do you have to have a contract?

I think so but I am not positive. I think you'd have to call Verizon directly. Sorry for not being more helpful! Good luck.

We already had a phone that had died . This was a replacement and Verizon simply transferred the contract to this phone (and the contacts, etc. etc.). Hope that answers your question.

A no contract phone means that you pay month to month for your phone's service and can cancel at any time without penalty for breaking a contract (typically most phones have a 2 year contract). These plans most often require you to pay for the full price of the phone however, opposed to getting the phone at a discounted rate by signing a contract.

it is a stand alone ... no need to have a contract .. the wireless works well ... if you get the tablet for around like 200$US then it is worth it ... if not i would go for a ipad ( the interface is less glitchy and model more robust) ... it is none the less a great buy for me since i got it refurbished 170$ and it works well as a tablet, fairly usefull to put in my white coat at work

No, this is an unlocked phone, so you can put any sim card in it, it doesn't go with a contract

Yes you do. They have a program where you can pay only for the months you want/need service. No contract required. We use this during the summer months while camping.

No need for contract - it will accept any SIM. Please be aware that it does not have Wi-Fi (i could not connect it). My wife use the phone for foreign SIMs when she travel to Europe and far east.

It needs a data plan, but you don't need a contract to get it in service. Very quirky though. If you have other choices, go with another phone. Tends to go off line a lot. and locks up to the point where you have to take the battery out to reset.

Nope no contract required! That is why I bought it. I took it to my local Verizon dealer and they set it up for me and transferred my existing phone numbers to my new phone. I paid a little nominal service fee to do that, but it is sure nice to have no contract or belocked in for two years. If you have more questions let me know.

No you do not have to buy a service, but it only comes with north america and canada maps, so you will have to buy the maps for the UK, from there you are good to go. there is no monthly service contract unless you want weather and traffic updates sent to your GPS device. I purchased mine for the same reason I will be living in london for the next six months.

I purchased my contract when I bought the computer on line but there may be exceptions to buying one.

There is no contract necessary, but it is not plug and play. The instructions include a web site at AT&T; where you have to register the unit's serial number. You also have to register the phone numbers of users, up to 10, I think. I am not sure, but they might have to be AT&T; phones.

It is a no contract phone, however it requires a sim card. I use mine with Straight Talk, purchased sim from them.

Yes, you must have a plan to use this product. You can contact Verizon to determine if they will give you a time-limited contract.

Yes , A no contract phone. That's the best thing about it but the only carrier it's available through is sprint I believe...

If you want to use all the features of the iPod and Internet wherever you go, you will need a contract too but if you only use wifi in hot spots, ie your home if you have internet access or macdonalds, motels, Starbucks etc then you don't need a contract. Not having a contract affects me when we travel and I can't use the internet in the car or get email unless we stop somewhere that offers free wifi like a library. But you can use games,notes and other features. The iPod is great, though and apple is for me from now on...no virus worries and so much faster and user friendly once you get the hang of it.

Nope, I just use WiFi for mine and have never been asked to sign a contract.

I think it depends, you can always inquire about it with them. I buy the Verizon phones without contracts and my prepaid service flashes it over to their network.
