Does it require a monthly charge?

There is no monthly charge however, if you want to keep track of Vacation and Holidays, it requires an "Upgrade" to do that which cost me, I think, about $179.00. No charges after that.

NO, you do not need to pay anythings to use it. I was using it for over a year and i did not have any problem with it.

No there is no monthly fee. Knowing Garmin, they want you to have to buy the Astro 320 instead of giving you an app. Not 100% sure about the app though.

nope and that's why I returned it. You still have to have monthly service, nowhere in there a does it say that. I fully installed the entire system and could not get to work with my phone until I called them and they tried to sign me up for the monthly fee. I sent it back and Amazon refunded me my money after reading their ad. Sorry.

Nope no fee! I've had it about a year now. You do get charged a certain percentage per transaction but it's fairly small.

There was not a monthly fee when I purchased this in 2011. I recall the minutes being expensive, but when you are overseas, it's to be expected. When minutes got low it prompted me to buy more in $5.00 increments, which was a good feature.

No. There were no additional charges. The following month I switched to the $30 per month plan by selecting it online (it defaults to the $50 monthly plan). No phone calls, misunderstandings or hassles.

No, there is no monthly or annual service fee (as long as Google Voice remains free). There is only the device fee.

Yes, but... you have to supply a credit card and sign up for a monthly subscription to get the 30 days.

NO, there is no monthly fees. This is great unit and I still use it almost every day. But, it basically has the same functionality of a smart phone (Iphone, Android phone), plus a $2-$3 app (e.g tunein) and a speaker (like Ihome or JBL) designed for smart phone. Any stations that you can get on this radio, can be gotten on the smart phone or a tablet with WiFi and then routed to the speaker.

No, you don't pay a monthly fee- I usually buy minutes for 3 months at a time and what I don't use roll over. It is possible to buy minutes for a whole year but I don't always use my phone very much so the 3 month deal works for me.

yes but need to ask them to activate it for you since you will not have the PIN. they did that for me and i only had to pay the month fee for plan i picked.

I dont' pay anything. I think the only way you have to pay a monthly fee is if you use there cloud for storage of your documents. I store them on my PC so I don't pay anything. Hope that helps

No. However if you have no plan, you will be charged for the amount of data used. So, although there's no requirement, you probably want a plan.

Yes, however it's not a contract agreement. Basically you pay for it when you want to use it, by the month. It's $60 a month.

No it does not, that is the beauty of this unit, you don't have to pay any monthly fees. It works well... my Dad busted his leg and used the mini microphone to talk to me 50 miles away.
