Can I use my home WIFI on this phone without activating the phone with VM? I want this phone for my 8 yr old and to use it like a tablet, nothing more

I never tried that, but I can tell you from experience that I was able to connect my previous phone to my WIFI after VM was no longer active.

Yes you can. But it is still slow to load and has issues handling apps without freezing and crashing

Yes you can. You do not need to have the phone active with Virgin Mobile service to use WiFi

Yes you can definitely use apps without activating it, that's the great purks about this phone.

Do you mean cell and data or just data service? It can be used without using Mobile data but as far as I know it can't be activated without a data plan it can be used to an extent as a touch screen device if it has no data or cell plan but only if you connect it to a WiFi network. That said I would say no it can't be used without an Internet/data service

there is a simple app on the second page over of apps. click it and it connects. Actually our house has a wi-fi system being in the country side for our internet, so we are our own hot spot.!( no cable out here) It works on the phone great!

You can only use what is downloaded to the tablet without a wifi connection otherwise you have to purchase a data plan. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

You can use it with your wi-fi network or plug it in via network cable from a router to the device. Or, you can also use a wireless card from Verizon, etc..

They use SIM card, so you will have to activate their SIM to use the phone. Check their website Net10wireless.com. Regards.

You can use this iPad with a simple Wi-Fi connection. When, and if, you travel, you can activate the AT&T; data connection for a month or so and then deactivate the data connection when you get home. This is what I have been doing for about 3 years (and with 2 iPads).

The one I bought didn't, you can use your existing4G SIM card with it.I had an older 3G card it worked with it too but some of the data functions didn't so I took it to the local at&t; store and they switch out my card for me.also my brother has a GoPhone account which worked with it as well you just have to buy data for the account to use internet without WIFI.

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, no problem this phone works perfect just with wifi, it is not necesary put the sim card to use it.

Yes, that is correct. I myself have chosen to only use for WiFi at the moment but have already verified I can add it to my Verizon account should I ever choose to.

You can use it over Wi-Fi regardless which one you get, but not all are not capable with Verizon 4G or 3G depending on your area. The difference is the hardware. In order to get one that can use wireless service, you should buy one from Verizon despite they are more expensive. Check out Radio Hospital Lima, Ohio and call them. Google it. They just might be able to hook you up with one for $250. They have only 2, but nobody is really looking at them. Tablets don't sell in the area that fast. This is as of 6/24/2013.

you can disable the wifi and can not use it to activate again. And if you do not purchase a data plan with your preferred telephony would not have active internet. hope will be of your help. see you soon ..

The phone can be used as a wifi device without a sim card. However, if you want to download any apps you have to have a SIM card.

You would need a carrier to make phone calls and you won't need the data plan if you use WiFi the phone uses a card
