Can you still use an old 3G on ATT and wifi questions

I am going to be selling my old 3G iphone soon, I have erased it removed my sim etc but I wondered can the new buyer use this with att service or since Itunes seems to have abandoned the 3G from IOS updates is it even possible?  I figured someone with kids might want it to add a extra line for Christmas or for little ones to use at home off the wifi network for more basic apps (I know some of the newer apps won't work) but many still did....
Also now that I have erased all data and content and removed my sim before selling - the screen shows connect to itunes, if the person connects to itunes is this phone going to work for the basic wifi stuff or will they need a sim card to even be able to use it as a touch so to speak (wifi only enabled), just wasn't sure if they NEED a sim for that, also now that it is wiped and my sim is out and they start a new setup on it for say wifi does this phone retain the my number is stuff so that if they downloaded some app i use like pinger that they would get my messages too or be able to send as me?
I just didn't want to mislead anyone about the facts if it could be used to add a 3rd or 4th line for a teen by taking it into att or if it being non supported for ios updates if att wouldn't even allow it, or if it was sold as a wifi only kinda device if they would still somehow see or have my number connected to anything like pinger or something (i can't see or do anything with the phone right now just says connect to itunes), altho i do know you can't download some apps being only a 3G - it does do many apps so figure it might have value to someone who wants it for their younger child at home on wifi.

A 3G that was originally with AT&T will still work with AT&T if you put a valid AT&T SIM in it. However, many apps now require iOS 5, so the selection of apps will be limited.

  • Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

    If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

    Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
    The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • Can you still use Home Sharing?

         Can you still use Home Sharing?    I have a Mac Mini (10.6.3) a Ipad (3rd Gen.) and a 3rd Gen. Apple TV.  All on the same home network and router. All three have Home Sharing turned on. All with the same account and all with the same password but they don't see each other. Since we're talking about three devices that don't see each other, I figure it must be something in the way I have it setup or Apple did away with the function.
         Can anyone point me in the right direction or shed some light on this problem.
         Thanks

    Well I can tell you that Apple did not do away with it because I am still using home sharing. Maybe you should go through this support article.

  • Can you still use 4g if you buy ipad 4 at Korea and micro simcard at netherlands?

    As it says,
    If you buy an ipad 4 (with retina display) in Korea,
    can you still use with Netherland's micro-simcard?

    You can use it in the Netherlands, but only on a GSM network. LTE is not supported in the Netherlands at this time.

  • Coming back to sky. Can I still use my old box?

    I cancelled my sky tv around a year ago but I have got it back over the weekend. The man on the phone said because it's been over a year I am treated as a new customer and will have to have an engineer out to fit a new dish and box. But I still use my old box as a free view box, can I just put my new sky card in my old box? Will it work? Seems abit of a waste of time if I get an engineer out just for him to insert the card in.

    The football season starts in less than a week and I was worried that if the engineer hadn't been by then I'd miss out, but I've just had a text message that someone will be coming out on Friday. So everything will be fine.
    I originally phoned up to cancel my broadband as it had ran out and doubled in price. 45 minutes later I had my broadband and telly for half price all in hd. Pretty successful phone call.
    Thanks for the link. Mush appreciated.

  • Can you still use these Apps?

    I have an update for an app that is already on my iPAD. The app's update is for iOS 7. Can I still use such an app on my iPAD just the way it is (in its current version) or do I have to update my iPAD's software  to continue using the app. I mean, as long as the app is already on my iPAD, it shoild still work OK, right?

    The copy of it will continue to work, but if it interfaces with the developer's website, that part of it may eventually stop working if it's not updated.

  • Can you still use soft motion without the scan engine on crio?

    Where are the trajectory generator property and invoke nodes in softmotion for LV 2011? 
    These functions are not longer found in the pallet?  Are they no longer supported? 
    All the new soft motion examples are using the scan engine.   Can I use soft motion without the scan engine????

    Hi Ian,
    I apologize that this wasn't stated in the release notes. While your code should have upgraded without breaking, the release documentation should have mentioned that the advanced trajectory genertor functionality is no longer supported. If you still want to use the trajectory generator functions, they are still shipped with SoftMotion, they are just not on the palette. I have attached a zip file that has 4 .mnu files that will get them on the palette. To install these, do the following:
    Close LabVIEW
    Make a copy of the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\menus\Categories\VisionMotion\_nism. In case something goes wrong, we will want to have a copy of this directory so that we can replace it.
    Copy the 4 .mnu files from the attachement into the above _nism directory (the original, not the copy). If it asks you to replace any of the exisiting files, please do. You don't have to copy the readonly.txt file.
    Start LabVIEW. You should know have the trajectory generator functions in your SoftMotion Advanced palette.
    Keep in mind that we no longer support these functions. This means that they are not tested in new releases and any bugs will likely not get fixed.
    I would recommend that you use the new API for any new designs. You can still get most of the functionality of the old API but without the complexity. If you want to generate setpoints at 5ms then you will run the scan engine at 5ms. This is certainly easier than having to do the timing yourself, but it does take away some control from the user. If you give me a brief overview of what you mean by synchronization, I will let you know the best way to do it with the new API.
    Thanks,

  • If you format on a Mac can you still use on a PC?

    I know it used to be if you formated you iPod to a pc you could use it on both pc and Mac. But if you formated to a Mac you cant ever use it on a PC. Is that still true?

    Kevin Torres,
    In reviewing this documentation it appears that your statement can work in theory, but is only supported with iPod shuffles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335

  • Can I still use my "old" Mac after restoring Time Machine backup to a new Mac?

    Hi guys.
    Will I still be able to use my old Macbook Pro 2008 (Leopard) after restoring his latest Time Machine backup on a new Macbook Pro 2012 (Lion)?
    Using Setup Assistant and transfering data using Time Machine creats the same Account on the new machine that was on the old one. I just don't know how the old machine will react towards his clone. I don't want to make a mess...
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

    It should work if the drive is connected directly to your Mac. That is not the same as saying that it will work.
    Since Mountain Lion was just released, it might make sense to hold on a few weeks and watch the forums for new and unforeseen issues before you dive in.
