Would this phone work as a stand alone android device if I do not have cellular service or if I do not have a sim card?

Yes, you can use it on wifi without a SIM card. When you turn it on, it just says there is no SIM card. FYI, you can get an H2O SIM card for a penny on Amazon, then buy 250 minutes for $10 and the minutes don't expire for 90 days. H2O uses the AT&T; network, so the calls are the same quality.

You should be able to use it as a regular line without a data plan, but just an fyi...we did not have much luck with this phone. If you are getting it for a kid it might be ok but in my experience it was very low quality..if you are looking for a good quality, durable phone I would look into something else

My best guess is yes because if you do not have phone service then what would the unit transmit

No, this is not a stand alone phone. You will need the base unit seperate from this. I believe the cost is between $30-50. You might have to check on that though. Good luck.

Hello, I use it with standart sim card and prepaid services. I think you must know too that I don't live in U.S.A. Bye.

This is a CDMA phone with no Sim card so I doubt it will work for what you're looking for.

no the phone does not have a sim and therefore you are not able to use it on whichever service provider you want. I actually had to trade it in to get one that I could use with a service provided of my choice.Hope this answers your questions

it will work as a mini wireless acces point as long as you plug in a sim card with a data service, unlocked means that any sim card from any carrier will be functional

Probably. Its a GSM phone, so it would need to be prepaid service from a provider of GSM service, T-mobile for instance.I'm very happy with this phone and the price I paid for it.I use it in the US, and when I went to Europe, I just removed the sim card and put a European one in. A kind cellphone store helped me enter some settings to make all the features work (web, text). Saved a bazillion dollars by not using my American service overseas.

Yes.I have done that with mine. You just put in your existing SIM and it will be fine for voice and messaging. I only get data service when connecting through wifi though.

If it is unlocked yes , if its the gsm model maybe. You might not have data on the gsm model

No, as an unlocked phone it will only work with GSM Carriers providing their services using a SIM Card, it will not work with CDMA Carriers such as Sprint, Verizon or any other CDMA Carrier._________________________________________________________________

It'll certainly make calls and you'll be able to send and receive messages with no data plans. You should also be able to use the apps on it with WiFi.

It should function just fine use it as a dumb phone using wifi for data instead. Just keep an eye on the apps to see if they try to access cellular data.

The phone can be used as a wifi device without a sim card. However, if you want to download any apps you have to have a SIM card.

How does an unlocked phone work. I have ATT and have no contract. Will this phone work?

I would suggest to call the phone co. Ask if they have a service of a no contract phone. I like the phone..no problems
