Can you get an iPhone without signing with a carrier

Sad but true! I actually want a mocked up iPod touch, so I thought that I would get the iPhone 4S because of the camera and the flash as that is really my main interest in the product. As we know the iPod touch has a horrible camera and no flash. So can a person just get the iPhone and use it with WiFi only and bypass the phone calling and carrier contracts.

The more I research the more I'm finding that to be true. You know having a contract and service isn't that big of deal but it's the credit part that is a ***** for me. I will not be able to walk out of the store without placing an additional deposit and those are not cheap. Thanks for the response though. It was exactly what I needed confirmed.

  • Maybe dumb, but can you get the iphone without a calling plan?

    I am currently on a sprint employee plan because a relative works there. I only pay 20 bucks a month. Regardless of how bad I want an iphone, I can justify switching while only paying 20 bucks a month for unlimited data and 500 peak minute voice calls. I am on the instinct, which i am not a particular fan of due to how basic and elementry it is. The only nice thing about it is that I can connect to the internet on my computer wherever I am by using the phone as a modem. Oh, and i will say that the navigation features are great as well!
    On the other hand, the iphone is sick. I love the apps that it has to offer, and due to the fact that i get such a great deal on sprint, I was curious to know if the iphone can be purchased with only a data plan. I dont want the calling plan, just the data so taht i can use all of the apps. Is this possible? I was thinkin about an ipod touch, but i like the apps on the iphone that would require a 3g signal.

    It may be possible to cancel the unlimited data plan for the iPhone 3G and if so, you would also need to request that data access be disabled for your line/number or you will be charged by the KB for all data uploaded/downloaded via AT&T's data or internet network, which isn't cheap. You would also lose visual voicemail since visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via AT&T's data or internet network only.
    The iPhone is designed to always have an internet connection as long as there is an available wi-fi network that you have access to, or you have cellular reception. If you don't use the iPhone as designed and intended, you might as well get a different phone - a phone that isn't in the smart phone category and isn't designed to always have an internet connection or access.

  • Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

    Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
    Thank You!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

  • How can i get my iphone 4s unlocked to any carrier?

    How can i get my iphone 4s unlocked to any carrier?

    You must contact the carrier it is currently locked to and get them to unlock the iPhone.  Apple will not do this as it is part of the subsidized contract with the carriers.

  • How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

    How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
    I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned."  I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile.  I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number.  But the person it says is not the person I said. 
    It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

    Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7.  Then it went out the window.  I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem.  If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.

  • How can I get my iphone to synch with Outlook?  I do not want to use Icloud.

    I am a realtor and have used Outlook for years, but am unable to get my iphone to synch with Outlook.  Does anyone have a solution?  I have been to the Apple store and have had more than one person working on it, to no avail.

    Not sure what you've already tried, but sometimes you have to uninstall iTunes and all it's components as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes.  (This would be necessary if the Outlook plugin is missing or corrupt.)  You won't loose your iTunes library or media by doing this.

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

  • HT201210 I can not get the iphone to sync with itunes and the iphone locked up my ipad too. I have downloaded the recent itunes 10.6.3 and restarted my computer. What do I do?

    My iphone was not synced when I received it. I plugged it in to charge it, and it locked up my ipad. My itunes was not updated on my desktop, so I just updated it to itunes 10.6.3. I have restarted my computer, and nothing is changing. I can not get the iphone to move from the screen, its stuck on the itunes icon. Help please.

    I am downloading the 11.0.2 as we speak. I will update in a bit.

  • Can you get the iPhone 4 for $99 without a 2 year contract?

    I want to get the Iphone 4, but if I haven't been with AT&T for more than 2 years (my contract 2 years yet) can I still get it for $99?

    If I couldn't get it for $99 then what would be the alternative price for not having the 2 year contract?

  • Can I get a iPhone without a plan from Verizon

    Okay so I have a phone with Verizon already but I want this free iPhone that is posted on the apple website I was wondering if I could get the phone without another plan

    No. The iPhone 4S in the Apple Store at $0 up front is not free. It's subsidized by the cell carrier and requires a new two-year contract, part of which cost goes to pay for the phone. Unless your contract has you eligible for a phone upgrade, you would need to pay the full retail cost of the iPhone, which for an iPhone 4S is $450.00 (and is not available for Verizon).
    Regards.

  • How can you backup your iPhone without using the front button?

    My front button doesn't work again. Had this fixed a week ago and it stopped working again.
    So how do I backup the iPhone without being able to close the email account it is in now and get to the Settings without using the front button?

    Restart your iphone by using the power button. After the restart you will be able go to the settings and enable assistive touch!

  • Can you get a bill without having a line?

    Hi Everyone, first post and looking for some help as Im sick of the call centre lies!
    I have come on here as a last resort... As I have been fobbed off so many times I have lost count.
    My problem is I moved house in June 13 and despite BT promising to connect me by installing a line and promises of 8mb Internet, it fell in to the all to difficult category. So BT and me mutually agreed that the contract would be cancelled and we would owe nothing but a couple of pounds from the last bill... So no line, no telephone and no Internet at my new place. No problem.
    However, BT still persist in billing me every month for Internet and BT vision, despite countless calls and promises from Raj in India, Jewel in billing, Clare in" BT the home of sports" and the most fascinating of all the "Chat facility" which quite frankly is rubbish and manned by buffoons! I need advice in how I deal with this.
    Not only is it taking up my time but my patience is is wearing thin, because I havent  payed the bills the email's are now starting to threaten action... I mean what are they going to do cut me off!  But on a serious note I do not want this to effect my credit rating and my chances of signing back up with BT if I move again.
    So any advice on where to start so I can speak to the same person who has access to the "systems notes" who doesn't hang up and preferably speaks in a dialect I can understand and they can understand me, who doesn't promise call backs that never happen and offer to refund money I haven't paid?
    Really simple problem you would think? Stop billing me for a service I have never had, I'm not a customer, I have no BT Line and you BT are harassing me.
    Where do I go next?
    thanks
