Would this phone work as a stand alone android device if I do not have cellular service or if I do not have a sim card?

Doubt ful. You would have better luck getting a tablet or iPod touch instead.

As Long As You Have Wifi... Froyo Is kinda Buggy So Make Sure The Android Version Is Gingerbread.

NO...depend on agreement with your service provider based on your sim card. But the phone itself, is free to all sim and no contact.

I would say yes. If you don't have a wi-fi connection or 3G you will need some type of data plan if you have a smart phone.

Because the device doesn't use data, you can use any carrier's SIM card with the device. It should have voice and SMS capability. You would send commands to the device over SMS and it will reply with location information using cell tower information.

No, this is not a stand alone phone. You will need the base unit seperate from this. I believe the cost is between $30-50. You might have to check on that though. Good luck.

When I had this phone in the US, through a contract with Cricket, I was paying for data. You can probably use it without a data plan, but you'll have to be careful to not use the internet features of the phone.

Sure can! I bought this phone for my son and it's certainly works as a tablet with wifi even without phone service :)

Well it won't load if you do not have any signal or if it is not in your contract. I don't have the phone now because it was not good for me to use. Contact your service provider if this doesn't help. Not the best phone. Never go knockoff.

I do not think so. It will turn on but it will keep informing you that the phone has no sim card

Yes of course it's works without land line, but you won't receive calls to your land line on this device in this case

You'd need to buy a plan with Simple Mobile to activate the SIM. They have a number of options for service, all of which include SMS service.

The phone does not have a sim card in it, you would need your own. It does still connect to wifi, I've since purchased another phone, and the music and other non-phone functions still work...

No, as an unlocked phone it will only work with GSM Carriers providing their services using a SIM Card, it will not work with CDMA Carriers such as Sprint, Verizon or any other CDMA Carrier._________________________________________________________________

The phone does take a sim card. Since it is unlocked, I would think it would work with any service using sim cards. I've used mine on T-Mobile and MetroPCS.

Do you need a SIM card with this phone and can it be used as a prepaid phone
