FAQ
Does it need a phone?
No — No.
Does it work offline?
Offline: Official chart: none.
Is a subscription required for face-to-face talk?
Usually not. First-year required cost only counts fees needed for two-person face-to-face talk. Optional call/media upgrades stay out of that total when known.
Are the official price and the Amazon price the same?
Not necessarily. Official first-year figures come from the dated store check. Amazon may show a different checkout or Prime price. Pay what Amazon shows at checkout if you buy there.
