Depends
If you need a cellphone then No.
If he wants more than $1 then No.
I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch. It does have a sim card and it has been reset but for some reason it will not pick up my wireless network, or any other wireless network. What is the problem?

Hello jimmy ii
The only option is to contact that person to have them remove Activation Lock from the iPhone. They can do it online and do not have to come to you. Check out the article below for more information.

I just bought a second hand iPhone 5, but the sim tray seems to be for a sim sized ~14x8mm, thinner but longer than a nano SIM (~12x9mm). Can anyone explain why, and how to get a SIM to fit?

You would have to ask the person you bought the phone from to explain why.

My iPhone 4s does not have a sim card slot at all .

i recently bought a iPhone 4d from someone, but neither of us know the apple id. And on top of that My Phone DOES NOT Have a Sim card Slot on the side of the phone. So now im stuck with this phone and i dont know what to do.
It is not a stolen phone. It works perfectly but i cant get pass the activation screen

Verizon will only unlock your phone for international use.
Just to avoid any possible confusion, a Verizon-model iPhone 4 is a CDMA-only iPhone and can't be unlocked at all. The only way to use that model with another carrier is if Verizon has international CDMA carrier partners for international roaming, available only a very few countries.
Only the Verizon-model iPhone 4S or later is or can be unlocked for true international use.

I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

Hey i got a iphone 4 online and it doesnt have a sim card slot what do i do ??

hey just wondering if my iphone is fake i brought it online and it has no simcard slot what do i do? could i send it in and get it looked at ??

You need to return the phone and get a refund because you won't be able to use it without a sim card slot.
Probably not a fake, because some US iPhones, depending on what comapny they were from and what model do not come with sim card slots, as they don't need them and if you are not planning on using the phone in the US, then you won't be able to use it without a sim card slot.
The seller really should have made potential buyers aware of this, so I would return the phone for a full refund and then go and buy another iPhone form a reputable source, such as directly from an Apple store or a local phone comapny.

HT1937 iv got a second hand iphone 4s which is locked to EE been to carphone warehouse were it came from new they told me to go to EE they told me to go to apple to get it unlocked is this right as sick of being given the run a round

Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple.

Got a new MacBook pro but for some reason I can't connect to my schools wireless. It doesn't have a problem connecting to any other wifi. My schools network is unsecured all you do is login with your username and password but the window never loads

I jus got a MacBook pro and Im having trouble connecting to my schools network. It is not secured and only requires to login with school id. A Window pops up to sign in but it never loads anyone know why I'm having this problem? Doesn't have a problem connecting to any other wifi

"This is a flaw in OS X Lion. It does not want to connect to open WiFi that has a login page that open in a browser."
Nonsense, no problems logging in at sites that you mention. I use OpenDNS servers. For the OP try:
System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS. In the left side column click on the + sign and insert the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then click OK, then click Apply.

I have a iPhone 4s that doesn't have a sim card anymore, how can I facetime just by using wifi on the phone?

I need to use my iPhone for Facetime, without the phone having cellular service. How can I do so?

Is the phone activated? If so you can activate facetime and use it with wifi. If the phone is not activated you need to activate it using a SIM (the sime doe snot need to be an active sim) and hten turn on facetime in settings/facetime

Just recieved a second hand iphone 4s but its connected to its old user. its all above board but have no way of finding its original owner

i recieved it from my friend whos a door steward at the coast and sometimes when phones are lost they can take them if nobody went to get them back within a couple months. nobody has came for this one and i got it from him with the belief i can use it. if anyone can help me out with sorting this out it would be great.
p.s. i know it sounds shifty but its owner did have 2-3 months to pick it up.

Sounds like it had one of the iOS 7 betas installed. If this is the case,
there are 3 possible actions you can take:
1] If you are a developer, go to the Developers Forum for assistance
as per the NDA that goes with being a developer.
If you are not a developer, you can
2] either wait until iOS 7 is officially released and then install it, or
3] seek help elsewhere for the stolen software on that iPhone.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at Settings=>
General=>About=>Version.

"Find my iPhone" in a purchased second hand iPhone

Thanks for reading.
I just purchased a second hand iPhone and after all the setup and I was wondering if the previous
owner use the "Find my iPhone" feature, it would locate my device?
I had sell a few iPhones before and I always delete them on iTunes/My Accound/Manage Devices,
but I can't know for sure if the previous owner had done that.
There's somebody with knowledge about this issue? (if it is an issue at all).
Thanks for your time.

How did you initially set this phone up? If the previous owner didn't, you should have either first restored it as a "New" device in iTunes or on the phone itself: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. If you have not done this or the previous owner didn't, you need to do so. This will return the phone to a state just like it was when first taken out of the box. You can then name it what you want & sync whatever you like to it. All traces of the previous owner will be gone.
