will I be able to use the wifi feature to download apps or browse the internet before it is activated through tracfone?

Yes, it will have all app and Internet browsing related functions out of the box with only a wifi connection.

Is there a way of using phone's wi-fi hotspot function and avoiding T-Mobile's "tethering" charge?

No. Takes 10-15 minutes. You log into Tracfone, use the information provided with the phone and activate it. It's just about instantly active after you do that.

If you purchase the T-Mobile version specifically then yes. But the global version of the phone will not have WiFi calling.

You could use this phone as a prepaid plan. Also it does have wifi capability

I don't believe the question was answered. I also want to buy this phone and NOT use it on Verizon Prepaid, but instead merely use it to access WiFi, as if is an Android tablet. Can it be done?

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.

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card

No. Make sure the WiFi is turned off, and it will activate the SIM card automatically, and connect to the T-Mobile website.

Yes only wifi will work. The data services and phone internet work through the carrier if you got a plan that provides data.

You need WiFi to connect to get the apps but my for year old has never once used it. We downloaded some the first day that were not that great. So basically I would say no.

Hi Gourd, You are so awesome! Thank you so very much for testing it for me. I appreciated it very much. It is fantastic to know that the phone can surf the web FREE. So, what is the data plan if I already can log into wifi network and surf the web FREE?
1662720
Yes any app that you use can be used with wifi so fb, messenger, snapchat, kik, Twitter, emails etc. as long as you are on a wifi network it will come through fine just no calls or normal texts until it's activated

Yes you can. Wifi is a connection to your home network, many phones have wireless capability these days. It will keep you from using your data.

If I purchase a net10 $25 plan can i still use my wi fi at home to connect?

It should be able to be activated anywhere DEPENDING on the carrier (net 10, tracfone, verizon, etc) that you are going to use,

It depends what you mean by "wifi". If you mean, "can it be used as a hot spot", you would have to ask a T-Mobile dealer. If you mean, "does it have Internet access", the answer is yes (limited but yes). Also, if you add a Micro SD Card, you can add MP3 music/sounds; either download them to your computer or download them directly to the Micro SD Card. I hope this helps.
