I bought this android phone for my son who goes school and works part-time. He has T-Mobile $50.00 prepaid which has unlimited talk, text and data. So far he has been very happy with his phone.

Yes, the internet is free on any Wi-Fi network your phone can find. That's because the data is coming from the Wi-Fi, not the cellular provider, so it wouldn't be fair for the cellular provider to charge for the data.

It is free to browse if you are strictly on your ISP WI FI network. initially I had to straighten this out with Tmobile. They haven't tried to charge since. Just make sure you Always launch using the browser, and not Tmobile (T) web2go

yes, internet browsing is free if you are using wifi, just make sure to enable wifi under (settings --> wireless & networks)... but you should definitely be careful and always remember to disable data under (settings --> wireless & networks --> mobile networks ) because this phone uses data even when you're not actually using you're phone, say walking down the street. Your maps/ GPS, email, and even picture messaging use up data. This can be tedious since it is an android and the apps it uses mostly operate off internet, such as a chase app, or new york times app, which constantly need to refresh themselves, hence why I recommend the 50$ unlimited plan.. if you plan on using data often yes, internet browsing is free if you are using wifi, just make sure to enable wifi under (settings --> wireless & networks)... but you should definitely be careful and always remember to disable data under (settings --> wireless & networks --> mobile networks ) because this phone uses data even when you're not actually using you're phone, say walking down the street.

I think a person can connect to listed frequencies in their area. I never could. Not enough power. I finally got Verizon's wifi and it is worth it. Just don't download movies or music or the time is taken up. Doesn't matter about email and looking up things on the internet

Pretty sure you need a wireless router in your home, yes. The WiFi on the iPod Touch can only find wireless interenet where wireless internet exists. Routers are fairly cheap and easy to set up, or so I've been told (I don't know how it all works either!).Otherwise, it'll work anywhere there's free WiFi. As I've never used WiFi, I've no idea if you need to ask the store (coffee shop, bookstore, hotel, wherever) for a password(??) -OR- If you just click to find internet and it does it(??)

No you don't need internet at all the way it works is its a hard drive but instead of using a usb cable to connect to the hard drive this drive uses wifi.To connect to the drive wirelessly you need the android app or the iOS version, now if you have internet on your phone or tablet the drive works as a hot spot but this is an additional feature it works well without Internet.

Free wifi? yep. If it has a password then, no, unless you have the password. I use one of my cable companies hot spots to use my kindle at work.

YES I use in Wi-Fi only to save on my phones internet time. .because I don't have unlimited use through my server.

No there is no fee. The instruction manual explains how to configure your computer to view the system online. I can view my home system from my computer at work.

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

You must turn off the data on your cell. If you use connect to internet, carrier dosent know if using wifi or 3g. You will be charged per mb.

its not absolutely necessarry but you do need access to wifi whether its your own or from a wifi hot spot. This way you can access all the inetrnet stuff form your tab

Not at all. The only fee paid, is for the ISP service you are connecting the device to. The device itself is 100% free to operate.

No. When plugged in and powered on (using your TV USB port or an AC adapter), the device advertises itself as a WiFi Hotspot, and you can authenticate it to your home WiFi to use the included browser. I have tested against my Android phone and iPad. The App needs considerable work,but does not appear to be maintained. I experienced repeated lockups, and I did not like that I have to disconnect my device from home WiFi to use all features. It was an interesting novelty for a few days, but I have since given up and unplugged it from my TV.

You have the option of turning the wifi off or on. Wifi at home is faster than the data plan so sometimes I turn off the data option and use wifi. You can choose how you wish to browse.

This is an access point so it makes a wifi area. I guess that is what you mean by a hotspot ? You can setup a voucher/pay system.....but be warned asking customers to pay for wifi is also so "2004" ;).....best thing to do is offer free limited speed Internet which you can do with this product. It's great you can limit the upload and download speed of each user so no one can hog all of your pipe.

Not at all. It's just like a home computer. Runs off wifi. Just log in to your home acct or anywhere that has it, which is pretty much every where & ur good to go. I love the one I bought. Very happy

Yes. Any place that allows free hot spots, you can connect. There is a setting to go to for wireless and as long as it's 'free' without a password, you have no problems at all. I take my Kindle with my everywhere and use it - restaurants, Starbucks, work, etc.
