Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

If your BB has a microSIM on AT&T and you buy an unlocked iPhone you could use it to activate the iPhone then return it to your BB, assuming your work has not locked this out. Or you could get a microSIM from AT&T, start an account, activate the iPhone then cancel the account and pay the $350 ETF. The problem with this route is if you had to restore the iPhone you would have to do it again.
Trust me, the camera on the iPhone 4s is not worth the over $1,000 you would have to pay.
You could also wait until next year when they upgrade the camera on the Touch.

I said it just came to Venezuela only had to comectarme a wi fi zone to turn smoothly. I've been trying and I could not, tells me to retry or do so through the itunes. thanks

  • Can an unlocked iphone 4S be used in two countries with local carriers?

    I spend 1/2 my time in US and 1/2 in Malaysia. I would like to buy an iphone 4S and use the phone with a local carrier in US and Maxis in Malaysia. Can this be done if I buy a factory unlocked phone?

    Yes.  That's the whole point of an unlocked phone.  The carrier has to be GSM.  However, not all GSM carriers support all iPhone features.  Pick ones that are official iPhone carriers (i.e. sell iPhones) to be sure.

  • Can a locked iPhone 4s be used as a iPod?

    Hi,
    My car has Lockpick which interfaces my iPhone 4 to the stereo. I like how it works.
    I want to upgrade to an iPhone 5s but the new interface won't work with my car. Since my iPhone 4 memory is filled with songs (32g) I was thinking of getting a used iPhone 4s 64g and using it in my car exclusively. There's no reason to make calls anymore since I'll be using it mostly as a disk device.
    Question... Can I buy a "locked" iPhone from eBay, which sell for less than working phones, and use it as a iPod touch? Plus bluetooth and wifi.
    To clarify, I'd like to buy a locked phone, connect it to my Mac, download songs, then play them in my car (which uses a wired connector via the 30 pin interface).
    I assume I might need to put my iPhone 4 32g (which is my current phone) sim into the locked iPhone 4s 64g I plan to buy used.
    And again, the lockpick (tm) interface in my car won't work with the new iPhone 5s, I don't want to use it even if I could. I'd rather install a no functioning phone/computer permanently in my car.
    Thank you for any advice you can offer.

    So if I unserstand you correctly there are two types of locks. One from the carrier (which can be circumvented with another valid sim) and a device lock from apple (Bricked?) which can never be undone.
    Actually there are other types of locks, but the only ones you'd need to worry about are the lock to the carrier and the Activation Lock.
    Is there a visual indicator of the perminent lock on the screen?
    No. There is no indicator of any type of the carrier lock. You won't know until you try to use another carrier's SIM. You'd find the Activation Lock if you tried to change the iCloud settings or erase or restore the iPhone. If Activation Lock is set, it would insist on the previous owner's Apple ID and password.

    Contact Sprint. They are the only ones that can authorize an unlock. No one else can. If they refuse to unlock, there is nothing you can do but sell the device and get another phone.

  • Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

    Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

    It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!

    If i buy a Unlocked iphone 4s and use it in another country, will it work with the countrys Local data Services

    hi guys,
    i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
    Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
    iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
    -Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
    - Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
    - Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
    - Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
    - Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
    - Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
    - Wait until iTunes detects the phone
    - iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
    - Phone Unlocked
    - just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
    and iphone is unlocked
    NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
    This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
    Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
    All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.
