is this phone required a server?

Yes. The server is sold separately. It's small - about the size of a laptop but about an inch thick.
938253
Yes, they sell a separate pbx for these phones. You need it for the phone to work.
938254
Yes.This is only the phone and it only works on the Xblue digital phone system which you can see an example of here:X16 Small Office Digital Phone System Bundle with 4 Phones Charcoal PHONE MODEL: X16 DTE ~Server / Base Control Unit MODEL: X16VSS - Corded

Yes, you would need a service plan (or prepaid plan) with standard SMS text messaging in order to use this.

No cell service required. Just gotta have your Bluetooth on, which is independent of cell service. The app will want to be connected to the internet whether through wifi or cell service, but its not a requirement for it to run.

no, its not a smart phone, it is not data-ready (no data-package required). But it is text-ready and there are various text packages available.

The processor in the phone is very slow, it has very little memory available - so loading webpages takes FOREVER. Using the internet on this phone is frustrating and would make it hard to get addicted to the internet capabilities. So I guess the long answer to your question is yes.

You need a base phone too. I made the mistake of ordering this phone and then had to order the base so get the base first. It comes with phones. Yes it does do call waiting.

I was told it needed a data plan. I have not tried it otherwise. If you are not having a data plan, you probably do not want a smart phone, which is bigger.

You have to turn on the web interface from the handset--I think it is called embedded web server--enable that and you will be able to get into the web interface to configure.

no you. need a SIM card. but the SIM card doesn't need to have service. you just need it in the phone in order to start it

Nope. It's a 3G phone. If you're a heavy internet user, the speed may be a problem.

Absolutely no computer required. I hooked up 4 voip ph service to my little device and works beautiful!

Yes, but it defeats the purpose of the droid. It's meant to be sort of a mini computer for internet purposes. But yes, it can be a basic phone.

The device emits its own wifi signal so there is no need for a server...turn it on, find the wifi signal on your iPhone and connect....open the app (free) and transfer the files.

No, you will need an ip phone service and need to set it up by logging into the device on your network and inputting your "account" information. I use Ring Central, its expensive, but convenient and the smart phone app is great, I am sure there are cheaper services out there. This phone works great and is much cheaper than the competition.

No. The app requires the servers on the back end to be activated to accumulate the data. When you attempt to start the app, it just closes itself. Until someone decides to reactivate the server side, these are just fancy headbands. Sorry.

It needs a data plan, but you don't need a contract to get it in service. Very quirky though. If you have other choices, go with another phone. Tends to go off line a lot. and locks up to the point where you have to take the battery out to reset.

Yes it is, although a slow connection. I do not use the phone primarily for this purpose, but it is available if you need it.
