Are you able to use just the wifi until set up with Verizon or does it have to be set up with Verizon before it will function at all?

You are able to use the Wi-Fi. You do not need Verizon. Is long as you have a Wi-Fi signal you are able to use it.

You can use just your wifi, which is what we use. It is a great ipad, our second, and my husband uses it daily!

I use any WiFi, one of the things I love about it. I believe you can add a line with your Verizon account. best call them to see if this particular one will connect with them.

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

I have mine set to automatically use wifi when available. I have never had to switch mine over.

My WiFi had a code that I had to type in before it would connect. I use Verizion. Hopefully this helps.

your phone will automatically connect and use wifi first before using your data. all smartphones are designed to do that. you can also go into your settings and select data usage and turn your data on and off so that it only uses your data plan data when you want it to. That way you only use wifi if you can connect to it and you dont accidentally use your data unknowingly. good luck we have enjoyed our phone so far

The one I purchased was the wifi only model, but as far as I'm aware the models being sold by this seller are all carrier unlocked and can work on any network. You just have to be sure to specify what 3G network your using weather Verizon or AT&T;

No, the xyboard has wifi as well. It would work just fine without Verizon service. Just connect to Wi-Fi at home or wherever.

I have a lot of trouble setting it up. When the wifi in my house is not reliable, it does not work most of the time. Also, be aware that when you use Vz 4g, you can be charged for data usage every time you check your phone for activity that camera may capture.

I have the Motorola Xoom that is WI-FI only. I do not have the capability for Verizon wireless for that reason. However, I do really like it. Easy to handle and good visual.

I use Verizon, I had a bit of trouble for the first two days of owning it, but nothing after. It seemed like my network connectivity was wonky for just a bit, because my back-up software had the same dely. I have been loving the phone all in all.

It is my understanding that will only work with the system base, meaning that will not work directly with WiFi. (NOTE:If someone finds the way to have this working directly on WiFi, I will be very happy learning how, since mine only worked with the base and as per the book for about a day and no more, so I am stuck with a system that doesn't work regardless)

yeah. the wifi will work on mine and it's not active any longer. the only thing is I can't place calls or use 3g anymore. other than that its the same as it ever was. if the phone didn't have issues I would still be using it for internet.

Phone only works with Verizon Wireless service, it will not work with any other provider. If you have a problem activating the phone please email us to resolve.

This includes its own wifi but is limited to transfer of files from and to devices only, with no streaming capability. Using it like you would a Verizon Mifi wifi Internet connection won't work. It's limited and will give you a message saying that.

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.
