If it's a wifi version why does it say wifi+at&t in the heading and description then ?

It does work for wifi only devices, however the app must download the maps ahead of time (which apps like waze and google maps do NOT). You would just need to verify that the apps you plan on using support downloaded maps or not.

It means that even though it is an AT&T; phone it should work on another company's network. This phone does use a sim card. I have not tried it on another network so I do not know if the unlocked claim is true.

I'm not sure I understand. This product connects to a modem from your ISP and gives you wifi.

It is my understanding that will only work with the system base, meaning that will not work directly with WiFi. (NOTE:If someone finds the way to have this working directly on WiFi, I will be very happy learning how, since mine only worked with the base and as per the book for about a day and no more, so I am stuck with a system that doesn't work regardless)

It uses wifi and cellular service to connect to the internet. For wifi you must be in a hot spot (such as home, office, etc.). If you are not in a wifi hot spot you can connect through a cellular phone network if you are in the service area. The cellular service area is much larger than wifi hot spot coverage. In this case, only AT&T and T-mobile systems are supported. It's like adding a cellphone connect card to your laptop. And yes, you pay for the cellular service.

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

You need a GSM/LTE unlocked model; the "unlocked" designation means it is usable on all GSM Networks. I have both Wi-Fi and LTE access using AT&T.; It works great in both.

This particular version? No, it's Wifi only. There may be another 'cell' version but I am unaware of it.

This includes its own wifi but is limited to transfer of files from and to devices only, with no streaming capability. Using it like you would a Verizon Mifi wifi Internet connection won't work. It's limited and will give you a message saying that.

My wifi can not be accessed through the phone. I only have a talk and text plan and wifi does not connect like a smart phone would. It defaults to AT&T network which says connection error. Don't know if it's the same for a different plan with wifi however.

This is only a modem. If you need to connect to the internet over wifi, you need to connect the modem to a router that supports wifi.

WiFi + cellular means the iPad or iPhone can use either mode to communicate with internet. WiFi alone is simply a stand alone method to communicate with the internet. If you are not in a location that has WiFi, you cannot communicate, period.

I just ordered 2 of these for my sons for christmas. I was under the understanding that they were wifi capable when I ordered them. Now when looking on best buys website where I ordered from, it shows that they have no built in wifi. What am i missing here. Everywhere else shows this model to have wifi. HELP please, I don't want two dissappointed kids on Christmas morning!

The signal here is shot down to our mobile home from the main house because we are not high enough to get internet signal. We do haves router here and it is used to get a signal on multiple devices such as our iPads and computers, and phones. . I hope this is what you want to know.
