I have not used my cell phone for this purpose but I understand you can. For info, go to www.foscam.com > Support & Help > FAQ and see question "Which kind of mobile phone can view your camera?"

you can use anything as your camera, but you would need something else hooked up to the teleprompter (generally you use an app) to send the text to it - you would need an ipad for the teleprompter for example, even if you were shooting with the iphone.

You should be able to. I sent pics via bluetooth to a phone that had it also. call consumer cellular -most of the time you get someone who knows their stuff.

Hello, I purchased one of these and ended up with an identical problem. I returned it to the seller and bought the Phillips VOIP model and base which sadly are discontinued. As for this phone you're experiencing trouble with, the best thing to do is to purchase the base intended for it. If not, there are other products available on the market which include a camera in the handset, though they are more expensive. I hope this explanation helps a bit. Kind regards and God bless.

Yes. ATT&T; won't know anything about your Camera, they can only sell you the SIM card. The Camera comes with detailed instructions on what to ask for at the AT&T; store. The vendor can also assist with answering specific questions by phone...they did for me. Anyway, like I said, just ask for exactly what the Camera instructions say to ask for and you should be fine. That being said, my camera doesn't send any pictures because in the woods where it is mounted, because the AT&T; reception is very poor. mdv

no the phone does not have a sim and therefore you are not able to use it on whichever service provider you want. I actually had to trade it in to get one that I could use with a service provided of my choice.Hope this answers your questions

You can, but the phone is tiny so it's hard to see pics and vids. Especially since the processor isn't fast, so you can only rely on Wi-Fi to watch videos. I had this phone for a year, I couldn't send pics through text messages, that was a downer. But it is a cute phone for someone who has tiny hands and has never had a touch screen phone before.

I am not sure, but if you have verizon you can use it with one of their contracts . That is what I did. It is t not the a real great phone. The camera does not take very good pictures and the speaker mode is hard to understand when some one is talking.

So so, you can connect a mobile (IOS) devices in my case in two modes m , direct to the camera and through a wireless access point mode. You cannot download or view videos (gutted ) but can do with photos. I've not used it used it for social media sites and can't comment on that side.It is ok, but can be a pain switching between more than one devices and profile setup.Hope this helps.Polo

The Barrage comes with or without a camera. This posting is SUPPOSED to be for the non-camera version but both versions are carried by Amazon. I am hoping to order the NON-Camera version for work on a military base, so I will have to send it back if there is a camera! I have had several of these phones on my 3 lines and I will not have any other phone model until I get a smart phone!

I was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

I use mine as a contract phone. I would guess it could be used a a pre-paid, it is all the same system- just check with carrier to make sure of type.

Post usually are phones on contracts. This phone however is a prepaid phone and apparently needs to be activated for six months before you can switch to a contract.

We purchased this phone to be used on our already existing contract through Verizon for my grandfather who doesn't want a smart phone and ended up being told we could not use it. Only for prepaid accts. I wouldn't have purchased the phone if I knew that.
