OK..... You need to buy a phone without wifi. Also you need a plan that offers talk and text only.

I have a $25/month plan that provides unlimited texting and 250 minutes, but no data. You can purchase data plans separately, based on MBs.

That depends on your cell phone carrier, I don't think its considered a smart phone so if you needed to use it for the net you would need to call your cell phone provider.

The web is there but you can't use it at all. I do like tracfone but which I'd bought a smartphone instead.

This is a basic phone. It only makes phone calls. Texting is awkward. No WiFi or Internet

The John's phone is only for calling and receiving texts. You cannot text on this pgone, you can only receive text messages and are not able to respond by text. There is no Internet at all so I think that card is too high level for this phine. I bought it because I didn't want my son to have access to the internet. I only wanted him to be able to make calls in case of emergencies. A very basic phone. We used an AT&T; CARD IN THE PHONE for unlocked phones.

I was able to get a phone plan from AT&T with no data plan. But that was many years ago. I don't know what the carriers would demand now. Good luck! Dave H.

The "cell tower" connectivity is back hauled over your internet connection. There is an Ethernet connection on the back of the unit that you use to connect to your router. The GPS thing is required for it to work. I'm not sure exactly they require it, but I'm guessing it has to do with their service areas or something. Calls and texts work pretty well, but you are going to have to get the little good receiver near a window. It has a fairly long cable, maybe 12-15 or something like that.

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

net10, straight talk, tracfone! all in bed together. i have mine on straight talk. i have a friend in town with the same phone. the phone part was easy. the APN settings were harder to find. straight talk gives you some but others need to be changed. the phone is set up for china. both phones now working great here in texas.

No, this is not a smart phone. :) Just regular old talk and text. It does have internet functionality, however, I've personally never used this feature, so I can't really tell you much about it.

It depends on your carrier. Some may call it a smart phone and require a data plan, others may let you use a basic talk & text plan. I use PagePlus with a basic prepaid account for talk & text and rely on free wifi when I'm out for internet access. (Most of the supermarkets, malls, etc... seem to offer free wifi)

Well I have a basic phone because I disabled all the data. A basic phone only does txt and phone calls.A smart phone does everything... txt, call, data (internet)

It does not require a data plan. We have the phone on our family plan, with talk and unlimited texting.
