Yes, you do need a phone. Consider this a helper gadget. You never have to take your phone out of your briefcase, just look at your watch. it also can take pics,make calls read and send messages etc. When all is said and done you can certainly do without this, its mostly for fun. They do make watchphones that only need a sims card and are stand alone and fully functional. Here is one offered on amazon Watch Phone Unlocked with Camera Cell Phone Mobile Touch Screen Mp3/4 Fm (White) whichever one you decide on I strongly suggest that you get a bluetooth device! The first few times you hold your watch up and talk into it its funny. Stops being funny real quick when everyone can hear both sides of your conversation. Happy hunting Yes, you do need a phone.

yes, siNOrmally you need one than uses a sim card (like those used by AT&T;) but not those that you cannot insert one (such as Verizon)

No. This is a simple bare bones phone. It's sounds great and I got it because I didn't want a phone with any additional electronics or anything else to plug in.

You absolutely need a cell phone. Why you can get by without a cell phone, it is much less useful without one.

Nope, it doesn't! You can use internet on it, but not required. Just a basic phone :)

It is just a basic phone for calls and texting. You need a smartphone if you want that.

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...

No, if the phone is on there are more features available, but it works just fine without the phone.

Yes, you don't have to use it. I never do. it's annoying. you can see the caller ID read out very clearly on the phone. I'm still very pleased with this purchase.

No but you don't really need that... You will have your device in your hand remember its wireless.

You can use a cell phone adapter with your cell phone. So, you don't have to have a landline.

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

If you have an iPhone, you can use it as a cell phone. There are also a few apps on the App Store that work as phones (Freetone is a good one).

No this can't be used as a phone. Only you can put a SIM card and is good to be connected over Internet while traveling.

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