Is the 4g feature all paid for up front like my Kindle or do I need to have a contract with someone and pay a monthly fee?

Its never paid upfront :( the only option is to find one that is both wifi+at&t (Or another carrier) and then pay the monthly fee.

Its not paid up front it costs a monthly fee. You can connect to wi fi at places that furnish it like business that offer it free. Otherwise you have to pay for it through Verizon or any others that offer the service you pay for.

I only purchased the Wifi ur I believe you must secure your own contract for the 4g option

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.

Hi Kathi, Since this is unlocked you don't need to pay any monthly fees. You still need a data line though to get it to work and that will require a monthly fee, from your operator (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...).

It is unlimited for 4G coverage. However, I think there might be additional cost, if you used too much of the non-4G service. I have not had this issue in nearly 8 months. You will see the difference as the light will change from green to maybe amber or orange when in non-4G service. Also, the speed will drastically decrease. So much so that you will probably just not use it at those times unless absolutely pressed.

No, you do not have to have a carrier for this tablet to work as long as you WiFi from another wireless internet source. But, if you did want coverage everywhere, no need for a contract, just have it added to your current cell phone plan through your provider.

correct, you have to register the internet and pay for Internet through Verizon. Back in the day when I could get an unlimited data plan for $20 a month it was a pretty good deal but with the direction they're going in it's a pretty big rip off now. Unfortunately I don't know of any alternatives for you. If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone a good computer guy can often sync your phones Bluetooth to your computer so that your computer will run off of your phones internet. that is what I did. Good luck.

Each one already come to the Sim card. The monthly fee you pay covers the subscription that is tied to a Sim card in the device

Yes. I use a micro sd card and pay 60$ monthly for 4G service. Just make sure you use wifi when possible. I LOVE MY MINI ;)

No.. This is the wifi version. No monthly contract. You can use anywhere that has a Wifi hotspot (including your home).

Cell coverage is just like having Sprint. Difference is no contract, phones with not so great specs as contract carriers, and customer service stinks. But I am only paying 40$/month to have 4G LTE. Buy the Boost S3 and you got your self a darn good deal. In the end, it depends what you need. I only use texting, email, occasional browsing, and rarely use air time. I don't have to pay 80+ $ to have smartphone service.

Not at all. The only fee paid, is for the ISP service you are connecting the device to. The device itself is 100% free to operate.

If you had the unlimited plan with Verizon prior to getting this, then you can continue the unlimited plan with this device. I went from a wireless broadband stick to this device and my plan carried over. Note: A 4G product would not carry the unlimited plan as it was apparently never an option.

Yes. If you don't enroll in any monthly plan, you will be charged as pay as you go. In US 2c/min, 4c/outgoing text (free incoming text), 6c/MB 4G data, NO Surcharge. Be careful, data charge is rounded, meaning if you just check one email or weather app updates, you will be charged 1c. Charges will add up quickly.Check out this website for details. http://slickdeals.net/f/5936054-lycamobile-t-mobile-mvno-with-paygo-rates-of-2cents-minute-4cents-text-6cents-mb

No contract is required when you bring your own phone. if you buy this phone then try www.ting.com, it's a great cell phone company. I have two of these phones with Ting, and my bill is under 60 bucks per month.

If you use below the 500mb you don't have to pay anything but you must use at least 5 mb a month or you will have to pay a fee to start it back up. Beware that that this device will not work everywhere due to it being 4 g only so check the areas that you travel to see if it works. Also they have other hotspots that will work everywhere that is 3G and 4g with great plans. Soon they will so be a cell phone company that you could actually have free service. Do a search.
