Yes you can go on WIfi But to use Verizon you have to Have a sem card that cost about 10.00 per month

You don't have to connect the XYBoard to a Verizon account but it is nice to have when you are out somewhere when there is no wifi available. If you connect it to a Verizon account it is not expensive to be honest it is cheaper than adding another cell phone to your plan. I added it to my account and came out cheaper than adding another cell phone to my plan.

No you do not need to connect to Verizon to use. Wi-Fi will work fine for all down loads and updates. To add to your Verizon account you will need to have a Share Data plan with a minimum of 1GB. It will add $10 a month to your cost. The nice part is you are not locked in and can cancel this addition at any time without penalty. The downside it will also cost you $35 setup charge.

You can use it over Wi-Fi regardless which one you get, but not all are not capable with Verizon 4G or 3G depending on your area. The difference is the hardware. In order to get one that can use wireless service, you should buy one from Verizon despite they are more expensive. Check out Radio Hospital Lima, Ohio and call them. Google it. They just might be able to hook you up with one for $250. They have only 2, but nobody is really looking at them. Tablets don't sell in the area that fast. This is as of 6/24/2013.

Yes, to setup the account is better if you have internet, if not you may have to bypass the registration and once you connect to WiFi set it up.

Yes. We just took it to the Verizon office and they hooked it up no problem. My son said you can do it over the phone. Just make sure phone was made in USA. You may run into some problems.

My WiFi had a code that I had to type in before it would connect. I use Verizion. Hopefully this helps.

Well considering it is a WiFi USB adapter use u need WiFi to use thus device. But WiFi is not required to setup or configure the device.

from time to time it offers me the opportunity to connect to Verizon. I presume that indicates that there is a Verizon SIM card or equivalent inside the machine. But I only use it for surfing on wifi. I am too cheap to pay for a Verizon connection.

Yes, you need a telephone line connected on the receiver (your image shows the transmitter). The wireless part refers to the communication among transmitter-receiver, nothing to do with the phone or with WiFi. It works great, I definitley recommend it.

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

this unit is not wifi ready. you just simply need to go to walmart and pick up the verizon wifi usb plug in and you're set.

No you don't have to have verizon service or any cell phone service for that matter. As long as you're near wifi you can skype or do anything else over the internet that you need to do. I do a lot of my college work on my iPad air because of all of the apps that are available.

I also have Verizon but am having no luck getting a connection to the internet. It shows as being connected to the WiFi connection but I can't get any internet pages to load.

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

You will need to buy a dongle or something similar to connect to your wifi. I haven't bothered, but I think you only get access to a limited number of sites on the internet.

No you can use it just over WiFi if you wish. If you plan to activate it seeing as it is a smart phone you will have to get a data plan.

I've done Verizon Wireless with an Android phone. The Web Access works and they have an app for android as well as iPhone which works better than the Web Access: http://www.tenvis.com/m/The configuration is not difficult for anyone that's tech savvy.

Yes- You can connect using WiFi so you can use it anywhere you have access to wireless so you do not have to be connected to ethernetThanks!Shamly
