hi, newbie here,

i have a question about the Samsung galaxy note 2, i am thinking to buy a unlocked note2 and plan to use it as tablet since i have cell phone already.
i have a lte 4G hotspot in my car, i am wondering, if there is no sim card, can still use note2 by wifi connection? i mean, like the GLONASS GPS system still working properly? further more, i plan to use sip VOIP to make and receive international long distance calls, will that be a problem?

any potential problem if i use note 2 via a LTE 4G hotspot wifi connection?

thanks! and wish you guys have a great weekend!

You should be able to still use it via the wifi connection. But as far as the hotspot are you planning to use it off of your phone if so you should be fine.

And the only way that your GPS is going to function correctly is if you have data running. Because the maps uses data to load. But if you go into Google maps while connected to a Wi-Fi connection, then you're able to download the map area so you can use it offline. It's in the setting menu of the maps.
Just my 2¢
