Q: can i use this without mobile service for my grand child?

submitted by grannysk - 13 days ago

  • A: Yes, your grandchild can absolutely use the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G over Wi-Fi for games, videos, and apps without an active cellular plan! However, please keep in mind that the best device pricing often requires activation, and a mobile plan is necessary for making traditional calls or texting away from home. Check out our affordable family options at boostmobile.com to see how we can keep the whole family connected!

    Great phone!

    The battery life is amazing, although it does overheat causing lag. And the camera quality is by far the best. The display is also great fast responding.and last but not least the connectivity is really good. The performance could be a little better. But overall this is a very cheap and great first phone is you're not looking for something to expensive.
