Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

You can't. Contact info is not stored on a SIM card in an iPhone.

Iphone not recognizing SIM card

Since I bought my Iphone about 5 months ago, a few times it would say that there is no SIM card inserted, when in fact there had been one. I would remove and reinsert the card or do a hard shut down and restart and the problem would go away. Yesterday, as I was scanning my applications a error message came on saying it did not recognize a network. Then I noticed the functions on would not work. Basically it froze. So I restarted it. Once the apple logo went off there was an icon of a USB to be connected to iTunes, with no other functions working. I then patched it to my laptop and the error message on the laptop said that there was no SIM card in the Iphone. thinking its a SIM card problem I inserted someone elses SIM in my iphone. Same problem. I inserted my SIM in another iphone. No problem. It was not a SIM card issue. Without the iphone recognizing the SIM card the phone could not even be reset.
I took the phone to the Service provider in Malaysia MAXIS. They said the iphone is defective and had to be taken in for repair. The problem is they will most probably replace the phone, However there policy with Apple they say is that I have to WAIT 6-8 WEEKS for a new set. How ridiculous is that?
The worry I have now is that all my apps that I bought, what will happen to them? All the online games that I have been leveling up for months, what happens there? I could never sync my phone with my laptop when it came to the apps. It just would not sync!
It is disappointing to think that Apple does not have a solution to customer software and program issues.

You're right - it is ridiculous however thats not a decision made by Apple, but by Maxis. If Apple were asked to rpovide immediate replacements, they would do so and Maxis would have to pay the price. Under warranty, in other countries we can go into an Apple store and get an immediate replacement.

Yes but if it needs activating first then a Sim card must be inserted just during the activation process
and can then be removed

Will Wireless WRT54G3G Work with USB Broadband card?

Hi, I bought the WRT54G3G Router... When it arrived I realized it was made to take a plug in Broadband card with the small connectors. I have a USB broadband card. Does anyone know if it will still work via another method, ie: via a lan line, or if there is an adapter for the wireless plugin that would convert it so it could be used with a USB port? Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you... Jo

i don't think it would work with the USB card... it is made only for the PCMCIA cards...

User having trouble connecting to VPN using mobile broadband card

I've got a user with a laptop running Windows 7 who is trying to use an AT&T mobile broadband card to connect to a VPN using the Cisco IPSec VPN client. The card is the Sierra Wireless Momentum 4G. The VPN connection established fine, but no traffic gets passed after that. Other users can connect to the VPN fine (not using mobile broadband, though). Wired and wireless connections from this laptop are able to get to the VPN fine. It's just over the mobile broadband service that this happens. Are there any workarounds for this issue?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, native browser, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
Good luck!

XP SP3, Broadband cards, and domain membership

In a nutshell, when using a machine with Windows XP SP3, I’m unable to browse/use the internet with Verizon broadband cards. An identically configured machine with Window Vista works fine. I’ve tried two different styles of card (760 and 190), and two correlating version of Access Manager. Access manager sees the card and can activate it, but once I try to connect, it tries to verify the connection for several minutes, before giving the message “Connected – Dormant”. If I go to the statistics tab, my TX max rate is 5 and by RX max rate is 0. When in Vista, I connect almost immediately, with full throughput.
I’ve taken both cards to several different XP machines – two different laptops and a desktop – all ending up with the same problem. Regarding hardware, the configurations vary quite a bit from machine to machine. As far as software, all have Office 2007, but little else – no antivirus or antispam installed, no firewall. Palm hotspot also does not function with the XP machines. The connection works fine, but once you try to surf the net, nothing.
Now for the kicker - if I remove an XP machine for our network domain, the card(s) (and hotspot) work beautifully on that machine. Add the computer back to the domain, they fail.
Any ideas???

I could not connect to my Droid hotspot with my XP(sp3) machine while XP was manageing the wireless connections. I found that there was "Intel Pro/Set" software on the computer for the Intel wireless card. As soon as I fired up and confiqured this Interl software, it saw the Droid hotspot and
allowed connection to same.

IPhone with GoPhone SIM card

I intend on seeing my 2 year contract through, which expires June 30. I was thinking that maybe I could buy a prepaid Go Phone, swap the SIM card with my iPhone and then only pay as I need. The truth is that I am usually near a regular phone and I don't really need to pay for cell service anymore.
Will this work?

I don't believe so.
Although it is possible to use your iPhone's activated SIM card with another AT&T carrier locked phone or with an unlocked GSM phone, it isn't possible to use a SIM card from another AT&T carrier locked phone with your iPhone without activating the SIM card with your iPhone. The SIM card used with the iPhone is "married" to the iPhone's IMEI number.

Transfer it from your iphone to your computer then sync it to the ipad.
You buy one and only one download of movies.

My iPhone 4 with cash card is slowly emptying the balance of the card. Only Wi-Fi is normally ON, most other things OFF. Are the Apps responsible for this, or is something wrong with the phone itself? How can I stop the "thief"?

I have this exact same problem. One solution is having your friends change their fake aliases on Facebook to their real bloody names, but I realise this is no easy fix.
