I do not see why not, you will only need the sim card to activate phone and use it with wifi as long as you need it, however be careful to get the rigth set up for the wifi service or it can be a pain

Yes. Take it into your carrier to get a SIM card. Don't upgrade your plan if you have unlimited data.

It's a smartphone so yes you should be able to use it under wifi. I don't know if you will be able to make or recieve calls but all other functions should be accessible

It depends on your carrier. Some may call it a smart phone and require a data plan, others may let you use a basic talk & text plan. I use PagePlus with a basic prepaid account for talk & text and rely on free wifi when I'm out for internet access. (Most of the supermarkets, malls, etc... seem to offer free wifi)

Yes. Just make sure to always keep the unlimited data plan, it's no longer offered.

No data plan is need unless you want to download apps and be connected to the internet vie Wi-Fi. All that is need is that you have an AT&T; Sims card.If you already have AT&T; you can insert you old Sims card in and you will be operational.

To use the mobile data and service you'll need the SIM, but all other features will work once you have wifi

I am pretty sure you can, these phones are unlocked so I am not sure why you couldn't use it prepaid.

I don't believe the question was answered. I also want to buy this phone and NOT use it on Verizon Prepaid, but instead merely use it to access WiFi, as if is an Android tablet. Can it be done?

Yes you should be able to go to the WiFi settings on the phone to sign on to the wifi Then you wI'll not be charged for data

Yes, of course! You can use it only with Wifi, but it is a waste of capacity, because this devise can use 2 sim cards

You don't have to sign up for (in this case purchase) a data plan with this phone and it will still work on wifi. But you won't have any access to data when you aren't in wifi range.

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.
