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 a sim card as a ipod

    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 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.

  • 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 the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    All,
    I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
    It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
    I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have  an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
    I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
    On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
    I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
    What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
    Direct from Apple:
    1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
    Direct from Straight Talk:
    2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
    Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
    All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.
    V/R
    Rick from Hawaii

  • Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    Can i use the iphone in Hong Kong?

    You can't use it in Hong Kong with a local carrier if your phone is carrier locked to your current carrier.  No info in your post to detemine whether that's the case.  You can use if you want to pay high roaming charges.

  • When I set up email for the first time, I had to enter a 4 digit pin. Since then, every time I switch my phone on, I have to enter this pin.   How do I remove or bypass the pin so that I can switch on the Iphone without having to first enter a pin?

    When I set up email for the first time, I had to enter a 4 digit pin. Since then, every time I switch my phone on, I have to enter this pin.   How do I remove or bypass the pin so that I can switch on the Iphone without having to first enter a pin?

    Go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock>tap Turn Passcode Lock Off, enter your "pin".
    Edit:  Are you saying you are getting a prompt for your email pin, or are you talking about the passcode lock that appears when you turn the phone on?

  • How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G

    How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G. Do I need to download any additional app than the one that already came with it?

    The Maps app included in iOS, at least as of the current version, requires an Internet connection, so you'll need to get an app that allows you to download maps to be kept on the iPad. MotionX GPS Drive is one such app, but there are others available.
    Regards.

  • Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

    Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

    Andy, I'd like to know where you got that information, [citation/source needed]
    Whenver you see the plug symbol on the iPhone, it means its running on external power.
    Some datacenters use this method/always-on UPS, (AC power charges the battery bank, datacenter is connected to the other end of the battery) If there is any interruption in mainline power, the system stays up while the generator warms up.
    Do they have any battery degradation issues? Nope.
    Apple designed the iPhone to handle multiple methods of charging and discharging events.
    Remember, when new on the forums, whenever/wherever you post, people are trusting the information you provide, if its inaccurate, out-of-date, etc, you might want to do some research and learning about new technology.

  • Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
    While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

  • Can i use the iphone 5s with Straight Talk?

    Can i use the iphone 5s with Straight Talk (Walmart's plan)?  Straight Talk uses GSM technology....
    Thanks!

    The StraightTalk iPhones are CDMA phones. Not GSM. StraightTalk does not support the use of unlocked iPhones on their pre-paid GSM service.
