It does not require a contract and will work with wifi for updates. It will even work with your iPod Touch.

No contract required when you provide the phone. Contracts are used by the various wireless carriers to help subsidize their cost of the phone when they give it to you for free, or at a discount. This phone is set up for Verizon, so I know it will work on their system, but you will need to check to see if other systems are compatible.

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card

No contract is required when you bring your own phone. if you buy this phone then try www.ting.com, it's a great cell phone company. I have two of these phones with Ting, and my bill is under 60 bucks per month.

You do not have to have a contract to use the Samsung Galaxy...it is Wi-fi ONLY. I have Wi-fi at home, so I can use it here, but often I just pick up the service wherever I am (grocery store, coffee shops, other people's houses, etc.). The battery life isn't awesome, but I have yet to run out of battery when I haven't been around a power outlet. That's a perk to it being wifi only. If you get wi-fi, more than likely, there is an outlet around.

No does not have a contract so it's clean and you can buy it and activate it on any gsm carrier and it will work and is already factory unlocked

There is no contract. It will come with instructions on how to set it up. You set it up in by going to an ATT website and then following the instructions. You need to plug it in to the wall and then connect it to your dsl modem or other internet device. So, of course, you need to have internet connectivity at your residence or wherever you are setting this up. The ATT microcell then connects to the internet via this set-up procedure. Once it has done that, it will function in your house as a mini cell tower. It's not a signal booster, it functions exactly like a cell tower in your house. That's it. There's no contract or per-month cost. You just buy the unit.

I would say yes. If you don't have a wi-fi connection or 3G you will need some type of data plan if you have a smart phone.

I believe i purchased a sim card for the phone. But yes it will work on wi fi. My other phone was dactivated and workec on wi fi. Most of these android phones with wi fi will work without activating the phone. The only thing is the phone locks up every now an then with too much downloads and over use. It also gets hot when it is kept on with the data usage on. Turn all of these off when not in use. Hope that helps.

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

No. It comes with very simple instructions and once it is connected to your wifi and you get the smart phone app you will be able to use anywhere. The setup is not complicated.
