Do you have to be on a contract to use the Samsung Galaxy? What is the average battery life?
1049255
No, all you have to have is some way to connect it to Wi-fi. I have a hub from my provider. The average battery life is about six hours. I usually have at least three apps running at the same time. Hope this helps you.

No unless you have the 3G. It picks up on wi-fi. So if you have wi-fi in your home, then it will use that. Just like your laptop when it picks up neighbors networks. Going down the road you wont have internet because you wont have wi-fi. I think the specifications are around 6-10 hours. Im not sure, have not looked at them since I bought them. Just google and it will tell you.

The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 does not have a SIM card slot so no contract with a telco is required since it can only communicate over WiFi and Bluetooth. One charge lasts me 48 hours, but if you use it constantly that time will obviously be shorter.

You do not have to be on a contract to use the Samsung Galaxy. You do have to have wifi available at any site that you use the tablet. If you have wireless at home, that works great. The average battery life is about ten hours. I* am pretty sure I am getting more than that.

The Galaxy Tab has wi-fi, so you don't need a contract. Anywhere there's free wi-fi, you have access. The battery life is very good, though I won't say excellent. And it takes longer than I expected to recharge. Still, it's very efficient -- much more efficient than my Kindle Fire, which is only a year old.

You do not have to have a contract to use the Samsung Galaxy...it is Wi-fi ONLY. I have Wi-fi at home, so I can use it here, but often I just pick up the service wherever I am (grocery store, coffee shops, other people's houses, etc.). The battery life isn't awesome, but I have yet to run out of battery when I haven't been around a power outlet. That's a perk to it being wifi only. If you get wi-fi, more than likely, there is an outlet around.

This one is wi-fi, not 3G, so no contracts. I get around 8 hours on mine, but I like my screen bright. If you dim the screen you can probably get longer.
1049263
No you don't. Use it on the internet like a small computer. It is like most tablets. The battery last 8 to 9 hrs. depending what you are doing with it. It is a very good value compared to others. I love mine. I bought the wife one too. She has a Kindle fire also. It is a good tablet, but the galaxy has way more functions..You will like it.

As this is a Wi-Fi device, not 3G or 4G,no contract is required but you must have a wi-fi to connect internet. Battery up to 3 days without charge under a regular use (mail, photos, video and games).

Yes you can. That's what we used it for. It may take you a while to get used to the phone, but it's a good no contract phone.

Some I guess. It's slow, but I needed a cheap phone to use until my contract expires

It is a no-contract phone meaning one doesn't have to enter into a binding contract for one or two years to buy the phone. It is however not unlocked, i.e., it can only be used with Verizon

You can have the Samsung Galaxy III activated at either T Mobile or Metro PCS with no contract. I'm not sure about AT&T;, they do have no contract plans but I believe T Mobile or Metro PCS would be the better choice.

it DEPENDS. Some of these phones are for pre-paid use and some are for Verizon Contract use.

Yes. The phone you use doesn't matter as long as it's a Verizon phone, of course. Verizon wants to make sure they keep providing you phone service, that's the real reason for the contract. Good luck if you purchase the phone:-)

I don't know. Look at the model number on the inside of your phone. My phone will only take the 1800mAh battery, and some phones are different from one wireless plan to another another in terms of the batteries. I had to look for about an hour to make sure it was the right battery. If your battery is a 1500mAh, you should stick to that. Remember that Samsung and other smart phone manufacturers practice "planned obsolescence" where they stop making replacement parts after a two or three years to force people to buy the next generation phones. Sometimes you just get stuck. They put shareholders ahead of customers. I don't know. Look at the model number on the inside of your phone.

It's not a prepaid phone. I don't know if you can use it with a current 2 year contract or not. When I bought mine it came with a year's warranty but after a couple of months I had to send it back for malfunctioning. They don't send new phones, just refurbished ones even if you buy insurance. Took me three phones to get one to work right.

It can be used as a contract phone. My original phone was replaced with this one on contract

These phones (go phone) are no-contract, pay as you go phones. I choose to pay $100 per year. I seldom use my cell phone and often have money left to use before the end of the year (based on the purchase date). If you use your cell phone a lot, you might want to consider other options.

Hi, Yes, it is contract free, you can use it with any operator.You can use it with any sim card as long as it is a micro sim card.No warranty means if you break it, you have to pay to fix it, it will not be paid for you.

You can use it just as a wifi device. It's a pay-as-you-go phone so there is no contract. If you wanted to use it as a phone you would just activate it through Virgin Mobile and then choose a plan that fits you ($35 = 300 minutes/unlimited data + messaging, $45 = 1200 minutes/unlimited data + messaging and $55 = unlimited everything). I used this with my wifi for a month before I switched from my old phone.

That's a question you need to ask Verizon. Mine are used as no contract pay as you go phones.
