Will this phone work on wifi only, without a cellular plan?

Hi, I answered this a couple moments ago but inadvertently deleted my answer. Maybe you received it before that. If not, here goes again. Yes, the device may be used as a Wi-Fi Internet device without a cellular account. I'm not sure if you mean will it function as a stand-alone Internet device, as any other computing device, and the answer is yes, it will. If you mean will it function as a telephone without a cellular account, again the answer is yes. To do this, specialized software applications are necessary. In my experience, and I have this on my phone - it works great - the best is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talkatone.android. It is free on the Google Play Store, all that is needed is a Google account. The application is free, as are certain number of calls per month. additional credits are very cheap (much, much, much less than cellular fees). With it, you will be able to make calls within range of any Wi-Fi connection, i.e., home routers, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc. The HTC EVO 4G LTE is a super device, big, high resolution screen, powerful processor, lots of memory. I (Droid Redux) have several LTEs for sale on Amazon at the moment, most in the Refurbished category. They are beautiful cosmetically, scratch free, and tested 100% operational. If you do buy one of these devices, I hope you will look at mine while deciding. Regards, Bruce (Droid Redux)

You don't have to sign up for (in this case purchase) a data plan with this phone and it will still work on wifi. But you won't have any access to data when you aren't in wifi range.

You would need an android plan. I must say that I had a lot of issues with this phone and was quickly returned for a refund. I would steer away from it.

No the phone does not come with a sim. Yes the phone works with WiFi. I went to my local Verizon store and they gave me one for free.

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.

You don't need a data plan. I wouldn't recommend this phone if you wanted to use the internet anyways; the access is not good for web surfing. Great for a basic text and talk plan though.

Yes you have to have a data plan to use the phone if you want to use the internet unless you plan on only hooking to your own internet. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Doesn't have enough internal memory, freezes up a lot. Total waste of money.

if you are asking if it has 3g, 4g, or lte. it does not. if you have game or books on it and you download them to the tablet. then yes you can use it without wifi.

This is a Verizon feature phone that uses CDMA only, that's correct. Of course, you can also change your plan so you can use a smartphone instead if you would prefer. You would need to buy that phone off-contract as well, though.

No, as an unlocked phone it will only work with GSM Carriers providing their services using a SIM Card, it will not work with CDMA Carriers such as Sprint, Verizon or any other CDMA Carrier._________________________________________________________________

It will function as just a phone so no you shouldn't have to have a data plan. Having used the phone now for a few months, I couldn't recommend it. Reception is very poor.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

I do not see why not, you will only need the sim card to activate phone and use it with wifi as long as you need it, however be careful to get the rigth set up for the wifi service or it can be a pain

We apologize for the delay in responding. No this phone definitely does not require a data plan. I have it myself so I know for sure. Thank you for your interest.Clayton Recellulartoo

No, the phone does not require a data plan. I have the phone and do not have a data plan.
