I bought a used one SCH-I200PP, did factory reset and I use it on WiFi as a small tablet without activation just fine.

I don't use WiFi to get online to anything. Only time I turn it on, is if I have a poor area maybe.

No. Youu have to have an active Verizon account for the phone to function or it locks in setup mode.

no it must active by verizon, no phone will get wifi with out active it, your locked in for six months before you can switch to a different carrier

Nope! They use available wifi, so you do not need a data plan with this phone.

Depends upon what you mean. You can use it as a router without an active SIM. You just can't use it for calling.

Yes. I use it very occasionally for wi- fi but I do not use it and do not have any wireless internet plan.

Yes, you can use wifi-only if you'd like. If you get an unlocked version, you can use nearly any SIM. A voice plan SIM plus wifi should be fine. Only the wifi hotspot/tethering is restricted...even when unlocked.

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?

You can use most apps without Internet. But, yes, wifi is the only Internet connection. No cellular.

data plan is only required if you phone with subsidy. The phone will connect to wifi without a data plan

If you want a free service yes, but their is other WiFi such as straight talk, at&t; go, etc that offer void. You can physically check them out at your local wallMart.

No, the xyboard has wifi as well. It would work just fine without Verizon service. Just connect to Wi-Fi at home or wherever.

When I had this phone in the US, through a contract with Cricket, I was paying for data. You can probably use it without a data plan, but you'll have to be careful to not use the internet features of the phone.

Yes, you can use it as a ipod, meaning using it with wifi without having at&t; service.

Yes, since this is not an android phone, you can just call your service provider and tell them you don't want to use data plans. That's what I did with mine.

You have AT&T; SIM card coming with the Tablet, that could be activated on AT&T; cell network, but do not required.You can use it on WiFi without Cell connection. You have WiFi and Mobil Network(Cell) built-in, but you can chose how it will connect. Hope it helps...

You can use wifi only without going through a carrier. However, if you have a data network packet with your carrier you can use it with your SIM card and still get wifi. Otherwise you do not need carrier for you to be able to use the internet. I hope this helps.

Do you mean cell and data or just data service? It can be used without using Mobile data but as far as I know it can't be activated without a data plan it can be used to an extent as a touch screen device if it has no data or cell plan but only if you connect it to a WiFi network. That said I would say no it can't be used without an Internet/data service

NO...You do NOT need data for this phone. It can be disabled in the options. I called AT
