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.

This Apple doc might help ya out -> iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service or No SIM
If those tips don't take care of it, try contacting the carrier to get another SIM.

My iphone 4 has a SIM card and lately is saying that it is not installed when it is, and it has a small light in the screen where the card goes into the slot, why is this happening?

Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first.

I am using iPhone 4s with no sim card. My WiFi turned grey and isn't working. I've tried many methods like freezing and Resetting the network settings, still not working. Now what should I do? (iOS 7.1.2)

Can I backup anything on my Iphone 5s onto my sim card or only thru Itunes?

You cannot write to a SIM card on an iPhone. Your backup options are to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud and you can set this to happen daily and automatically. The backup will only restore to another iOS device. However, you can SYNC your contacts, calendar, notes, Reminders and other data to either iCloud or to applications on your computer. If you get another iPhone you can restore the iTunes or iCloud backup to it. If you switch to a different phone or think you might your best solution is to sync to common apps on your computer such as Outlook and Address Book in Windows, or Mail, Contacts, Address Book, Calendar and Reminders on a Mac. Alternatively, you can sync everything to Google - mail, contacts, calendars, etc. Google sync is compatible with both iPhones and Android phones. And I think Windows Mobile, but that I'm not sure about.

Can I use iPhone as iPod without SIM card

Can I track where my iPhone has been

Hi, just wondering if I can track locations where my iphone has been? For example can I look back to December 25th and see the locations my phone (and subsequently I) was that day?
This is to track my own phone, not someone elses!
Thanks

No. Find My iPhone can only show you where your iPhone, or other registered device, is at the moment.

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.

Restoring iPhone 2g 8gb without SIM card

I recently changed over to the 3G iPhone and am going to sell my 2g. I took the SIM card out of it before I restored it, which may have been a mistake. Now it won't let me get to the main screen of the iPhone without activating the service through AT&T again. I don't want to do this, because my service is already activated through AT&T on my 3G. Is it fine to sell like this without a sim card? Or what do I need to do to get things back to the way they were?

Need a sim in the iPhone. It does not have to be an
active sim; but if the iPhone is locked to a wireless
provider, the sim does have to be from that wireless provider.

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).

Wil iPhone 3GS work without SIM card?

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?

Yep:

3g iPhone into iTouch without sim card

I am repurposing my wife's iPhone 3g to an iTouch for my kids. When I went to restore, it asks for a sim card. I don't have the sim card anymore. Is it possible to get past this point without one?

All iPhones (except CDMA iPhones) require a SIM card to activate. It does not have to be an active SIM, but if the phone is carrier locked, it must be from the correct carrier.

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