Help me understand--let's say I use sprint phone/wi-fi service. I can use this for everything--tablet, phone, text, email and face-time. I also have c

Skype not FaceTime. Also won't work with Sprint or Verizon as they are CDMA carriers... It has to be a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile (maybe), depends on T-Mobile's odd data frequencies... You can tether with your existing Sprint phone over WiFi, but this tablet already has a built in phone :-) May as well keep your Sprint phone and tether it with a WiFi-only Galaxy Tab3 or Nexus 7, etc.

John, Thank you for your interest in Urban Wireless. This is a Phone locked to Sprint. The IPOD is used by many for music, web surfing, pics, etc.. Also, you cannot use the IPod as a phone unless there is an attachment to give it cellular ability. It is not worth the investment $$$$. The IPods are general used for Media purposes. Hope this helps Chris

Mine will work on Sprint's 3G network if I pay for the service. So far, I just use WiFi connections and it works great.

I appreciate this information...I'd like to keep using my sprint service. Is there any reason I can't do that?Do you know of any "unlocked phone tutorials" online? I'm a total newbie to this...Thank you!

in general it means you can use any of the carriers (at&t;, t-mobile etc).. it not locked to a particular carrier.

that your able to , if you can get a sim card for it, to use it on any network (sprint, att, verizon, etc) still working on getting it to work on sprint, but wifi works fine.

It means you can use it on a wi-fi network or on an AT&T network. To use on an AT&T network you must subscribe to a data plan with AT&T.

They can be set to launch an app, launch a web page, change your phone settings, or a combination of these things. Some apps take advantage of these too, eg InstaWifi uses this to give a guest access to your home wifi without having to tell them the password. So, lots of potential uses.

Republic supplies their own devices, because they use the sprint network and a proprietary software to do their Wi-Fi to cellular call routing. You can't bring your own phone.

If you want to use all the features of the iPod and Internet wherever you go, you will need a contract too but if you only use wifi in hot spots, ie your home if you have internet access or macdonalds, motels, Starbucks etc then you don't need a contract. Not having a contract affects me when we travel and I can't use the internet in the car or get email unless we stop somewhere that offers free wifi like a library. But you can use games,notes and other features. The iPod is great, though and apple is for me from now on...no virus worries and so much faster and user friendly once you get the hang of it.

Duane....you should be able to use the wifi on any connection. When you get the device, go in the settings and turn the cellular off.

Why does it say it offers email and instant messaging services if there's no wi-fi?I'm wondering because I used to have a phone that accessed my email through some other way than the internet. I was never charged for internet service, but it was instead treated (billing-wise) as a text message. I've been trying to find something like that ever since, with no success so far. So, if there's no wi-fi, does it access email??

Only if ur phone has the feature or is rooted. I can with mine but remember straight talk only gives 2 or 2 1/2 gigs of data before cuttin u off or slowin ur data to 2g. I myself am always on wifi. With that said its still a way better deal than any other.

This works on the Sprint network, and as a former Sprint user, my favorite. HOWEVER, Sprint is FAR behind Verizon and AT&T; in their coverage areas. Go here - http://www.freedompop.com The 1st screen is zip and email, 2nd is address and won't be correct without it. And remember, even if your home/office is covered, if you use it else you may lose the signal. They now offer FREE Sprint PHONE SERVICE as well: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2427326,00.asp

The options are limitless. You're only using it mobily? Is that your priority? Give as many details as possible of your use preferences so I can try to help you out. Good luck
