do you have to pay monthly bills?????

No, you program in which ever phone number you desire. The device calls the number directly so you are not paying for a call center. Simple to use and I like not having to deal with a service that is redundant.

No, there are no monthly bills. You may connect this unit to your phone to call your cell phone or other outside lines if there is an intrusion and record a message - you need a land line to do this.

Hi Kathi, Since this is unlocked you don't need to pay any monthly fees. You still need a data line though to get it to work and that will require a monthly fee, from your operator (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...).

No and I have found that it should be charged monthly whether you have used it or not. I bought mine to have for power outages and did not keep it charged. The batteries drained and I have to find new batteries. Hope this helps you.

There is a subscription in order to get the service. They have different packages, but the common one is $14.99 per month.

No it does not, that is the beauty of this unit, you don't have to pay any monthly fees. It works well... my Dad busted his leg and used the mini microphone to talk to me 50 miles away.

yes..you can decide what plan you like. I paid for long term service..around 200 dollars for 2 years. But you can get a monthly plan for around 8 or 9 dollars a month if you like. You will have several choices of plans once you get the unit and sign up on the internet. Ive had this service for about 8 months now..it has been excellent. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if there is a "card." $20 gives you 30 days of service. You can pay up a few months in advance or go to your local AT&T store each month and pay $20 on your account. We pay monthly because the service is still new, and we're not sure if we'll experience problems. There are zero additional fees because we activated our unit at our local store as a PREPAID account. We paid in advance for 30 days of service and did not allow them to bill us. Customers who have activated online seem to receive bills with fees. Account must be PREPAID.

I use pay as you go. I buy 25 dollar card for 750 min each month. They don't roll over, but I never run out. It works for me. Depends on how much you use your phone and if you plan on using your browser. I text and talk. That's all.

Nope, no monthly bills. I got this phone for my father. He uses Net 10 prepaid cards and I think they last for months. This phone has good reception, durable lightweight construction, and a loud volume. He used to yell into a candybar form phone but these clamshells put the mic right near the callers mouth. Also if he looses or damages it its cheap to replace. I highly recommend this device for the non-smartphone demo. (Compaired to those available in mid 2013)

TIVO Mini you do have to pay a monthly or charge, or you can pay a one time charge which is called a LIFETIME!! Not sure, but I don't think there is a charge for the Roamio.

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.

I did not see any difference in my bill, but my bill is not the same every month. Still there was no big jump in the amount! Hope that helps!

Yes they do but its only worth it if you have the 80$ month plan.. My opinion

If you have a MasterCard, or Visa, or what we call a debit card that isn't a credit card that is affiliated with one of those companies, yes. I believe there are other ways to pay as well.

Yes, it can. You choose the plan. But once you choose it, you are tied to it. If you want to switch from pay-as-you-go to monthly plan, you have to purcahse a new activation card.

Yes you need to subscribe to DISH. But you can do the monthly pay as you go plan. It is easy to turn it on and off as you need, no contract. If you are a traveler you just need to call them when you get to a new place. We love it!

We've been able to feed through about 250 bills without messing up. I know you can keep adding bills (+) but the bills we get are pretty beat up. We're a PTO and we receive a lot of small bills but it's been a huge time saver.
