Can I use an old iPhone 4 verizon without a plan and just use it like an iPod?

Hi,
I received my sisters old iPhone 4 Verizon because she has upgraded. My contract doesn't expire for a while, so can I just use it like you would an iPod? No calling or texting, just as like an iPod touch.
Thank you.

Somoene please provide an answer that works for a Verizon phone. This is a perplexing issue,
In your case, just start using it as an iPod (essentially a Touch).  You can do everything but make calls or sending SMS/MMS (but I think you can iMessage and FaceTime if on Wi-Fi).

  • Can I connect my Time Capsule wired to the computer and just use it as a back up

    Can I connect my Time Capsule to my computer (wired) and just use it as a back up and not as a wireless router?

    Yes, you simply bridge the TC..
    Just google for it as we have posted the instructions endlessly.
    The one trick that might be necessary is to ensure the TC is on a different IP range to the main broadband connection.
    And make sure the gateway and dns do not cause issues.. so it is generally better to set static ip on the TC and the computer.
    None of it is hard so ask for specific instructions if you get to the point.

  • Can I buy a SmartPhone without getting the data plan, and just using the wifi?

    I was looking into buying an iPhone or smartphone of some sort, but don't want the data plan. Can I get a smartphone or iPhone without the data plan and just normal service?

    AT&T GoPhone plan does not require a data plan, you can activate a smart phone on a basic gophone plan.  However, if you don't turn data off at the carrier level, you will get a per use charge for data.
    IT is not how the phone and service is expected to work, yet it can and does.  If it works on AT&TA, it will probably work on Verizon also.
    I will repeat, this is not how it is designed to work.

  • Can I cancel my phone plan and just use iphone for wifi?

    I'm trying to save money, and I really only need to user phone for online access while traveling or as a GPS. What can I do to use this phone only for wifi?

    If you want to use it (without a data plan) as a GPS, you'll need to purchase a navigation app that has built-in maps.  Navigon is one, although I can't recommend it.  Google for reviews of others.

  • Can I purchase simlock free iPhone 5 in Hong Kong and later use it in the Netherlands?

    I'll be in Hong Kong for about 1-2 weeks or so and would like to buy the new iPhone 5. Will this iPhone work in the Netherlands or Finland?
    And is the only way to purchase a simlock free iPhone 5 through the website?
    Can I reserve today (26th Nov) even though I'll be arriving in Hong Kong in 3 weeks? (They say if its available you'll get the info to pick it up the next day)
    Is there a big chance that the iPhone will be out of stock, mid/late December?
    Thankss

    Have a look here I can't determine whether Apple HK sell
    unlocked iPhones which is what you must Buy
    Generally if unlocked is available it is
    ONLY Apple that sells them either on the street or through their online store
    The warranty is NOT international so if you have any issues the
    iPhone will have to be returned to HK

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • Can I use an old iPhone 4 while my 5s is out for repair?

    Hi Community!
    My iPhone 5s has stopped working (the home button was sporadically unresponsive and is now completely unresponsive), so I've opened a ticket to have it repaired by Apple and they're going to send a box to me. However, I'm not thrilled about the idea of not having a phone at all. Is it possible for me to use my old iPhone 4 while my 5s is being repaired by Apple? Would it be complicated? I'm with Verizon Wireless in the United States.
    Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot!

    Gotcha, thanks! I'm less concerned about having my exact setup than I am about not being able to take a phone call or receive a message. A few days without Angry Birds won't kill me
    Actually, you might be able to download Angry Birds to your iPhone 4.  Your App Store downloads/purchases are tied to your Apple ID, not your iPhone.  Angry Birds only requires iOS 5+ to run.  And IIRC, it associates to GameCenter (which also uses your Apple ID), so you might even be able to pick up right where you left off.
    And you should be able to even sign into your iCloud on your iPhone 4, and if your Contacts, for example, were synced with iCloud, those should come back over.  While you can't restore a 'full backup', you can definitely get a lot of the same functionality on your 'backup' iPhone.

    Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from I Tunes?

    Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

    Hi
    I have a new powerbook and want to give my girlfriend my old G4 power book, she has a new iphone 5s, and wants to create a new itunes/apple id. When i try to de authorize the G4 and sign in with her new apple ID it says bad password, how can i release the G4 from my cluster of authorized apples and make her the owner so she can download music and more importantly sync her music with her phone, she only has 3 songs on her iphone, and loaded all her CD's into the g4 but cant sync, im no dummy and this shouldnt be hard, but its driving me crazy!!!!!!
    thx u so much for your time heeeellppppp.

    Perhaps, as we have the same music tastes, for now i should just authorize her phone to my power book just to sync music, not pics, contacts etc? I'd hate to overright her contacts etc lol????
