Dont waste your money with this phone. Brand new out of the box the mic did not work so i couldnt talk during calls and it lags worse than windows 98. If you like this style of phone spend the extra money and buy the maxx hd. It is much better. I had it until it broke and it was very fast and reliable.

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.

Yes, this phone is a Wifi Enabled Phone, I'm not sure if it would work if you are just using it as a Wifi for Internet usage.

Am not sure what you mean by hotspot but, you just need to go to settings and set it up to automatically pick up any available wifi. Hope this answers you question.

Yes any app that you use can be used with wifi so fb, messenger, snapchat, kik, Twitter, emails etc. as long as you are on a wifi network it will come through fine just no calls or normal texts until it's activated

If you purchase the T-Mobile version specifically then yes. But the global version of the phone will not have WiFi calling.

Yes it is wifi capable; but if you're looking to use it as a hotspot, it will not work for that.

Are you referring to a SIM card or an SD card because those are two completely different things... It does have and SD card slot for additional storage. It does not have a SIM car slot to utilize a wireless cellular network like Verizon or AT&T.; WiFi only, you can always just download FoxFi to your smart phone and then the tablet can access internet anywhere your phone can.

If you're using CDMA/ Verizon service they will not let you use your phone as a mobile hotspot. Any other services will. I have at&t service and I can use it with my phone

I had a portable hotspot for the wifi, but if you turn on connection sharing on your phone it will work as a hotspot even if you phone is connected to the stereo (cable or bluetooth). Keep in mind this will use up your data plan.

Sorry it can not, that was one of the first things I tried. I just ended up putting my phones sim card into it and just using it at my normal phone.

yes it's possible for wi-fi calling however you will not be able to use the carrier assigned phone number. You can use Bobsled, grooveIP (with google phone number), viber, skype via wi-fi. In my experience when using this phone under normal carrier 2/3g it was really delayed on the voice quality.

Yes. Just a warning, if you are using the hotspot so someone can gravitate to your wifi, the connection speed and service is awful. It limits the person to what they can do. That's something I noticed.

Yes, of course! You can use it only with Wifi, but it is a waste of capacity, because this devise can use 2 sim cards

It can serve as a wifi hot spot. Any device with wireless apater or wifi capability should be able to connect to this device.

Yes you can. For the first couple if months I had this phone that's all I had. It will tell you when wifi is available though.
