How do I use cellular data while talking on the phone?

If your carrier supports it, you just use it like you would if you were not on the phone. Use a headset or put it on speaker, press the home button, and do whatever you want...
If you use a CDMA carrier (Sprint, Verizon, etc.) then you can not use cellular data while on a voice call.

  • Can you use GPS app while talking on the phone at the same time?

    Hi I'm just curious because I will be getting a iPhone 4 in May and I wanted to know if it's possible to be in a phone call while also using an GPS app?
    Does the GPS app use the data connection or the GPS signal or satellites?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Bruce

    Thanks and I also did some research and found out that with GPS active, if you load your route/directions prior to making a phone call the route will be cached and navigation still works. The GPS will tell you where you are along the route.
    But if you're on the phone and then try to load a map or navigation it will not load your route until it can download the map, meaning you will need to wait until you get off the phone call to download the info.
    So if you know you will need to use navigation, turn on your GPS, load your map/route to start navigation, then make your phone call. Makes sense to me now and if anyone needs to know here is the solution right here.

  • How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

    I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
    I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

    I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
    This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

  • Can't recieve texts while talking on the phone

    Ever since I upgraded to ios7 I can't receive texts while talking on the phone.  Once I hang up call they all come through at once.  Is this a phone or a carrier issue.

    Forgive me for asking, but are you sure they are text messages instead of iMessages? iMessages has a blue bubble for the out going while text has a green bubble for out going.
    Text messages doesn't use the data part of your cellular carrier. However, iMessages does use the data. With that being said, if you are on a carrier that uses CDMA like Verizon Wireless in the US. Your phone can not receive iMessage while you are on a call, because it uses data. And CDMA phones can not use data at the same time on a phone call.

  • Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone.  Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue.  We can only hear every other word.

    Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone?  Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue.  We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to.  This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur.  Absolutely no problem with data.  The data speed is great.

  • I cannot multi task while talking on the phone. eg. connect to facebook, itune, whatassp..

    Recently I cannot multi task while talking on the phone. eg. connect to facebook, itune, whatassp. I can do multi task last time. pls help !

    If your carrier is CDMA (such as verizon in the USA) you won't be able to talk on the phone and use data/internet stuff at the same time. It's a limitation of the technology... Not sure if that helps or not. What carrier are you with?

    Great question. We always want functionality of a device. Yes, you can lock this device while on a phone call. You holding the device will not disrupt the use of the device.

  • IPhone 6. While talking on the phone, email interferes w/audio for other party. Email message pops-up on the screen and the other party cannot hear me until I click "close" & remove the message. Ideas??

    iPhone 6. While talking on the phone, email interferes w/audio for other party. Email message pops-up on the screen and the other party cannot hear me until I click "close" & remove the message. Ideas??

    Alex, thanks for the reply but it did not answer my question. I only want to turn off notifications & interruptions while I am on the phone. For this desired result, the only way the Do Not Disturb feature would help is if I manually turned it on before each phone conversation. Since my phone rings at random times, this is not possible. Basically, I just want to "opt out" of call-waiting. When I had a landline I never had call waiting. I don't want to be interrupted. But beyond that, even if I am being interrupted why are these notifications preventing the other party from hearing my voice?

  • Google Voice txting not making a notification sound while talking on the phone

    Does anyone else have the problem when you recieve a new txt message on google voice, you don't get any kind of notification sound while talking on the phone?  The only way I ever get notified is if I turn the screen back on and see the google voice widget new txt message.  I have tried different things to no avail.  On my old nonsmart phone, I had regular txting and it always notified me with a beep every few minutes until I checked the txt message.  Is there a way to do that at all with the charge and google voice?  Thanks.

    It's on 4G LTE   I am getting all of the txt messages, except I am not recieving any sound notification when I am on a call.  Do any of the verizon employees or techs have any suggestions?  Everything is all set up correctly, and it notifies me with a sound just fine as long as I am not on a call.

  • HT4623 Why can't I look something up on Internet while talking on the phone with my iPhone 5?

    Why can't I look something up on Internet while talking on the phone with my iPhone 5?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • I cannot find all my installed apps on the "use cellular data for" tab on the settings menu.

    I have a new iphone 5s and on the first day I've received it, I updated to IOS 8.0.2.
    Today, I've decided to turn my cellular data on and, in order to consume less data, I thought I would disable some of the apps. However, only a few were available/visible on the "use cellular data for" tab. However, when, with the cellular data turned on, I opened a missing app on the phone, it would start to appear on the list (where it wasn't previously). Also, when I go to the app on the settings menu, it would not have shown the option, "use cellular data" before I've opened the app and now it does. Do I need to turn on every single app before I can select my cellular data preferences? I know people with the same phone and their apps appear all, as expected.
    I don't know if this is a problem of my own carrier but I don't think so, because the people I mentioned earlier have the same carrier.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, did you try to switch off Cellular Data, restart the phone and switch it back on again?
