Android without a carrier?

[TheEeveeLovers]

No you don't need a carrier to activate your Android.

The only thing you need is a Gmail account.

You can use an Android completely without any data plan. You can use Wifi to get apps, do your web and run email. You need to activate your Android through wifi by setting up the wifi and then once you have an internet connection, login to your GMail account.

I use various unlocked no carrier Androids by the way. My SIM is carried over from a Nokia smartphone.

Usually you don't need carrier service to activate and use an Android phone. Only exception might be carrier version locked and subsidized devices, but I've never had or seen any of those.
