Why Isn't Phone Available w/$39.99/mo Calling Plan? Hey, what's up?

That is because you have to add data to your plan I mean if you want to use all the features like go online check emails you will need to use data and the cheapest plan voice and data from Verizon it's 79.99 plus taxes.

So even though I pay $50/month to AT&T; for a 5gb plan (which INCLUDES legal tethering) I can't use Joiku tethering?What's up with that? If this is true, sadly the 808 is a no-go.

I would love to know the answer as well? Has anyone purchased this phone or a phone that was not purhased through Straight talk and was able to use it on the straight talk plan? We pay 45.00 a month, with no contract, unlimited txt, email, etc..... If you could let us know that would be great! Thanks so much all, for taking the time out to write your reviews!

you are right but there is a market disconnect here. with a wireless carrier, the price of the phone is dwarfed by the annual expense of subscribing to the service. as the other posters indicated, this is not the case with skype. the whole point of using skype is its low cost. i would love to have one of these but the morons at netgear priced it incorrectly.

If you are in the US, Cricket (a new AT&T; subsidiary, recently merged with AIO, also an AT&T; subsidiary) or Straight Talk (an AT&T;/T-mobile MVNO sold through Wal-Mart) both offer competitive pre-paid plans with data in the $35 to $45/month range -- and cheaper options, as well. This phone should also work with AT&T; Go-Phone pre-paid service. All T-mobile service is also now no-contract -- both pre-paid and post-paid -- and this phone will work with T-mobile, but the US version will likely be better in most areas. Search Wikipedia for "US MVNOs" -- any that use AT&T; or T-mobile will likely work with this phone.

Thank you, but I am not a GoPhone customer - I was wondering about being able to pay that price for a data plan for a non-go phone current at&t; customer.

The phone suck and I had the same problem. The phone works on a Saturday 1G so it is impossible to download anything. Get another phone.

It's pretty obvious. the prepaid card says 270$ right on it, yet they sell them for 385? You should never pay more than 45$/month for straight talk. The only authorized place to buy ST is walmart or walmart.com. These should be the only places you get cards. These people are probably stealing the unscanned cards at walmart and selling them, while they only work after you run them through the register

I was able to get a phone plan from AT&T; with no data plan. But that was many years ago. I don't know what the carriers would demand now. Good luck! Dave H.

Go to Pure Talk website. Free phone and $5 a month for 50 minutes or $10 month for 130 minutes that roll over. No contract.

Hi Gil, yes I have but here is the problem. My current Tmo plan is 1500 anytime minutes for $40/month. No nights/weekends. This is more than enough for me. Plus, I pay $10/month unlimited web access and $5/month for 400 sms/mms. ATT in my market doesn't come close. Besides, I use my phone most for calls, not the web. Not to mention I would have to sign a contract...at least that was the case the last time I checked. Finally, my work phone is ATT and frankly I find the TMO service and call quality better than ATT, significantly. All the "bars" they brag about in their commercials...marketing fluff.

Text costs 1 full unit, whether you send it or receive it, on Androids. Tracfone is raking in the cash on that feature :)

reply from the customer service: "I've checked our current price and it is $799.99 with a plan from Verizon and $829.99 without a plan. This price is correct as it is what we are currently able to offer for the tablet. Currently, Verizon is offering it at a lower price. Unfortunately we cannot match their price. "

I too would like to know this. If it's not unlocked then we are still stuck with AT&T;, so what is the point of paying full price for the phone?

Yes, I know about the dumbphone plan. I have an Android phone with the 5gig plan and am just looking at the 808. Because of that, I'm not on the $15 plan.Can you get the $15 unlimited plan today? Or is it some grandfathered in type of situation?
