Can i use my iphone without a simcard?

Hey there, i would like to buy an iphone 5s in the US. But i don't have a nano-sim yet.
My provider in Belgium normally cuts a regular sim to a nano-sim size.
Is this also possible in the US? And what's the cost?
If it's not possible, can i use my iphone then for taking pictures and going on wifi without sim?
Thanks in advance.
Michiel.

You can buy it and you can trim a microSIM which may or may not work. You will not be able to connect to your cell provider and use 4G LTE and for any warranty service you will need to return to the US.
You can use it as a very expensive iPod Touch but you have to activate it with a SIM first. Any updates or restores will also require a SIM.

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

  • Can i use the Iphone without Activating it just as an ipod

    Can i just use the iphone as an ipod. Put songs on it without having to activate it or canceling the plan and it still work like an ipod.

    It is what it is and before purchasing an iPhone, it is also YOUR choice to read/know the minimum computer system requirements, etc. and it is Apple's choice regarding what they include with the system requirements and other requirements for the iPhone.
    It isn't your right and choice to do whatever you want with the iPhone after your purchase since you agree to Apple's license agreement when using an iPhone.
    If you don't like the iPhone's minimum system requirements and other requirements and don't agree with the iPhone's license agreement, you can choose not to purchase an iPhone.
    Apple's goal as a corporation is no different from any other corporation whose stock is publicly traded - maximize profits and the stock's value for their stock holders. End of story. I hope Steve purchases a new yacht for every coast in the U.S. or wherever else. It is called risk taking and those who take the risks to begin with - the founders of the company and the risks taken along the way should be rewarded very handsomely for doing so and rightfully so. The ones who aren't smart enough and willing to take the same type of risks sit back and make judgements and statements about the ones that do.

  • Can I use my iPhone without buying a data plan?

    Will the iPhone work without using a data plan?
    I already have an iPad, which I prefer to use.

    We use AT&T.  There is a data plan included in their basic rate but it is about 200MB/month if I recall correctly, so it isn't very much.  For serious data plan users you need to pay for an upgrade on that component (2GB/month or unlimited).  So you get a small amount as part of the basic package but it is really designed that you pay for an upgrade if you're going to really use the iPhone with data.  Nothing is "free" but you could consider the 200MB as the free data you get with the basic package.  You may find that there are times you would want to use it as iPads are not always the most convenient things to carry around (reminds me of when we were on holiday recently in a national park and people were holding up iPads trying to take photos in 30mph winds).

  • How can i use my iphone without a sim card

    I updated my iphone 3gs and now it wont let me use it without my sim card, is there a way to un-update it or something?

    It needs a SIM card to activate. Downgrading iOS is not supported, but even if it was, you would still need a SIM to activate it. Just get a SIM, it doesn't need to have active service on it. The SIM is just required for the initial activation, and you can take it out afterwards.

  • Can I use the Iphone without a service contract?

    I want to buy an IPhone but do not want to commit to a service contract. I do still want to use it as an Itouch. Can I do this?

    Activation with AT&T is required at the store when the iPhone 3G is purchased.
    To cancel the contract will cost you a $175 early contract termination fee. AT&T's activation fee for new subscribers is $35.
    AT&T's subsidized price is $199 for the 8GB, and $299 for the 16GB plus tax.
    If you purchase the 16GB, this will cost you as follows:
    $299 plus tax
    $175 - early contract termination fee
    $35 - activation fee, plus a pro-rated charge for cellular services between activation and cancellation.
    $509 plus tax on the iPhone and the pro-rated charge for cellular service.
    I don't know how much a 16GB iPod Touch costs, but probably less than this without all the trouble.
    The iPhone is called an iPhone for a reason. If you want an iPod Touch, purchase an iPod Touch.

    my iphone 4 button doesn't work. How can i use my iphone without the working button?

    Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

  • Can i use my iphone 3 in new zealand with a nz sim card without it needing to be unlocked?

    can i use my iphone 3 in new zealand with a nz sim card in it without it needing to be unlocked?

    That depends... its is ALREADY unlocked? If so, then you should be fine.  If the phone is carrier locked, then no, obviously you can't use it with a SIM from another carrier without getting it unlocked first.

  • Can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

    Essentially no.  Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
    Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
    As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

    iTunes match will only work from a computer in terms of uploading new content. You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). For content from other sources there are some third-party programs listed half-way down this page which might help you get your content back from your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Can I buy an iPhone without a carrier and use it as an iPod with...

    Can I buy an iPhone without AT&T or any carrier and use it as an iPod with a camera and a microphone?

    Apple Australia are selling the iPhone 3G for A$719, the iPhone 3Gs 16 GB for A$879, the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB for A$1040. No contract. After allowing for tax differences, at the moment these are around $100 more expensive than USA prices (Apple tend to set and keep prices relative to the date the item was released, regardless of further changes in exchange rates). This is about A$500 more than an equivalent iPod Touch, so you are paying a premium.
    I am also contemplating buying a replacement iPhone without a phone contract, as most of the time I do not need to use the amount of call time required by a contract. I can already change my data package on a month to month basis. My use pattern is generally a couple of months with no real need for a phone, followed by slightly less than a month of intensive data use, usually in remote areas. Also my partner really, really wants to grab my existing iPhone to replace the iPod Touch she grabbed earlier. The extra iPhone facilities really do give it a decent edge over the iPod. In particular, the always present camera proved way more handy than I ever expected. So I am being encouraged to upgrade.
    Still unknown is whether I can change SIM cards on an ad hoc basis. All major Australian phone companies sell iPhones (except most have stock shortages). Some carriers are only workable in major cities (but have cheap pre paid cards). Others are really expensive, but work well in country areas. Being able to run multiple appropriate SIM cards on different carriers would be really helpful.
