In order to use an Android phone with the app (Engine Driver) that interfaces to JMRI via WiFi, is it neccessary to have a phone service on the phone?

Can one simply find a used/no plan phone and still connect to WiFi and get the app on the phone???

Any suggestions???

take care ,,, ken
 
Yes. Android phone can run on just wifi without cell service. Look for phones with a bad ESN. They can't be activated and are typically a lot cheaper. Also look at getting an Android tablet instead. There are wifi only models and offer larger screens.
 
I just bought an android my touch 3G for $10 for the sole purpose of running engine driver. Works just fine without phone service.
