Does an iPod touch need a SIM card?

Hello Apple,
I would like to ask you how to find out my phone number on an iPod Touch -
Or do you put in a SIM Card into it?
Please reply,
Thankyou.

There is no SIM card or phone number associated with an iPod Touch. If you are attempting to set up FaceTime, you need to use an eMail address.

  • How do i use a 3gs as an ipod touch with no sim card

    i upgraded to iphone 5 and i have a 3gs that i want to use as an ipod touch , they removed the sim cards at at&t , how do i do it?

    You must have a SIM card in the phone to activate it. I've never known AT&T to actually remove the SIM when you upgrade, they simply deactivate the old one. Go back to AT&T and ask for an inactive SIM.

  • How do I make my old iphone work like an ipod touch without the sim card?

    I upgraded to a 3G iPhone and love it. I want to be able to use my old iPhone like an iPod touch, but when I ran a sync it wouldn't let me do anything without a sim card and now it's useless and empty. Is there a way to bypass the activation and get it to sync to allow me to use the wireless functions and standard iPod functions? Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to these forums, so if this question has been asked and answered previously please just let me know.

    There's ways to activate your phone to use it like an ipod, not available thru apple. It's really easy to do, if all you want to do is activate it without a SIM. Try googling for it.. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post a link or anything or if that's against the rules because it's not supported by apple... PM me if you want I guess and I can help or answer other questions.

  • How to turn iphone 3g into ipod touch w/ out sim card

    Hi,
    I would like to give my old iphone 3g to a daycare teacher who just broke her ipod on a field trip - so sad.
    I don't have the sim card in my phone anymore and when I plug it in to itunes I cannot access anything!  I just want to set it up as an ipod touch
    (sim card was removed by an online company that I tried to sell the phone to - when they offered $30 I had them mail it back but they wouldn't return my sim card)
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I do have a SIM card for my iphone 4, but they are different sizes.  I didn't try to insert the sim card for fear it might hurt it.  My carrier for both phones is At&t.  Thoughts?

  • How Much free space does the iPod touch need to function properly?

    I'm just curious. Lets say i filled my IPod touch(8gb) to the brim (which is 6.4 GB), would it lag to death??
    Also, how much ram do IPods have??

    If you do run out of Space, you will get an alert when syncing...

  • Does the ipod touch itself need wifi in order to use find my iphone??

    My ipod touch 4g got stolen and i have find my iphone turned on but my question is does the ipod itself need wifi to track it down??  I've tried so many times i played sound, i have a passcode lock on it, i even sent a message to my ipod... But i try to locate it, it says it's offline.it down?? if so there's no way to point to try to find it Right??

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • My iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?

    If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Good luck.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If you want to use the 3G cellular data service - you need a sim card. If you just plan on using WiFi, then it doesn't matter.
    The 3G cellular service allows you to connect the iPad to the internet in areas where WiFi is not available. You do not have to install the sim card in order to use the iPad as long as you just use WiFi. You can always purchase the service later if you don't want it right now.

  • Do you need a sim card for the iPad 3G and when I try to download something from the app store my screen has a black box appear is that normal and why is this happening?

    My app store does not let me download things , when I sghn in a black box appers , also does a iPad 1 3G need a sim card to download apps ?

    You posted in the iPod Shuffle forum; it might be best to post in the iPad forum, as I was a bit confused at first. Anyway,
    It doesn't need a SIM to download apps if you have Wi-Fi. Can you describe this box a little more, or better yet, screenshot it?
    Taking a Screenshot:
    Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.
    Get the photo on your computer and upload it here.
    If you don't want to do this, can you describe it a little more? When you say "black box," I'm guessing it's an outlined box that appears around any item that you tap on. Is this correct? If so, it sounds like VoiceOver was enabled. See:

  • HT4528 Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where is it.

    Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where

    I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
    OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
    If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
    What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
    Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
    I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
    Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
    -Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
    -A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
    I hope this helps your sister.

  • Does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?

    does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?  Am going to travel in Europe and want to know if I need to use a convertor with it or if it has the international power supply and I can get by with the appropriate plug adapter.

    They are charged via your computer's USB port. As long as you have a USB charger it will work with the Touch.
