Can I use iPhone as iPod without SIM card

I have an old iPhone 4 that I would like to use as an iTouch.  It no longer has a SIM card and I am having trouble setting it up.  Any advice?

you need sim card to activate it. once done, you can remove it and use as iPod.

  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • I bought iphone4 in china,  and it broken when I was in USA. After I sending to your company. You send me a new phone, but this phone is locked phone. I can't use it. Because my sim card is from china

    I bought iphone4 in china, the ss number is 82044JAVA4S, and it broken when I was in USA. After I sending to your company. You send me a new phone, but this phone is locked phone. I can't use it. Because my sim card is from china, so I think you shoulu give me a unlocked one.

    I understand your frustration.
    Fortunately for you, you can make your new phone to work; but to do so, you have to call your Chineese carrier and give them the IMEI number found on the SIM card of your iPhone.
    They will then activate it and you will be able to use it.
    It's NOT a matter of locked/unloked phone; it's a matter of activating (pairing) a SIM card with a phone !
    Just call you Chineese carrier and have them register your SIM card with your new iPhone and you will be back in Business !

  • I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?

    I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?
    My wife wants to use my daughter's 4s phone instead of her CDMA iphone 4 with no SIM.  Does verizon need to do the switch since I can't just switch SIM cards and restore from backup?

    Unless the 4S was sold for Verizon, the CDMA module is disabled. Regardless, Verizon will not activate devices on their network that were not specifically sold for their network.

    How can I use in app purchase without credit card using account balance

    Hi Kaijinfromtx,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you make an In App Purchase, the iTunes Store should use any gift balance or account credit first. You may still be asked to verify the payment information on your account before completing the purchase.
    You can find more information about iTunes Store billing in these articles:

  • Can I use Iphone and Ipod at the same time?

    I use an Ipod now. If I bought an iPhone and sync it with my iTunes... will it no longer allow syncs with my regular iPod? Or can I have both my purchases on both devices?

    ok so it I can still use both, like movies (including rentals) on my video ipod, and my music on my iPhone. (storage is the reason for the two devices.)?
    Yes, but the Fifth Generation iPod cannot play rented movies; it only works with purchased ones out of those from the iTunes Store. The iPod classic, third generation iPod nano, iPhone, and iPod touch will play rented movies.

  • Can they track where my iphone is even without SIM card, and only wifi is on?

    If some one took my iphone, they took out the sim card and only use wifi or put on airplane mode ?
    Can they track where my iphone is?

    You can defeat this tracking by wrapping your phone in aluminum foil & covering the inside of your roof with aluminum foil.
    I've been doing this for years.

  • Italian Iphone 4S - Can I use it witk a USA sim card?

    I'll go in USA for holidays. I'd like to use my iphone 4S in order to surf the net, to find restaurant and hotels or to use apple maps. Moreover I'll make some phone calls to reserve it.
    Does an italian iphone 4S work with an american prepaid micro sim card? With all the phone companies? Which kind of net? 3G? 4G? Edge?
    Thanks,
    Simone

    It depends on whether your iPhone is unlocked. If it's locked to an Italian carrier, then no, you will not be able to use it with a US carrier unless you arrange international roaming with your carrier. If the iPhone is unlocked, then it should work with a US carrier who offers GSM service, though only via 3G or EDGE (your iPhone 4S doesn't support LTE).
    Regards.

  • IPhone 4 runs without SIM card after installing iOS 7/7.1.1

    After installing iOS 7 and all the latest update by using iTunes on my iPhone 4 I now have the problem that when starting the phone without a phone card I get the information that the SIM card is blocked and that you have to slide to unlock, the same information you usually receive when such a card is inside. Once unlocked the code screen appears asking for the PIN. The iPhone runs after having entered the PIN and you can open and work with all the apps which don't need an access to the internet like Calendar, Notes, Settings etc.. What has gone wrong? Can anybody help me please.

    The SIM is only actually required during activation. And if you want a connection to a cellular carrier, of course. Once activated, the SIM can be removed and the device can be used as if it were an iPod Touch. This has always been this way.
    I'm not entirely clear on what you think is wrong.

  • Iphone 3G operational without sim card

    Hi
    I'm about to upgrade my O2 xda to iphone 3G, however was wondering if at the end of the O2 contract when I upgrade to another new phone, will the iphone 3G still operate as an ipod/pda without the phone functionailty. (ie.without a functioning sim card inside).
    Thanks
    Kiran

    i haven't tried taking mine out, but I've locked it with a PIN, and all non cell network functions work, including Wi-Fi (but not localization).

    I am getting ready to upgrade to an iPhone 4.  Someone had told me that after I take my SIM card out of my 3GS that my kids could still play the games we have installed on it.  That it would continue to operate like an iPod Touch. Is this true?
