Yes, you will have to select/buy a data plan through whoever you get your sim card from, e.g.,T-Mobile. You should also check the coverage map (e.g.,T-Mobile) for your area to see if it is suitable for you.

This one is WiFi only... The LTE data version is $150 more and monthly data rates range from $30 to $80 per month

Roku doesn't charge a monthly fee, however you do need to enter a payment method. This is for any charges you may incur for movie channels, etc.

I have a tmobile $30/ 30 mb plan and its charging me over 1/2 megabyte a day when the phone literally sat on a charger on my local wifi. My account is almost out of its 30 mb plan and I'm not using data at all.What a rip off!

It is free to browse if you are strictly on your ISP WI FI network. initially I had to straighten this out with Tmobile. They haven't tried to charge since. Just make sure you Always launch using the browser, and not Tmobile (T) web2go

Just pay the monthly fee for the amont of data you use. No connection fee once you buy the device.

Yes, $50 and that doesn't include service or data. Very expensive. I pay almost 400 per month for internet!

No monthly service fee. The only charge is the $1.99 if you need additional "e keys" for family or temporary guests.

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.

NO, there is no monthly fees. This is great unit and I still use it almost every day. But, it basically has the same functionality of a smart phone (Iphone, Android phone), plus a $2-$3 app (e.g tunein) and a speaker (like Ihome or JBL) designed for smart phone. Any stations that you can get on this radio, can be gotten on the smart phone or a tablet with WiFi and then routed to the speaker.

Yes but company will charge aprox $10.00 for Internet even if you don't want it for that.

Yes, it is intended to create hotspots or wifi networks in small commercial buildings like hotels. You can set it up to charge for use in a variety of ways.

The first poster is wrong, it does NOT require a paid subscription.Like others stated you can use a controller like the MiCasa Verde Vera 3 to link it to your home network / internet.

They typically will charge you 10$ a month for internet, when I had this phone. Otherwise if you can get around not getting a data plan (the 10$ was as low as I could get them to go), they'll charge you by how much data you use (which can get pretty pricy!!)

Yes, there is a fee, which is around $80 per year. We were paying more than that per month to AT&T.;

Nope nothing else to add for the most part as far as charges go. I think my bill is like 90 a month, but its 40 for my plan, 30 for the internet and I think 15 or so for texts. The way I look at it is while its high price IMO, it breaks down to about a dollar a day for internet. For me its worth it. There are apps for myspace and facebook so while I don't nessarliy use the browser everyday I do use the internet part every day.

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.
