Phone question since it is a computer

Android user. Moto g
I may port the number to another provider for a deal. Phone may not work on that system so they have a free one to get me started.

If I keep the old Moto G after the number is ported. Would I still be able to connect it to the internet, take pictures with it And continue to upload the photos to the cloud like Google photos? I think so. Just checking.

the rest you could do with a wifi connection, either on your home network or public wifi.

Try everything out by shutting cellular data off in your settings.

It becomes a tablet.

Been a long time since I used android but basics are basic. Good luck.
