Hello R. Rodman, you do not need a carrier, I have been using my on wifi only, it's like a small tablet. I connect it to my home network, use Andftp and upload the pictures to my server.

You can use wifi only without going through a carrier. However, if you have a data network packet with your carrier you can use it with your SIM card and still get wifi. Otherwise you do not need carrier for you to be able to use the internet. I hope this helps.

This is like your phone. You have to get the WiFi from a company before use it. Yes, you have to pay monthly fee for the company when using the WiFi ,just like pay the WiFi for the phone.

If the hotel has wifi you don't need a wireless router. This is used to create a wireless connection from a wired earthnet connection.

yes, but check with your carrier. Be aware of additional charges. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/08/stay-in-touch-without-racking-up-big-wireless-bills/index.htm

No monthly fee, but internet service is necessary. Works as most other wireless routers

The great thing about the T-Mobile wi-fi: even if you leave on the access to the 3g network, the wi-fi takes precedence. Therefore you will not be charged against your data allotment. Pretty cool.

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.

Nope, but as another individual stated, if you have the resources you can convert your cell phone into a hotspot to get the connectivity you want. Actually had to do this when I moved -- the connectivity in the hotel was garbage and wasn't secured. Using my cell worked out well, but cost me a bit more per month.

Yes. That's not a problem. They will include a monthly data fee, if it is not part of your plan already, (for updates) but not enough to use the internet regularly.

Since you're not purchasing it from AT&T;, you're not obligated to anything with them. You can use it solely on wifi or sign a month to month with AT&T.;

As long as you have Wi-Fi you do not need service mine connects to Wi-Fi at home or any free Wi-Fi If it is through a company with no Wi-Fi then you will need service

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T.; T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.

You have to have a data plan with a carrier in order to use wireless without a router. If you are within range of wifi connection and know the password (some dont require a password) you can use that service. The data plan is handy when you're on the road. Most public places have wifi available. Your device will ask you which service you want to use

Its not paid up front it costs a monthly fee. You can connect to wi fi at places that furnish it like business that offer it free. Otherwise you have to pay for it through Verizon or any others that offer the service you pay for.

Well, yes, if you want to use internet on a go. And, no, if you intend to use only calling/texting. And, of course, there's wi-fi which is mostly free :)

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