Iphone wifi question

Im interested in buying an iphone but really can't afford the service right now. i was wondering if its possible to use the wi-fi capabilities and the ipod aspect of it without paying for the service like the ipod touch. Id rather do this then buy the touch because eventually i will be able to afford the service and having both the touch and the phone seems a little too much. thanks!

Sorry, you cannot do anything with the phone until it gets activated which means paying for a plan.
Quote from Apple site (when looking at plans)
Minimum new 2-year wireless service plan and activation fee required to activate iPhone features, including iPod; plans are subject to AT&T credit approval

  • Another iphone wifi question

    I set up my iphone to connect over wifi. It won't connect to youtube or the internet except for Google. I can update weather and access the router settings through the phone. It will still connect over edge. Any solutions to this problem?

    I found the answer in another post. I have a Belkin router and this is what I did and got it to work:
    Now go to the WiFi settings in your iPhone and under your network press "Static."
    In the IP address put 192.168.2.50
    The Subnet Mask should read 255.255.255.0
    The Router should read 192.168.2.1
    In the DNS put 4.2.2.2
    Thanks for replying.

  • E2500--iphone wifi question

    just bought and hooked up a linksys 2500 to Imac (10.6.8 OS) via comcast cable connection.  everything seems to work, and i can get wifi on the imac, but i can only access wifi on my iPhone if the computer is turned on.  if the computer's off, can't get  wifi on iphone.  is this the way it's supposed to work?  thanks.

    Well check the wireless settings on the router:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
              1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
              2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
             3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
     For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
     For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
             4] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • How many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    how many miters is the iphone wifi and why dosnt the wifi atchive long rang networks

    I don't understand your question at all. I think you are asking what the range is for WiFi on an iPhone. It meets the WiFi standard, which is 40 meters if there are no obstructions, much less if there is anything at all between the phone and the router. My iPhone meets the standard.

    My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
    In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
    I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
    Do you have any solution to my problem?
    It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
    Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
    Thank you so much.

  • IPhone wifi-network problem- Please Help!

    I have a problem with my iPhone4. It could only connect to the internet for a couple of minute then it dropped off. But it is still connect to the wifi though and in my Mac the wifi seem to be working fine. Any ideas?

    first start here
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/wifi/
    If that doesn't help then
    Restore as new, if wifi  works add your backup and proceed .If after backup issue returns
    Then you have a corrupt backup
    If when restored as new no wifi then you probably have hardware issue and should take it to an Apple Store genius bar

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

    Copied from the link provided.
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.
    Waiting for Apple to release the next update won't do any good.

  • You'll see the same complaints about the iPhone WiFi

    You'll see the same complaints about the iPhone WiFi as we're seeing against the iPad WiFi.

    There are tons of complaints about the WiFi interface on the iPhone, with errors and problems similar to what you're seeing on the iPad.

    As a retired network device driver writer, I realize that the same device driver is probably running on both platforms. So more than likely, you'll see the same bugs on both platforms. Unless we're dealing with a hardware issue.
    I would guess that the iPhone/iPad losing it's WiFi password issue is a software bug.

    Hey there Gordo456,
    It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Restart your iOS device.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • IPhone wifi speed set at slower speed

    My iPhone4 has a speed checker onit that I would use for a quick check as to if there was any speed problems but in the last week or so the speed has been maxing out at 6 meg . Checking or pc and laptop shows not speed change normal speed is 13-14 meg but when I checked the home hub wifi connections my iPhone shows a speed of 6meg .as if the hub has set it to that speed . Any ideas why or how I can rectify this throttling of speed to the phone . Normally the phone records a speed maybe a meg or two slower than the pc . Also strange as well is when I check speediest.net on laptop it shows me as being near Newcastle when I live in Eastbourne . This did rectify for a few day but has know chqnged back again . Don't think this has anything to do with it but just a little strange .

    Cheers keith . After looking up the iPhone has wireless n but it's 2.5ghz not 5ghz . Would changing wifi settings to wireless g solve this problem ? Would the iPhone wifi still work on wireless g. I would assum all other devisees are wireless g on home network
    The home hub only uses the 2.5gHz band as it only has one radio module.
    Changing the hub to wireless "g" only, should improve things, if you have no wireless "n" devices.
    Give it a try.
