No, there's no need for a mobile phone. All TomTom devices that offer LIVE Services are ready to use. You do not need to connect anything and can directly make use of the free introductory subscription to LIVE Services for 1 year.

However, if your TomTom supports Bluetooth™ Handsfree calling, you may connect a mobile phone to your device, to take advantage of this feature.

Your TomTom LIVE GPS will prompt you when your trial is almost up. Tap 'Yes' on the screen and enter your email address to continue accessing LIVE Services.

You will then receive an e-mail with simple instructions on how to renew your LIVE Services subscription via MyTomTom.

If you decide not to renew your LIVE Services subscription once the free introductory period has ended, you will still be able to use all the GPS navigation functions of your device. And, if you decide to renew your subscription to LIVE Services at a later date, it's easy to subscribe via MyTomTom.

There is no minimum subscription period to LIVE Services. You can end it at any time - all you need to do is give one month’s notice.

You can only use your LIVE Services subscription in the country where your TomTom GO LIVE GPS was purchased.
