Does it require the use of a monthly service or can it be used as a stand alone like the Apple IPad

I bought this tablet from Amazon and used it without any a service subscription.The wireless works OK,like an iPAD.

it is a stand alone ... no need to have a contract .. the wireless works well ... if you get the tablet for around like 200$US then it is worth it ... if not i would go for a ipad ( the interface is less glitchy and model more robust) ... it is none the less a great buy for me since i got it refurbished 170$ and it works well as a tablet, fairly usefull to put in my white coat at work

There are no monthly payment options for this tablet if you buy it from Amazon. Same as if you bought an iPad from this site. The only way you can get a plan is if you buy the tablet from a service provider. Hope this helps

This tablet can be purchased and used without a service subscription, just like an iPad.

you can use it with your monthly metro service. you need to buy a sim card for it thru metro (20 dollars).

The tablet comes with the app pre installed but you just need to buy the service

No, you don't have to. That's optional. I'm currently using it without cell service.

No. No subscription is required, but the Android and Apple Apps are not free. The Android app is $19.99. There is an optional subscription based service that apparently simplifies setting the apps up to communicate with the device from outside your LAN. It is not required if you know how to configure your router to handle port forwarding.

I'm not sure if you can use the bridge without a subscription. To set it up you need to set an account, but not sure if you need a subscription at that point.

For the tracker yes u need to set up service. I think u can go month to month tho but there is a activation fee

Regardless of what kind of iPad mini it is (wether it has wifi or cell signal) it doesn't require you to activate it. If it has cellular capability, then you can purchase a monthly plan starting at 15.00 a month. Other wise, both types of mini are useable with a wireless router.

Yes u do pay for monitoring every month,if u choose not to use for awhile,that's not a problem.no commitment.just call them up and pay,then u will be able to login again using ur desktop or iphone,ect.

only for data service, not for voice service. Apple doesnt allow Ipads for cellular voice service. Voice only over IP, which again is data service.

No you can buy it separately for $20. If you have an iPhone or iPad you can just use that!

You can use just your wifi, which is what we use. It is a great ipad, our second, and my husband uses it daily!

It doesn't NEED it. As in it will work as a stand alone toy BUT a lot of it features are centered around the apps. My kids already have the 2012 Furbys.. They enjoy using the iPad/iPhone app but also enjoy just using the Furbys by theirselves.

No. It is a computer program. Apple does make a similar program that is scaled down and can be used on iPads and probably iPhones

NO, this price is for the ipad. It will be up to you to decide if you want the data plan or not. (which is a service that you will need to purchase seperately from a data provider)

The iPad I purchased has the "ability" to have cellular service through Verizon - but it is not "required". It will work just fine on WiFi only. Keep in mind that they do make WiFi only models that will, most likely, be less expensive than the cellular-enabled units.

That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service. If you have a service provider it insure you have internet connection wherever that company has service. I personally did not want to spend the extra money, so my iPad just has wifi which means I can connect to any other service provider that's not looked. You can connect to your home internet if you have a wireless modem or wifi, also pretty much every public place you go has free wifi. Starbucks, McDonalds, Library, Mall, most restaurants and hotels...etc. Hope this helps:) That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service.
