I don't understand what this is for. I am thinking about getting my kids Go phones with the unlimited talk, text and web. What does this do? What's it for what else would I need to do? Is this only for India?

I purchased this phone for my 12 year old daughter. There are not that many apps on it. She can barely get on the internet or play games. She mainly used it for text and phone calls. She has a new phone and does not have this one. Hope this helped you.

You can purchase an unlimited talk and text plan for $45.00. This includes 1G of data. You can purchase the plan on the internet, various stores, and by phone. You can get this plan for a basic phone or smart phone. If you are looking for less service, they have that also. Just look for refill cards for gophones.

May be too late for this but here goes anyway...I had this same problem, ATT landline, GV would NOT port it over, only if it was with cell phone service provider. I found and old cell phone in my drawer, went to MetroPCS (or any No-Contract) service provider, ported my ATT landline phone (yes I had to pay for 1 month service with cell phone svc provider!) Once my home phone was ported, I was able to immediately port it from MetroPCS to GoogleVoice. Absolutely worth it, as I've had my home tel nbr for years and the kids had it memorized etc.

This is absolutely not a smart phone. There aren't many flip phones in Japan that are smart phones. Most of their smart phones are touch screen phones like America's phones. (I came from Asia myself so I'm used to these phones.) But if AT&T; is trying to charge you data for it then I don't know what to do. I was honestly considering Net 10 for mine. I still haven't activated it yet. Hope I was a little helpful. ^_^

Text costs 1 full unit, whether you send it or receive it, on Androids. Tracfone is raking in the cash on that feature :)

I've actually heard of ppl doing that. I know that you'll be able to text and make calls but the data won't work unless you manually configure the phone settings. I've never done it so it might be a pain. I'm not exactly the nerd tech type but here's a link that may help http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Certainly is! Works great! And there are several ways you can handle it. Unlimited is $50 a month or like $25 for 300 minutes and lots texts. Works great.

Yes, I know about the dumbphone plan. I have an Android phone with the 5gig plan and am just looking at the 808. Because of that, I'm not on the $15 plan.Can you get the $15 unlimited plan today? Or is it some grandfathered in type of situation?

The other answer is very informative. When I had this phone, I had unlimited and I could receive group texts and photo texts. I had unlimited text, talk, and internet for about $10 but it was through ATT. Also, my phone only took ok pictures. They weren't exactly the best.

My understanding is that Tmobile no loner offers the @home service. It is voice over IP using your internet connection and when it was offered it was a separate item that has nothing to do with your cell service.

it does that (talk) and text messages only... nothing else because the one I got say it it unlock but it is not. It was AT&T fone so internet funcion is still locked unless you sign-up with AT&T

Virgin's "Beyond Talk" plan starts at $35/month (although I'm grandfathered at $25 :) which includes 300 min of talk time (plenty for me but maybe not if you're a big talker) and has unlimited texting and data (that means INTERNET!) So the easy answer to your question is NO UPGRADES NECESSARY.However, they just started throttling data once you go past 2.5gig. But it resets each monthly pay period. And that's a fair amount of data IMHO.Anyway, if you're considering this phone/plan then you must be looking for a rock-bottom price for a good (not great) service. It delivers. But if you want truly HUGE amounts of data and a cutting edge phone then you'll have to look elsewhere . . . and pay at least 3 times as much!

The T-Mobile reps were unable to help me - exact same issue. So I switched to a Verizon prep-paid plan at $45 unltd talk and unltd text and 500MB data. You can buy extra data on your account in increments of 1GB for $10 and they last 90 days. This worked and no issues with sending texts now.

This is just another device connecting to your route, just like a computer. You will need to have an account (I use voip.ms but any type of service will be compatible). This device will hold your account information and keep the connection alive to the service. I then have my phone connected to this device (which has 3 remote handsets). I have had very good luck with this. It's kind of a set it up and forget it type of thing.
