Can i get an iPhone with no service?

ok i have an ipod touch but want to upgrade to an iPhone and give my ipod to my brother. the only thing is my dad wont let me off sprint. Is it possible that i can just buy an iPhone and use it as is so it would be just like an iPod touch with a camera and speaker....and free updates.
I herd u cant leave the Apple store or AT&T store with out putting it on an account.
could i buy it at like best buy or ebay or the online apple store and not have to do that?
would that effect anything other than no txting,phone and 3G network?

No you cannot do that.
The iphone is subsidized, which is why it is only $199/$299. AT&T takes a loss on the sale of the iphone in exchange for making the money back on a two year contract.
There has been talk that they will sell it without contract in the future for $599/$699.
Sorry, but there are no free lunches.

  • Can i activate my iPhone with no service

    i dont have service on my iPhone and i upgrade yesterday but i can't access to the springboard 

    The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.

  • Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

  • How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

    How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
    I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned."  I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile.  I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number.  But the person it says is not the person I said. 
    It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

    Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7.  Then it went out the window.  I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem.  If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.

  • How can I get my iPhone to be recognized in network preferences as it has recently disappeared? Running snow leopard on MBP with 5.1.1 on iPhone?

    If that's not yours expect the other to come up first.
    Note even a 4G or LTE could be faster then a WiFi.
      if so it will default to that.
    Yes, thanks. Seems logical.
    But you know the annoying thing is... The really annoying thing, is that my network runs on a £250.00 Apple Time Capsule, but my neighbours runs on the free router he got with his broadband package...

    How is iTunes telling you it is unlocked? Did you go through an unlock procedure with your cell company and then Restore it in iTunes?

  • My iphone can not get in touch with the server. What can I do?

    My Iphone can not get in touch with the server, when I am trying to accept terms and conditions. What can I do?

    Possible causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

    Can I get callback tones with my Iphone 5?

    If you mean what my carrier calls "ringback tones", it all depends on what your carrier offers. Ringback tones aren't a feature of the phone. They are a carrier feature and will work on any phone. I use them on my iPhone. Drives my brother crazy.
