A:AnswerCheck with Samsung. If you have an extended warrantee through a retailer, check with them. A lot of warrantees are not valid out of the USA. Good luck!
A:AnswerDepends on what you mean by "link". If you are talking about using the phone as a wireless hotspot for your your iPad I would use an app called FoxFi and not the Verizon hot spot service that they charge you monthly for.*
As a side note, FoxFi has a one time $8 cost (at the time i bought it 2 years ago) for the full/unlocked version. The free version has a cap that will disconnect all wireless devices from the hotspot so you have to reconnect your stuff every time you hit the limit (i think the free version cap was about 200 MB but I forget). Depending on how much data you will be using, it is well worth the one time $8 fee for the unlocked version to remove the cap and not having the disconnect hassle. With FoxFi you are only limited by how much data you have on your Verizon plan and don't have to pay the monthly Verizon hotspot fee for using Verizon's hotspot app.*

A:AnswerI use Straight Talk which is Trac-phone really. Works fine. I did have to buy a sim kit for it to work but I had it up and calling in a matter of minutes.
A:AnswerConsumer Cellular says "To be compatible with our service, your phone should be an unlocked phone previously used with AT&T or T-Mobile".
So the answer for this phone seems to be YES.
A:AnswerHey there, Hank. We thank you for your interest in our product as well as your inquiry. This device should be compatible with TracFone as it appears to be built for GSM networks. We would strongly advise confirming this with your carrier of choice. Thank you for your time!
A:AnswerThe battery is NOT REMOVABLE. I bought one for my son. I own an S5 which does have a cover you can take off thank God as it will freeze up at times and there is no other way to solve that issue but to remove battery. The unlocked S7 does NOT have a removable back, which I hate. No way to replace the battery or remove it if the phone freezes up. Samsung should have left the removable backs alone instead of trying to be like Apple.
A:AnswerI also purchased the unlocked S7 and no, it does not come with a SIM card. It does not have any service provider features or apps previously installed. The SIM card is unique to each service provider and needs to be obtained through them.
Keep in mind, this phone uses a mini SIM card. They're very common now.
A:AnswerVirgin Mobile will not activate an unlocked android device. They don't sell them on their website
'out of stock', and Best Buy doesn't have any Virgin Mobile phones. I believe Virgin Mobile is
slowly getting out of the android phone business.
If you look at their plans on their website, the ONLY plan that comes up is the Circle plan, which
supports iphones only. The handwriting is on the wall!
Try Tracfone.
