Only if ur phone has the feature or is rooted. I can with mine but remember straight talk only gives 2 or 2 1/2 gigs of data before cuttin u off or slowin ur data to 2g. I myself am always on wifi. With that said its still a way better deal than any other.

Yes, you will be able to use it. However, I didn't like the phone, it keep overheating and not allowing me to place a call from it.

Yes if you intend to keep the Phone firm ware up to date and browse internet. If you dont have a data plan do not turn on your phone's Mobile network data settings.

I only use mine with WiFi, if you are not near a WiFi you would need a data plan and make your phone a hot spot to connect, but no, you don't need a data plan.

Mine has a setting for hot spot. Under System Settings I go to Network and Connections. Under Connectivity Services is Mobile Hotspot. A Verizon store told me they can add Mobile Hotspot for additional charge if I want it. Because my home gets so little signal I haven't tried the Mobile Hotspot to see if and how it works.

Yes. There is a number at the back of the sim card that you will give to the Verizon support center in order to activate a pre-paid Mi-Fi hotspot.

Not unless you want to use it when you don't have WiFi access. Just use your phone as a hotspot if you can and connect to it that way.

If your using your wifi at home to be able to use the device, NOT USING IT AS A HOTSPOT, then no data plan should be needed. If your going to turn the mobile hot spot on the device on then yes you do need a data plan

Yes it can connect to hotspots. The speed is good enough. I'm currently using it with pay as you go, SIMPLE MOBILE.

It does offer hotspot and tether. Buyer Beware. I had the phone for 2 weeks and it refuses to power up. I had to return the item.

If it is wi-fi only, then no data plan will work. However, if you have the ability to create a hot-spot on your phone, then you don't need a data plan, as you can simply utilize the wi-fi to connect to your phone instead. This is probably the most efficient way to to use your wi-fi when you're not in a trusted place.

Hello James, I know that with At&t your hot spot will act like it's own device. Adding your hot spot to your account would be a lot like adding a tablet to your data plan You might be able to put your sim card from your phone into the hot spot, but I'm not 100% sure. I hope this helps. Thanks, Andrew

No, it won't work. You need to have a physical Ethernet wired connection to your internet source. I suspect your hotspot doesn't have that capability. You need to have a 24/7 broadband or DSL connection.
