its been a great phone!

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question. I would call AT&T; and ask them.
