With this tablet is there a cell phone contract needed or does it work on wifi like a laptop?

It works with wifi like a laptop. I am not aware that its capable of phone service unless your speaking about that app face time.Regards,Joseph Van Buren

No contract. You'll need to activate it on your AT&T; wireless account. I'd try and get it working before you pay for it, if you can.

Anywhere there is WiFi. It is't a tablet is tied to a wireless plan It's a good little tablet but not as intuitive as more recent generations are but still handy for web surfing or downloading books.

Yes it does require a contract. Also, let me caution you, we were very disappointed in the phone. We bought it as new and it clearly is not a new phone!

The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 does not have a SIM card slot so no contract with a telco is required since it can only communicate over WiFi and Bluetooth. One charge lasts me 48 hours, but if you use it constantly that time will obviously be shorter.

WiFi for sure. Not sure if it has built in 4G, but you could add 4G like you would on a laptop through USB. The tablet is just a laptop with no keyboard running windows 8.

Correct you are able to connect to the Internet. But if you are asking how does it connect it is wifi capable. That's the only method unless I belive other versions are cellular and wifi capable. Make sure you read specs usually the cellular tablets cost more.

WiFi and Bluetooth only. No place for a Sim card..... No contract with a carrier.

The tablet comes equipped with Wi-Fi connect capabilities, so if there is Wi-Fi in the area it will get online. It does not come with any sort of 3G or 4G capability.

In order to be connected to the internet you have to have wifi available and have the wifi turned on the tablet. The tablet is 3g enabled as long as you have internet.

Only two way to get internet on the tablet: 1.) It can connect to you home WiFi (or anywhere that has free WiFi) 2.) If you use your cellphone as a WiFi hotspot, you can connect to it that way.

Yes, there is no contract. You have to tell Verizon if you don't want the other options. I had an issue with my phone where the front screen turned white and the inside screen was blank. I got it shut off after a couple of tries, left it off for a little bit, then turned it back on. So far it's been working. I really like the phone except for that problem. I don't want a smart phone and this is nice for texting, better than a flip phone.

No, this model does not need a sim card. It is a Wi-Fi only model, and it cannot connect to Verizon Wireless or AT&T Wireless, etc, cellular networks. I think that Dell is working on another version of this tablet that will support a sim card and could communicate on cellular networks, but right now, this is a Wi-Fi only tablet.

Yup! Although I used mine with a contract, I know it will work without a contract as long as it has a SIM card!

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.

You forgot to mention "Tablet?"... ... yes to all... also there is a wifi piece that it brings to make the tablet wireless...
