It is my understanding that all the iPod touch have wifi. My son has an older model and the wifi feature has come in handy for him, even overseas.

You can use the wifi, like an ipod, without a sim card. I'm waiting on getting the straightalk sim card to put into it and see how that works. But from home, I connected to my home network, looked at the app market, and played with the apps that were on the phone, without the sim. Of course, you can't make calls with it. I'm not sure how it will work with her ATT sim card. You can put hers in your phone and try it out!

This is not a smartphone, it's a tablet. As such it only has WiFi capabilities. Therefore if you want to use it in your home, you must have a WiFi connection, either through a router, or through a mobile hotspot. When you're away from home, you'll need to connect to the Internet through a WiFi hotspot. But that's only if you want full access. If you want to play music, read books, or play stand alone games, you can do so because in most cases you don't need access to a mobile hotspot.

No, works with your regular wifi. and as far as what we will do it will do whatever an Android phone would do without being a phone. I bought it over a year ago for my wife and she uses it everyday to play games watch videos surf the net. in my opinion a great value for the money. it would work as an e reader if she used one but she doesn't. not as good as a Kindle Fire in most respects however has the capability of taking a 32 meg card.

Yes this phone has wifi. You can use it where ever there is a signal some may need a password but, there`s alot of places that have free wifi. I have wifi at home and also at work so, I can use my phone on wifi and do not use any minutes or texts on my cell plan. So, I save on my cellphone bill.

You can only use what is downloaded to the tablet without a wifi connection otherwise you have to purchase a data plan. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

Actually we thought it had wifi and when it was charging us for the minutes we used in our house and we have wifi, we called tracfone to complain. So what they told us was, the wifi is only for the internet. So it kind of has WiFi, just be aware. Its a great phone though.

This is late but I'll answer anyways in case someone still needs the information. I am using this phone as you would like to, wifi only, mini tablet. I was able to bypass the activation with no information given or account creation and it has not asked for any since. It has been a while but I think I swiped off screen til it gave me the home screen icon (it doesn't readily give you the option to skip everything), and then I went to options and turned airplane mode on. When you turn airplane mode on it doesn't seek a mobile network (saves battery) and won't prompt you again for activation. Then you can manually turn wifi on. I've been using it for a while and it has worked great as a mini tablet. No scratches on the screen and as you can see, has a good resolution. I use Amazon Appstore, Google Play, EpixHD, Vudu, Flixster, internet, and games. There have been a handful of times where the back/home icons wouldn't pop up with a side swipe but I just hit the screen sleep/wake button and it was fine afterwards.

how do you use this phone with your wifi and get internet radio stations. I have had this phone for a while and although it will operate on my sim card for Pure Prepaid, I do not have data plan. I want to be able to use it with my wifi and get internet radio like Pandora or tune in or live 365.

No. it can't connect to wifi. this is not like a iphone. you don't add apps. the things it can do are listed on amazon.

The phone does not have a sim card in it, you would need your own. It does still connect to wifi, I've since purchased another phone, and the music and other non-phone functions still work...

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.

Yes. There are two apps for this device one is got wifi only and the other is for non-wifi. I have yet to access the non-wifi app so I don't know how it looks. But I do know the capability is there. Both apps use your IP address to set up and a password to access if desired.

If I understand your question, yes. Not sure what you mean by android phone OR wi fi only. Phone should use Wi-Fi for best result and to avoid massive data use.
