I plan to purchase this phone with 1000 minutes from an AT@ T store. Can it go on-line to the Internet while driving and far away from a WiFi site?

Yes it can but it will cost you some major minutes if driving long distance. Also, if you or a friend has att sim card it can use 3G data.

Hello! The answer is "yes"..but with very contemporary caveats! The AT&T wireless towers are phasing out their "non-smartphone" activity...for the moment I can use my C1-01 about 1/2 the time...nothing wrong with the phone...the C-series from Nokia are amongst the best, strongest, user friendly...but they are forcing them out of use!

No, unfortunately not. It plugs into the 3G MicroCell to help it get a GPS signal. A 3G microcell, along with a high speed Internet line will make your AT&T; phone work where you otherwise don't have cell signal. I imagine other carriers have similar devices.

I believe it will only be able to use ATT's 3G network, not TMobile's since they operate on different bands. It can still use the internet though on tmobile, through their slower, EDGE network.

This phone was for my mom and she already had an AT&T account. She isn't the best with technology so she only uses WiFi at home without any data plans. The phone still works perfectly well without a data plan. Normally when you get a new smartphone from an AT&T store they HAVE you get a data plan but when it comes to just switching phones with a you don't exactly have to get a data plan since you already have a pre-existing account. That's from what I see from how she uses it.

If u have the wi Gi u wud be using it more to get online. The 4G worked great, no issues. My favorite was the durability and the screen resolution. Did not try to use the GPS function, so can't comment. Hope this helped

It really depends on features you want. If you ONLY call and text, then I would not buy this phone. You can switch your service to no data and save money. If you plan on doing anything on the web at all, then yes, I would buy this phone.

I'm in AT&T.; I've had this phone about 6 weeks. No data plan & no charges on my billing - but you can only access internet based functions when in a wifi zone. That's just fine with me.

Mark, No need for AT&T...; The device looks for nearby WIFI signals such as at your local library, McDonalds, apartments, ect. Some people use them at campgrounds / hotels where WIFI is provided so they can work from their trailer or car rather than go in and eat at the place... It will also work on your neighbors WIFI if it is unlocked. You are basically using their signal. The range is limited depending on the straight line theory. Some of these devices can go to a 1/2 mile or more... Read others comments as to the range and problems they have encountered. This device is fragile, so don't bang it around....

I use it on Windows 8 with the Windows 7 fax program without any problems. I really don't know if the AT&T internet would be a problem, but my guess is that if you can use your phone on this line, it should be ok.

Net 10 only picks up off at&t; towers, i was told i could use it where i live but after ordering it, i couldnt use in my area cause they dont have sim cards with them. I wouldnt recommend it, and u can only use a 50 dollar unlimited prepaid card with it. So now im stuck with a phone i pd 79.00 for because they wont let me return it because it was over 15 days. I would not recommend.

If AT&T is your provider, just insert you SIM card and all AT&T network functions will immediately work as they should. You won't even have to visit the local AT&T store for activation. The phones that are advertised as "compatible" or "unlocked" will not. They must specifically state that the phone is programmed for the AT&T network as this one does. I bought two phones from this seller in the past year and both are still working fine and have been totally problem free. Even my elderly mother hasn't been able to mess her's up as she did with it's three predecessors (ha! ha!).

most likely not. This hotspot is designed to have data put on the box. Prob. ck w/AT&T.;

I used AT&T. The Internet connection from my prepaid plan didnt work, I dont know why. Besides that its a really good phone, wifi worked great. Its up to you to take the risk.

It is against the Terms of Service of most providers to use your device as a hotspot. As a "soft cap" for unlimited data - meaning that they can suspend you if you exceed the amount - Straight Talk uses numbers of 100MB per day or 2GB per month and Net10 recently dropped their AT&T provided service to 1.5GB per month. Neither service is unlimited anymore. Of course, following the TOS will easily keep you from going over that limit. Check section 6 & 7 in the Straight Talk TOS if you aren't sure about what I said. That being said, there are programs available in the Play Store that will allow you to tether non-rooted phones at no charge.
