PLAYBOOK WITH WIFI ONLY

MY BLACKBERRY HAS WIFI ONLY, SO WHAT DO I NEED TO GET CONNECTED TO IT? NOT READY COMPUTER OR TABLET SMART. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

You don't say if you have a new PlayBook or got a used one from somewhere else. Presuming you are starting out with a new PlayBook, you can click on the link below that takes you to a blog on setting up the PlayBook for the first time:
Setting up WiFi PlayBook
If you have picked up a used PlayBook and it has already been set up, then you make a WiFi connection by clicking on the third menu symbol in from the top right (after swiping in from the top right) which looks like a series of concentric arcs. Make sure the slider on the right is set to "on". Click on the concentric arcs which brigs up the WiFi menu.
Once in that menu, if a WiFi signal is available, it will show up on the list on the right. Click on one of the available networks. The easiest is to pick an open one. Encrypted ones will prompt you for a password and possibly more information. If you are connecting to your home's WiFi, just enter the information from your home connection.
Good luck,
PlayBook 64GB and 32 GB

I have an IPad Air with wifi only. What do I have to do when traveling in Europe to receive wifi?

You have to locate acessible WiFi networks. Most major hotels now have WiFi.

Thanks, After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done), I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time. It worked! Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans.

I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

It will only show if the device is turned on. And if someone else has it, they can turn that feature off. Your best options are to return to the location where you think you lost it, and see if anyone returned it. Also contact your local law enforcement.

Can I use my iphone 5s with wifi only if I don't have a cell phone plan

Can I use my iphone 5s with wifi only if I don't have a cell phone plan

Yyou will need a SIM card to activate it.
It does not have to be an active SIM card.
Once you have activated it, it should work just fine.

Face Time with Wifi only iPad to iPhone

Is it possible to Face Time on a Wifi only iPad from an iPhone ? Or on a Mac Book Pro from iPhone

To answer my own question, the answer is yes. Add the phone number you want to Face Time with, on the iPad. It works just fine.

Is gps possible on iPad mini with wifi only?

The specs for the new retina ipad mini show gps capability for only the wifi+cellular model, and not the wifi only version.
I've only ever needed wifi enabled iPads, hotspotting them with my iphone, so I'm wondering, is there any way to get the ipad to use the iPhone's cellular capability and show gps mapping? Of course I could just use the iphone, but the iPad mini screen is much better.

mende1, where did you get "Personal Hotspot is designed to make GPS work in Wi-Fi-only devices"? Since for location the iPod use the location of wifi router that are in Apple's database. Since the iPhone does not have a permanent location, it is not in Apple's database. This is confirmed by other posts and ggfromcp statement that "In the past I've tried this with my ipad2 and it hasn't worked".

HT1689 I bought an Ipad recently with WiFi only - can I now upgrade to a 4G connection?

Do you have to get 4g connection when you first buy the Ipad or can you change your mind and upgrade from Wifi only to 4G coverage?

There is no upgrade.
You can get a mifi device and plan from your cell provider or use your cell phone as a hotspoy if it has hotspot capability and you have a hotspot plan.

Can you use facetime with wifi only? No SIM card in iphone4

Party A: No SIM Card, in US, calling using WIFI
Party B: SIM Card, in another country, receiving calls, with WIFI
Can Party A and B connect through Facetime?
Thanks for your time.

You can make video calls through skype.I think without sim you cannot use facetime because facetime needs your sim number.
Slight correction: FaceTime on the *iPhone* needs your SIM number. FaceTime on the iPod Touch, iPad and MacOS have no such need.
This is one of the things I hate about Apple. Why not just allow everything to behave the same? Why should FaceTime, a non-cellular application, have to behave differently on the iPhone than on all other platforms?
(I also don't like that Videos lives in the iPod app on the iPhone, but has it's own app on the iPod Touch and iPad)

How to update my iPad 5.0 to 7.0 with wifi only

How can I update my iPad from iso 5.1 to iso 7.1 over wifi only?
Thanks, Kenneth

If your iPad has no cameras on it, it is a first generation iPad 1
The original iPad 1 cannot be upgraded past iOS 5.1.1.
Sorry.

Using iPhone with WiFi only while traveling

I will be traveling to Europe in a few months and will be taking my iPhone4 with me. I want to avoid spending a fortune to use my phone while I'm there and have the Line2 app (I will forward my normal calls to my Line2 number) and will pay for a month's worth of service. I know that I can disable cellular data and data roming but I want to know if it is possible to ensure that my phone does not connect to any local cell networks and only connects to available WiFi networks, is this possible?

I live in Germany and I can tell ya now that you will not be using your phone much unless your hotel has free wifi. There are not many places that have free wifi. I was in the states last December and most stores and restaurants had wifi. It was great! Traveling within Europe I cannot use my phone outside of Germany without racking on roaming charges. I have had a couple of large bills when my husband and I got lost in a few different places and used the maps app. Cheaper to buy a European navi. Make sure whatever hotel you stay at has free wifi.
