Hello, thanks for your inquiry. According to HP support this uses wifi only there is no data connection.

This device is not equipped with a cellular radio or SIM card slot; data is WiFi only. Despite other issues with these units, the WiFi works very well. I use WiFi tethering to my phone for mobile internet access.

There was an error in opening wifi. It could not be opened. No 3G option for this device.

It will work with Wi-Fi only as I used mine for this but you have to be near a Wi-Fi source. You could buy a MiFi and purchase a plan like Virgin Mobile OverDrive at Wal-Mart for around $50 or on sale for $30 and the monthly plan is $20. Or you could download all your favorite music to the phone and play your music in mp3 format as you do your walks.

It is wifi only. It doesn't have any sim card or data other than wifi so it should work anywhere

Well, yes, if you want to use internet on a go. And, no, if you intend to use only calling/texting. And, of course, there's wi-fi which is mostly free :)

Yes, you can use it as Wifi only, there's no service requirement. I'd make sure you buy the tablet from a reputable buyer though, otherwise it'll come pre-loaded with adware.

no it is WiFi only. I t has a good WiFi connector on it though. If you have a public network that you can access you will have no problem surfing the web.

Just popping in a phone sim card in it will make it work like a phone.But to have mobile internet you will have to let the technicians at your mobile phone/internet company configure it.In my case i purchased a new sim card just for it.They needed to activate the service for me. If you are a little worried then check with them first before making your purchase. Mine works perfect and i have no regrets.

Yes, this phone is a Wifi Enabled Phone, I'm not sure if it would work if you are just using it as a Wifi for Internet usage.

No, wifi only when you are connected to the same wifi network. You can also connect through your Android / Iphone while away from your house / wifi network

Yes I do not have a contract I use it only on my wifi. You can add it to a plan if you want.

The iPad I bought is wi-fi only. As far as I know, I don't think you can get a mobile data package, but you can get a mi-fi from Verizon or other company that would satisfy the need when you aren't in wi-fi range.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the Internet you can use any wifi available. If you are wanting Internet all the time, you might want to look into getting a hotspot which will require a data plan. I hope this information helps!!

It does have wifi built in, which means in order to connect it to the internet you have to have access to a wifi connection somewhere! Now if you were asking if it is capable of having its own mobile data plan like the I pad or the Galaxy tablet then NO it doesn't! In order to put it on the internet you have to be somewhere where the internet is available like your home network or coffee shop or McDonalds etc. Hope that helps you out!

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)

If I do not add data plan, can I still surf the web in the place without wifi?How do they charge if I need to go to the web for few minutes in the area without wifi?
