It uses wifi and cellular service to connect to the internet. For wifi you must be in a hot spot (such as home, office, etc.). If you are not in a wifi hot spot you can connect through a cellular phone network if you are in the service area. The cellular service area is much larger than wifi hot spot coverage. In this case, only AT&T; and T-mobile systems are supported. It's like adding a cellphone connect card to your laptop. And yes, you pay for the cellular service.

ive seen the phone that works with AT&T, its the r800a, this phone (r800i) works on all carriers. but i dont know if it works on all carriers 3g, i have 3g with 900 MHz, i have not probed it on other frecuencies.

Why does it say it offers email and instant messaging services if there's no wi-fi?I'm wondering because I used to have a phone that accessed my email through some other way than the internet. I was never charged for internet service, but it was instead treated (billing-wise) as a text message. I've been trying to find something like that ever since, with no success so far. So, if there's no wi-fi, does it access email??

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.

I ordered the C6802 which is what Sony was selling for American customers and was said to work with ATT which I am on. At ATT, they said it was an International phone and had a different terminology for the network. Works fine. I know nothing about International or what networks are what. Glad yours is working for you. Mine works awesome. I love it.

It means the mobile broadband is not locked to AT&T. You should be able to use it with international carriers as well as domestic carriers including like T-Mobile. Just make sure the carrier allows for SIM cards.

Thanks Darth. It did detect and configure the ATT access points - ATT Internet and ATT MediaNet. However, when I tried to go online, it says "packet data not found". I compare the ATT Internet settings with my E71. Everything is same. I cannot figure out why E71 can go online but 5800 cannot. Could it be some issue with SIM card, like SIM card not allowed to access ATT Internet. I have no problem in getting SMS.

KennethProblem is with the ATT, not 5800. 5800 works fine with another SIM card. I am stuck somewhere in no man's land. Nokia cannot fix this problem because it not their problem and ATT will not fix the problem because it non-ATT phone. So, my problem persists.

I'm not sure what you mean? It has nothing to do with AT&T..; It uses near by cell towers but delivers wifi independently of AT&T; or Verizon... It my use their towers but that's about it.. I think they have a 30 day guarantee. So if it doesn't work in you location you can return it for a refund.. Hope that helps..

Its a GSM phone meaning it uses a SIM card. AT&T; and T-Mobile are GSM networks. I use T-Mobile and it works fine. Hope this helps.

These phones are getting harder to find. The seller must clearly state that the phone is designed to work with only AT&T; or all of the functions will not work. Steer clear of the phones that are "compatible" with multiple carriers, because functions like texting pictures will not work.

I don't know what that means. I bought the divice through Amazon and they ordered a Sim card and i was off and running. As long as it says it will work with US Cellular it will work.This phone will only work on US Cellular network.

Hmmm this is an interesting thread. I am in the exact situation as the OP. I am getting conflicting information, so help me out with this:Can I just transfer my sim card to the N8 and use all of it's features without signing up for a data plan? Will T-Mobile be able to detect if my phone is a smart phone if all I do is access the internet through wifi? I don't want anything to change with my plan, money is already tight. Would it really be necessary for me to call Tmobile and request that they not allow any data access? Wouldn't that tip them off to the fact that I bought an unlocked phone?

You have AT&T; SIM card coming with the Tablet, that could be activated on AT&T; cell network, but do not required.You can use it on WiFi without Cell connection. You have WiFi and Mobil Network(Cell) built-in, but you can chose how it will connect. Hope it helps...
