Would this phone work as a stand alone android device if I do not have cellular service or if I do not have a sim card?

You need a sim card.. We belong to Verizon it was cheaper to buy phone thorough Amazon than use Insurance. Hope this helps you.

no you. need a SIM card. but the SIM card doesn't need to have service. you just need it in the phone in order to start it

with this device serviced with verizon being a CDMA phone you have to have active service it would not work without SIM

correct - stand alone phone. though note that the same phone is being sold without the base station, and these phones are NOT stand alone. You must make sure that you buy the one with the base station, not just the handset.

How does an unlocked phone work. I have ATT and have no contract. Will this phone work?

It works perfectly as a landline only....but you have that optional cell phone feature should you ever have the need for it

I used my sim card off my cellular provider. it worked but this was an international phone and it's function is a little different but it will make calls and text

Negative. The unit I have does not have a cellular antenna and thus no space for a sim.

Yes. It will not function without a SIM card no matter what device you use it with.

NO...depend on agreement with your service provider based on your sim card. But the phone itself, is free to all sim and no contact.

It will operate without a data plan. However the carriers will detect you using the data and attempt to charge you. It's a fantastic phone and will work anywhere

If it is unlocked yes , if its the gsm model maybe. You might not have data on the gsm model

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.

The phone will work as a telephone. The caller ID and answering functions need the power cord. Also the ring without the external power is different. I just tested the phone with and without the power cord to check this answer.

ots an unlocked phone without a sim card so with venezuelan sim card it should work fine

You'd need to buy a plan with Simple Mobile to activate the SIM. They have a number of options for service, all of which include SMS service.

Sure can! I bought this phone for my son and it's certainly works as a tablet with wifi even without phone service :)

I have 2 of these phone for use in a dual sim configuration, one for controlled cost from the US and the other from the country that we are traveling. All that you have to do is check the GSM frequency from your carrier with those of the phone. This may be a quad band phone which should work in the majority of the covered world. The dual stand-by function works flawlessly. One sim slot allows 3G data speeds while the other allows only 2G. It's a typical Android environment. Overall it's a good phone that we will use for the foreseeable future with no need to change.

It should function just fine use it as a dumb phone using wifi for data instead. Just keep an eye on the apps to see if they try to access cellular data.
