Can I use this router without an active sim card?

Yes, but there are way faster routers out in the market than this. Check the specs and compare. I only use it solely for the SIM feature.

Depends upon what you mean. You can use it as a router without an active SIM. You just can't use it for calling.

To use it with a phone, no. Though I'm not sure if it can be used as a regular router, why would you want to. Just get a regular router, which is less costly. Besides, if you order one, the card should come with it. There is room for two cards in the router. One is for each phone number. Hope this helps. If not, log onto T-Mobil website and check with them.

I use the router for my home phone which is a regular cordless phone with 4 phones total used throughout the house and it does not have a sim card so I don't know that it is necessary. I've never tried using the house phone with no sim card in my cell phone or with an inactive account. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Sure. You can use with a non data plan and use the phone to browse when you are connected to wifi.

Yes, it works fine without an active internet connection. I use an iPod touch myself. By the way, you can enable wifi on your old phone without needing a cellphone account. Then you can use it to connect not only to the PLX, but also to any wifi router.

Yes, you can. I did not use the one I purchased, but I tested it with AT&T; SIM card before I sent it abroad for a friend

No that's isn't necessary, it's is unlocked so you can use any sim card from a GSM carrier to activate it. I myself do use a Tmobile Sim Card, & I just simply ordered a tmobile sim card, picked a plan, & slid the sim card into the phone. But when you first turn on the phone, the "palm profile" that you MUST set up to use the phone requires internet service. I picked an internet plan on tmobile to activate the phone, and switched to a text & talk only plan afterwards so I could use the just phone's wifi for internet. Hope this helps! :)

Yes, you can. That's what I did. I just stuck my existing SIM card from my non-smart phone and my plan remained the same (10 cents/min only). I also turned off the Data setting to ensure my phone never attempts to use Data.

It does require a simcard. You may ask for a free activation kit from Lightahead for NET10 , AT &T connection if you need one.

If I put my t-mobile sim card into this phone (i'm on a plan without the data package), will I be able to use the wifi in my house or other wifi locations without incurring an internet usage fee from t-mobile?

Know it doesn't come with a SIM card. You can use a T-Mobile or Simple Mobile Prepaid SIM

Idk for sure. I would think so though. If you don't want to buy a SIM card and pay monthly for it you could just use wifi. That's what I did and it worked fine.

As long as it's not the Google Play Edition, it has wifi calling. And you don't need a T-moble router. My wifi calling works fine with my netgear router, and any other router I've connected to.

NO you cannot.. You can just connect the base with a router and the phone would work without any computer..

If it's on the Virgin Mobile network you don't need a sim card. I have used it as a wifi only devicce when I couldn't pay my bill.

It needs to have a active SIM card with a data plan to work. It won't connect to another Wi-Fi. If you have a router that supports USB ethernet then you can use this to provide mobile data to that router.

No you don't. I have other Samsung Galaxy(s) that do not have SIM cards. They work just fine with WiFi in the home and connecting to a Hotspot. By the way, I have verizon too.
