just another comment, repeat i am sorry but am understand the phone use for wifi works but also may use up minutes on phone and wifi megabytes. i use the wifi and the phone, inexpensive with our plan, only $20 for the wifi. Also double check; if yo are retired, like me, i used to have a discount through my employer and guess what, my state retirement pension qualified me for a 15% discount which enables me to offset the cost of the wifi, Verizon is my service. I am not endorsing this company but have been with them since inception and have had basically no issues, only the actual phone or device which had been resolved. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
