If I buy a new iPhone 4 can I use it without service like an iPod?

Help! Not iPhone savvy! Will I be able to download games/apps and have full functionality (no phone use) using WiFi? Do I just pull out of box and go? Could I buy from this wireless distributor and just use for games/apps/music?
Found this on Amazon:
Apple iPhone 4 8GB White - Verizon
The buyer will receive a Brand New Apple iPhone 4 8GB White for Verizon that has a clean ESN and a Brand New USB Cable

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, see the troubleshooting suggestions here:

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use like a ipod since i do not want to activate it yet?

Can i buy the new iphone 5c and just use it as a ipod since i do not wish to activate it yet?

The phone needs to be activated first with a sim in it. It doesn't need to be an active sim. Read this
USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
Restore your phone as new. Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone. Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages. Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields. Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

Hey JustEhlan,
Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:

I'm buying a new iphone 4s. can i move my itunes library to the phone?

I'm buying a new I Phone...can I add my I-Tunes library to my new phone and get rid of my I-touch?

Yes. You can add your iTunes library content to your iPhone as well. Then put your Touch up for sale on Craigslist or eBay.

I will buy a new iphone, how can I upload the previously purchased apps?

I hope, you can help me!

once you connect the new iPhone, iTunes should ask you if you want to restore the backup of your old one. you can also redownload your purchased app over and over free of charge: How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

I love my music, would love a iPod for this reason but the iPad air sounds really good too. Can i use the iPad air like a iPod for travel (in car).

I love music when I travel, I still have a older mp3 player that I can plug in the car stereo. I listen to various artists, a variety of music. Love to make a big play list for a long road trip.
I'm in the market for a Ipod touch or a ipad air, would I be able to do the same with the Ipod verses Ipad air.
I would use the WiFi for connection.
Compare for me the differences.
Remember i would want to use it when im out traveling on the road for music.

The wifi-only iPad is basically large iPod touch. There are some aps that are for the iPad only.
The new devices a a Lightning cable vice the older 30-pin connector.
One of these adopters/cables may work:

However. some car systems and devices are not compatible with the newer iOS devices like the iPad Air

I have an Android tablet and just got an Iphone 4s. can i use i cloud to sync the two devices.

I have an Android tablet and just been issued with a new Iphone 4s. can I use I cloud to sync. the two devices?

If you use Google for most of your data (calendar, email, contacts), you can sync both devices. My work phone is an Android phone but, because I use Gmail and Google calendar and have my Gmail set up as an Exchange account on my iOS devices, everything stays in sync.

Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

If I buy a new iPhone can I go back to IOS 6.0?

I would be happy to buy I new iPhone if I could get rid of IOS 7.
I upgraded mine, now mine is just trash. I don't want to buy someone elses, but I don't want IOS 7.
If I buy a brand new phone from Apple would it come with IOS 6 or 7?

That's right. The 4S is still in production. Unless you can find one that's been on the shelf for quite some time, it will come with iOS 7. The longer you wait, the less likely it becomes that you would be able to find one with iOS 6.

What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
- close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Thank you

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

1. Don't do it and waste your money
2. The US prices exclude Tax which is added at the till depending on state and can be upto 15% more than the quoted price. All EU retail prices are required to include local taxes and import duties by regulation.
3. On return to the EU you are liable for 22% VAT on your purchase
4. The iPhone does NOT have an international warranty.It breaks you are stuffed.
5. The US models do NOT support all European LTE frequencies .None support the Band 7 (2600mhz) frequency being deployed by many European Mobile networks.
6. Buy locally if you want all functionality warranty support and when taxes are included the prices are pretty much the same anyway.

Can I buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany and hold the warranty for in Belgium?

I want to buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany. Is there a problem when I use the iPhone in Belgium? I heard there is always a worldwide limited warranty of 1 year. Is this correct?

If I don't have problems, there is no problem. But if I have a problem with the iPhone, can I go to an official Apple store in Belgium so they can send it to any place for repair?
Apple in Belgium will handle the iPhone in exactly the same way had you purchased the iPhone in Belgium
as long as it comes from another EU country .Apple do not repair they exchange for a refurbished unit if a warranty issue or charge for an Out of Warranty exchange unit if you have damaged or caused the issue through misuse

If I buy a new iPhone 4 can I use it without service like an iPod?
