Wha does the Wi Fi Verizon + mean? Do I have to get a contract with Verizon too?

If you want to use all the features of the iPod and Internet wherever you go, you will need a contract too but if you only use wifi in hot spots, ie your home if you have internet access or macdonalds, motels, Starbucks etc then you don't need a contract. Not having a contract affects me when we travel and I can't use the internet in the car or get email unless we stop somewhere that offers free wifi like a library. But you can use games,notes and other features. The iPod is great, though and apple is for me from now on...no virus worries and so much faster and user friendly once you get the hang of it.

Its not paid up front it costs a monthly fee. You can connect to wi fi at places that furnish it like business that offer it free. Otherwise you have to pay for it through Verizon or any others that offer the service you pay for.

Verizon does have devices that provide WiFi for up to 10 devices at once. This particular device will work with 5 devices at once. It's an older model than what Verizon is providing these days. I gave my Jetpack 4G LTE to my Mother as she only needs one that operates a few devices and I upgraded to the new Jetpack 4G LTE which is thicker and will allow you to charge an iPad, iPod, or smart phone on the device. The new Jetpack is thicker as it has a larger battery that lasts longer than the previous model (which is the one pictured with your question). I would recommend that you check with a cell phone provider (I have Sprint for my cell phone service as my son's company gets a discount and he's added me to his plan), but I do prefer Verizon for WiFi as I've never hit a dead zone using their devices -- Verizon has the best coverage and more 4G coverage than other cellular phone companies. I know that they also offer a plan where you pay for service for one month or pay for the amount of gigabytes you plan to use on a pay as you go plan (like the prepaid cell phone plans); however, you pay the full price for the MiFi (which is still cheaper than cell phones are with pay as you go). I am under contract with my MiFi as I use it at least weekly when I'm out and about in town as I carry an iPad rather than my laptop. My mother is actually using the old Jetpack on a pay as you go plan as she only travels a couple of times per year and doesn't usually take her iPad with her when she goes out in town. The other cell phone carriers also have MiFi's, but the only reason I went with Verizon was better national and international coverage, and their monthly plan provides more gigabytes per month at less price than do the other carriers. I hope this helps as I don't want to steer you wrong. I don't order cell phone plans or MiFi plans over the internet, but I go into the provider's store. I do check their websites to see if they have a device that I'm interested in knowing more about, but buy in person.

It means you can use it with any carrier. Normally it works for non US customers that will need to contract local internet. If you dont know which internet provider you are going to use, or you travel a lot, its better to have an unlocked device and not depend on a contract with AT&Tor; Sprint or Verizon etc.

I purchased the model that is NOT connected to verizon, or any other phone company, but CAN connect to the web. So I use my home WiFi to access the web to use it. Others purchase the Verizon connected so that whereber you are, you can connect to the web. But my plan is to eventually get an iPhone, which will allow me to use whatever phone company I use for my iPhone to work as a mobile router -- that way I won;t be paying for 2 web-access fees, just the one I would anyway for a mobile phone. Hope that helps.

No it is the means by which you have WiFi. You will simply need to connect it to a modem. This will "route" your internet service to be both wired and wireless.

Both versions are grouped together on this page. I went to more buying options and chose one that said Verizon in the description

The one we purchased was for verizon wireless and it's considered a basic so you don't have to get a data plan if you don't want it but you can get it! Just make sure that it states it's for verizon! Also if you buy a phone out right you wi not have to redo another 2 year contract if you don't want to! I hope I have answered what you were asking !

No. If you want access when wifi isn't available you will need to buy one and get a carrier (ATT, Verizon). It gives you that option before you buy.

I have a contract with Verizon, son don't know if it also may be used without a contract. Don't know anything about pageplus. I bought this because my phone gave out before my contract ran out.

are you all absolutely sure verizon sees "this" as a smartphone? why because it gets free wi-fi and they want to charge you? anyway around that?

No you do not.Your equipment will work with any Wifi. You will only need a SIM card if you want to purchase data from a carrier .

It is a prepaid phone which is basically means just buying those prepaid cards in the store and adding them to your prepaid account. If you already have a plan with Verizon, you can't use it with your plan unless you have been using it as a prepaid phone for at least 6 months. I know it's weird but that's what they told me when I tried to add it to my plan after using it as a prepaid phone for only 3 months. And if you do add it after the 6 months, you don't have start a new contract. Those contracts are usually only for when you are buying a phone from Verizon for a discounted price. Hope that helps. Your best bet is to call Verizon and find out what will work best for depending on your situation. :)

Yes you can go on WIfi But to use Verizon you have to Have a sem card that cost about 10.00 per month

Yes, for anything 3G/4G LTE, etc, you always have to have a contract for service through a carrier such as Verizon in this case. To my knowledge there are no contract free WiFi devices, other than possibly a pre-paid device from cricket, etc.

No contract with this phone means that once you receive this phone you can immediately activate it with any wireless carrier. With some phones, if they were a prepaid phone for example, you have to wait a certain amount of time before you activate it.
