This may be completely wrong, but as I understand it, whispernet is available for downloading items purchased through the amazon store for free in most areas. It will also connect to wifi for things like twitter, facebook, instagram, etc. Those are not covered under the free whispernet. Whispernet is specifically for when you purchase a book/music/movie and are having it delivered to your kindle. For that there is no charge. For any other app you would have to connect to some kind of WIFI for them to work. I hope this answers your question.

It uses wifi and cellular service to connect to the internet. For wifi you must be in a hot spot (such as home, office, etc.). If you are not in a wifi hot spot you can connect through a cellular phone network if you are in the service area. The cellular service area is much larger than wifi hot spot coverage. In this case, only AT&T; and T-mobile systems are supported. It's like adding a cellphone connect card to your laptop. And yes, you pay for the cellular service.

It has wifi capability but you have to choose the available wifi network connection. When I travel to my family and friend's house I take it with me and after adding that person's password once I connect automatically every time I go there.

No it does not. It has an Ethernet card that you can plug your internet into, but for Wifi you would need to purchase a separate Wifi card and install it.

You can just use the wifi to surf the net and everything else, just like using a pc...that is the same on all cellphones that have wifi now....you don't have to pay for wifi service....you only pay Virgin Mobile if you want phone service, and internet access away from a wifi spot. Hope that helps.

I have yet to utilize the WiFi features, so unable to comment. It does NOT have that Microsoft package, rather "Open Office.org" - works fine for me, but others may prefer the official Microsoft package.

No, you can not surf without wifi unless you have a data plan. But the good news is that T-Mobile has a day pass option for $3.00.

Yes, this unit has wireless wifi capability, BUT you have to buy the USB dongle. My experience is that performance is inconsistent, and too often I would get a message saying my internet connection was too slow, after multiple long pauses for rebuffering. This was particularly a problem with streaming Netflix. Now I only use the unit for the audio for my home theatre system, because the Blu-Ray player won't play Blu-Rays and can't be updated, and the issues with the wifi reception.

It uses an SD card so you can expand up to 32g if you want to and it has Wifi which is perfect for us. There are so many places with free wifi we don't miss not paying for a contract.

No, you don't need to wifi to make it work. But if you want to monitor from anywhere, then you need Internet connection. Remote access needs configuration, I use a free dynamic dns NO-IP.com to connect to Internet. Drawback is I have to activate service each month.
