Do I just need a wifi or a wifi+AT&amp;T if I already have AT&amp;T service?

Just wifi is fine, that's what I have. I do have AT&T mobile service but I have not associated the phone and IPAD as yet.

The listing says it's both. Note that it will probably require a data plan with AT&T.; Then when you are at home you'll want to use your home wi-fi to save data. If you don't have an AT&T; account you'll need to get one for this iPad. If you have another carrier it won't work on it, trust this helps.

Mark, No need for AT&T...; The device looks for nearby WIFI signals such as at your local library, McDonalds, apartments, ect. Some people use them at campgrounds / hotels where WIFI is provided so they can work from their trailer or car rather than go in and eat at the place... It will also work on your neighbors WIFI if it is unlocked. You are basically using their signal. The range is limited depending on the straight line theory. Some of these devices can go to a 1/2 mile or more... Read others comments as to the range and problems they have encountered. This device is fragile, so don't bang it around....

You could hook up to the wifi on your phone but only temporarily. Our Ipad plan could be set up with AT&T so you could access it anywhere. We don't have AT&T so it would be a separate bill. Go to the menu on your Ipad and see what service is available. There is a lot of free Wifi out there in hotels and restaurants.

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T. T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.

You would need to purchase a SIM card with a data package from AT&T.; This unit does not pick up any wifi signals it works on the cellphone networks

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

This phone was for my mom and she already had an AT&T account. She isn't the best with technology so she only uses WiFi at home without any data plans. The phone still works perfectly well without a data plan. Normally when you get a new smartphone from an AT&T store they HAVE you get a data plan but when it comes to just switching phones with a you don't exactly have to get a data plan since you already have a pre-existing account. That's from what I see from how she uses it.

Yes. Call AT&T; customer service and tell them you have purchased the phone to replace existing phone. They will ask for Pantech phone info (ID #, etc). Can use your existing plan, but will need to add Data Plan ($20/up) to use the mobile data feature when WiFi not available. You should be able to use your existing SIM Card from old phone also. I did all of above.

I have AT&T; as my phone provider. However, My wifi and Internet connection is with Time Warner. If I were you, I would carefully read the description of the iPad before purchasing it. The great thing about Amazon is you can purchase the iPad and if it is not what you expect, you can send it back. I hope this helps

No, you need the SIM (with an internet plan) only if you don't have WIFI access.

Don't purchase any iPad that is enabled to use any of the wireless carriers. An AT&T enabled iPad will not work with Version, and vice versa they have two different and incompatible wireless systems. Save your money and purchase a WiFi only iPad then go to what ever wireless carrier you are using and purchase a MiFi card, they also sell these on Amazon. With the money you save you can purchase a 128 gig iPad Air, or use that on a MiFi Card. These are a wireless WiFi router. Your iPad connects to it just like it does with your home network. You can connect up to 5 devices on them iPad, laptop etc. If you purchase the MiFi card outright you can then purchase some really great no contract data plans. All of the carriers have MiFi cards. If you purchase your MiFi cards,which gives a no contract deal you can have one for AT&T,T-Mobile, and another for Verzion, sprint, etc all you have to do is load the Sim card for the carrier you want to use. A MIFi card will fit in a shirt pocket with room to spare.

Yes, you need AT&T; sim card from their store, it is free, if you need DATA on the device. if you buy ipad 2 AT&T; model. NOte: if wifi only will not work for 3g signal from AT&T.;

I'm pretty sure that this is just a router, you'll need a modem separately. Unless you're with Xfinity, they'll provide a modem+router in one.

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.
