We downloaded voxer and use it as a direct walkie talkie to talk to kids. Good app. Otherwise its a tablet not a phone. Im sure any wifi phone app will work but voxer is all weve tried it is free

No, you may not use this as a phone, but you can install an application that will allow you to talk over wifi. (But you probably will need to buy minutes)

I bought it not to use as a phone, but to use it as a mini portable tablet. I did not set up monthly phone service and it works well at home and on the go. Many places where I live have wifi so there is always a place to use it. I also got the Magic Jack app to I can make calls when I have a wifi connection. There are a lot of people who complain about this phone, but I spent $10 and it does everything I need and want. If you do not like the more economical phones and want a high monthly payment, then go ahead and spend $200-$300 on a fancy phone. For the rest of us, this phone will do nicely.

I personally did not, but had to call and talk to an actual person to activate it (versus doint the #228 auto activation). However, this phone is awful... it is not user friendly. Also, I had two of these and both would shut off randomly; many technical problems. You will likely regret having this phone.

One of the things that attracted me to it was the ability to host 2 SIMS. I found that only AT&T/T-Mobile offered SIMS without attaching a phone to it. It worked as a phone.. sorta. It could not transfer data via the data link. I called AT&T service via the tablet and found that the servers didn't understand how to transfer it because they don't have a profile for it. So, I suppose it will act as a phone anywhere, it may not be able to connect the world wide web...

I haven't tried it, in fact I don't use that phone anymore. But I worked great on AT&T; and Verizon.

Yes. That is how I am using it. I am also using PhoneTray application on my laptop to screen and monitor incoming calls. Has been working fine.

No this can't be used as a phone. Only you can put a SIM card and is good to be connected over Internet while traveling.

Yes.I have done that with mine. You just put in your existing SIM and it will be fine for voice and messaging. I only get data service when connecting through wifi though.

No, this phone can NOT be used as a regular phone. Despite its appearance, it does not have a phone jack. It can, however, be used as a SIP phone as well.

This is not a phone; it just a camera with some phone functions like app or music. You can't use it as GSM but as tablet. Hope my answer help. Good luck

It should function just fine use it as a dumb phone using wifi for data instead. Just keep an eye on the apps to see if they try to access cellular data.

Yes an I do quite often, not only can you receive a call but depending upon your phone you can make calls as well. I love my device my only complaint is that it's sometimes a bit difficult finding a decent radio station. I hope this helps you.

it can't be used as a regular phone, its an IP Phone. This requires an account from a voip service vendor.

Hey, mine worked great for about two months caller ID, phone calls and music. Now not working, it's seems really hit or miss. I know a few guys that it wouldn't work for either. If get for a cheap price like I did go for it, if not I'd try something else. Just my two cents.
