Can I use the phone like a touch?

I am on verizon wireless. Can I purchase an iPhone 4 and use it as a touch, i.e. only accessing internet via wifi, not using the phone, etc.? and still be able to install and use apps, pictures, mp3, etc.?
I love the specs on the screen of the iphone. I would much prefer this over the touch.

Well, if the unlocked iphone is $600 - then surely even if there is a 4g touch it'll be out of my price range.
Thanks for the replies, I'm going to try to get one of the "true" 3g touch tomorrow.

    You got this error because you iPhone was previously hacked with an "unauthorized modification."
    "Error 1015: This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I need to shut my zoom off on my Iphone 5, it is to large and can't use the phone.

    I have a iphone 5  from a person.  Been learning how to use it by myself.  I went to accessibilty and clicked on Zoom and was experimenting with it and got the screen to large and can't get it back to normal, now I can't use the phone because it is magnified so much.  Tried to connect to help but couldn"t see the message that Apple sent to me on my phone.  Don't have all the specs because the  party was out of state from where she lived therefore I have any more info.  Please help.

    To turn off Zoom double-tap the screen with three fingers.

  • I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c.  If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs?

    I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c.  If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs

        dianneb, great question and thanks for the help Weth. The good news is if you're on More Everything the mobile hotspot would be apart of your plan just as Weth mentioned. What you just want to keep in mind is that the usage from the tablet while connected to the hotspot would take from your current plan allowance. Hope this helps!

    Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
    1. Connect your iPhone
    2. Open iTunes
    3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode

    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing has happened after holding for 30 seconds charge the phone for 15 minutes with the wall adapter and try again.

    You would probably need to contact Verizon and see if you can use the phone there.  You may need to add some international plans to your phone prior to leaving.
    I think he was refering to charging the iPhone not a calling plan.
    Here is what I found on a Google search:
    From an Electrical Engineer. Short answer: Yes.
    Long answer: The only things that is important for using any AC adapters overseas are the following:
    * You need to have the right type of plug. If you do not it will not fit, and if you force it, it could break.
    * The adapter needs to support the right voltage for input. Some of the world uses around 110 volts. The rest uses around 220 volts. Many digital devices have power adapters that support both, which is often written as 100-240V or sometimes 110-240V. As long as it support both you are good. If it does not things get messier, and I won't get into them here.
    * It must support the correct frequency for input. Again some parts of the world use 60 Hz, the rest uses 50 Hz. Just about all AC adapters support both. If the do they will say 50-60Hz.

    Plug it into iTunes like it shows. It should tell you it has found a phone in recovery mode. You will need to restore the phone.

  • ICloud has the wrong I'd and keeps coming on my screen and won't let me change it this is an iPhone 5c and I can't use the phone

    MMy iPhone has the wrong I'd in the iCloud settting and it keeps coming on and asking for a pass word that doesn't exist and neither does the id    So what to do to get rid of it because I can't use my phone! It won't let me do anything

    If so, go to id.apple.com, manage apple id, sign in with current id, edit email back to the one showing in icloud settings. You can now sign out of icloud with your current password. Then back to id.apple.com, change your email back to the current one, verify it and sign back in to icloud.

  • With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

    With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
    Thank you.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • Can I use the "phone" on Wifi?

    I just moves and the cellular service (ATT and Sprint) is very poor.  I have ATT Uverse for Wifi.  Can I use the Wifi to make calls rather than the cellular service?  Any option other than a land line?

    You would need to use something like Skype to make calls using wifi I think
