Does the functions that use wifi (browser, skype, IM) work w/o SIM in phone?

I didn't know, so I just shut the phone down, removed the SIM and restarted. I am answering this using the browser over WIFI. I don't have Skype on here, but I would think that all functions that only required an internet connection would still function. I didn't have to turn the wi-fi on, as the phone defaults to "offline" mode when it's started with out a SIM card.

It does although I believe Skype is just limited to messaging and not video chatting here in the U.S.

It's a Nokia isn't it, there are many features that are built into this manufactures products that are not seen in other manufactures, or if it is many years later, like your cell rings don't want to take the call, turn on the face and stops ringing.

Don't know about a SIM but it's not locked. It has a regular wifi connection. You can use whatever internet connection is available.

No, there is nothing in the user guide that mentions Wi-Fi calling. You can use apps like Skype to make calls over Wi-Fi, though.

Basically yes, but it works with page plus which isn't a steady plan, that's to have talk and text but u can use it over WiFi which u don't need a plan.

It works with wifi like a laptop. I am not aware that its capable of phone service unless your speaking about that app face time.Regards,Joseph Van Buren

Since this phone is unlocked, you can use any GSM SIM Card in it. Moreover, I did use this phone on WiFi connection only[mine was malfunctioning and I had to return it]. You DONT need Data Connection to use this phone. Just make sure you disable Data Connection in Settings->Network Settings

I use Nimbuz, which supports Skype as well as many other popular IM applications. Nice to have all my IM apps all in one program. I used to use Fring, but since it no longer works with Skype video, Nimbuz is a better multi-protocal application.And yes, Numbuz (Skype) can be used over WiFi or 3G packet data. Your choice.@geekgirl, Sorry, but no video calling using Skype. The "official" app never implemented it. Fring did support it until recently, but it no longer works. So voice only I'm afraid. :(

To use the mobile data and service you'll need the SIM, but all other features will work once you have wifi

No wifi. The internet browser itself is pretty archaic, and the graphics display is horrible. It's a decent phone, but that's all it is.

If you intend to use your SIM card for internet access, yes it will work. In my opinion, it is better to use wireless internet access.

No, it should work with the browser that comes with Android. On login screen, choose the mobile phone option.

This is the Wifi version, you can't make calls if you mean by that phone calls. But if you mean Skype and others by 'making a call' then yes you can.

Hi. It has no ability to use a sim card for data/mobile, so without wireless there is no access to the Internet.

Yes, this phone is unlocked and works with all SIM Cards. However, the internet may not function due your service provider's network.
