Would like to purchase for my parents. Will they need to set up another phone line in order to use the internet on the tablet?

You jus need to insert your active sim card and ready to go. You can use wifi or mobile network in order to use internet. You may need to have a data plan for mobile network and The APN set up is required.

You can access the internet with a tablet like this anywhere that there is a wireless hot spot (wi-fi), which nowadays is practically everywhere, without paying for it (coffee shops, hotel rooms, etc.). You will not be able to use the internet at home if you do not already have internet service set up with a wireless router there.

Good Morning Jon, We purchased the tablet to be used as a kiosk at our counter. I do believe that you can use the tablet on Verizon's network as well as your local WiFi. I would call you local Verizon store to be sure though. Great tablet, works great for what we need.

Here's the miracle. They only need a phone line. You don't need to help them set it up. They can do it. MY mom set it up and THAT was miraculous. She was quite smug about it.

Yes but like a smart phone which has a data plan you'll also have to set one up for your tablet.

The landline use will only require high speed internet connection. If Verizon provides you with your internet service; then the answer is yes! However, if you are talking of Verizon as in your telephone voice service provider- the answer is no! You DO NOT need any other phone service for you to use the device as your landline service.. Remember this is a VOIP device.. thus Voice Over Internet Protocol .. you will be having your phone service through the internet... I hope this helps!

You won't need "internet" but you'll need the base station and a wireless network. Your phone or the remote you can but will connect to it locally using your wireless network.

A computer is not needed but you do need a unlocked cell phone to with sim capability to set up with the local internet provider. When set up is done just remove sim from phone then place in your device. Hope this helps...

Not sure. We got rid of the tablets. One broke and never got whole of ANYONE in customer service, and then the other one would not stay connected to the internet.

No, this would not be considered an "additional" handset and does need an actual phone line in. Hope that helps.

You would need one if you wanted to use the Internet, email, etc. The phone would probably be very slow though.

Yes you can access the Internet on this Tablet. It even allows a parent to control the websites a kid can visit.

thank you! I got this phone for my sons for Christmas. I don't plan on adding a data plan to their account, but there is wifi available everywhere they go: home, school, grandma's, friends', etc. Let me clarify something though: If there is no wifi available, will they still be able to talk and text? (that is all they need it for outside of wifi)

Not that one you will have to buy the bace phone to connect to the phone line

The model listed that I have is only a modem, so you would need a wireless router in order to connect your phone and tablet.

Hi Robert,No, the phone does not need Internet connection. It's a simple phone plug in. I purchased itfor my 89 year old Mom and she loves it.It's an easy set up! I hope that answers your question.
