In my experience with it, it has only worked as a mic. It allows you to answer and hang up calls.Hope this helps!

I bought this phone for my mother and she has a contract with verizon, so the answer is yes, you can use it as a contract phone. Just bring it to your phone company and tell them you want that phone activated

It works perfectly as a cell phone.. I have tried it with different carriers.. No complaints at all

it can't be used as a regular phone, its an IP Phone. This requires an account from a voip service vendor.

I would think so, but I don't have telephone service. It works great for internet though.

No, this phone can NOT be used as a regular phone. Despite its appearance, it does not have a phone jack. It can, however, be used as a SIP phone as well.

You should be able to.However it is a very difficult phone to use. Won't recommend it at all.

I bought mine as a smart phone, but when I received it, I found it to be so tiny, much smaller than the stated 5 inches long by 3 inches wide, I have not even activated it. Yes it can go online, like any other phone, if you pay for that service through your carrier. I wont even use it as a regular phone.

Yes, it can. But This phone is a piece of junk - dont get it. It is slower than even 3G phones with pathetic battery life and comes with just a 30day warranty. Touch screen in my phone went bad within 2 months.

It would not be useable as a speakerphone; there is no microphone in it. Someone may have figured out a hack to make it work but it's not designed to do it

No you don't, You can work use it as it is ;) But if you connect it to your phone is better ;)

No and you cannot use it as a phone. I ended up giving it to my nephew to use on wi-fi at home.

Yes, you can make calls out with this item as its a smart phone. You can do lots of other thinks on it besides calls as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks

No. You cannot make phone calls with it. It is a Tablet. Similar to an iPad in size and function capabilities.

I would assume so... If you plan on using it as a speaker phone at all ... Keep looking this one is awful :(
