IPhone with out phone service

Do you have to have phone service in order to use the iPhones other application such as the navigation tool, internet and so on?

You will not be able to use the internet without service. I don't believe AT&T will sell you Data only for the iPhone so figure you're going to have to pay $39 for voice and another $35+ for data. ItIf you have an iPod Touch, you will be able to connect to a non-secured wireless router and surf the web. Sorry I don't know if the iPhone has a true GPS receiver or whether it triangulates based on cell phone towers. Good luck.
One other thing you might want to know the answer to. If you connect your iPhone to a laptop, the laptop will not gain internet access based on the iPhone unless you pay approximately $30 extra per month for "tethering".

  • Can an iphone4 be used on a wifi connection like an iPod touch with out phone service? Apps etc?

    If I have an iphone 4 and want to use it w out a cellular phone service is that possible with a wifi connection to use apps and the App Store like an iPod touch is used w a wifi service?

    Yes it can be used as an iPod without cellular service but using WiFi when needed.  I recommend, however, that you keep your Sim card even after it is no longer active either on the iPhone or stored somewhere, as you would need it to be there if you need to re-activate the iPhone after a restore, should you ever need to do one.

  • HT3406 How do I switch my iPod apps to an iPhone (with no phone service)

    I used an iPod2 for years. Got message that some apps are no longer supported so I upgraded to an iPod4. Nice but no GPS. I have been informed iPhone3GS has GPS so I purchased one this morning. When I connect to iTunes, it won't switch my iTunes account to the iPhone.
    How do I do this?

    The phone is a LG Revere (Basic Phone).  Not sure if there is some SIM card issue that needs to be addressed.  The iPhone 5s was reset so I don't know how to make the iPhone take the old LG phone number?  Will the iPhone think it is for my daughters number if I try to start it up again?

  • HT3529 iMessage appearing in 2 different iPhones with distinct phone numbers but using same apple ID

    I and my friend both use same apple ID. When someone sends me an iMessage to my iPhone, it goes to his iPhone with separate phone number also. When I send someone an iMessage from my iPhone, the message will appear as sent from his iPhone also. But the receiving person will get only one iMessage (from my number).
    Both of us have ios 6 and separate phone numbers but same apple ID.
    How is this possible?
    When I checked setting on iMessage on my phone, send and receive shows my phone number and email address only.
    Has my iPhone been hacked by him?
    Please help

    iMessage is linked to a phone number AND an email (Apple ID) address.
    Sorry for bugging cheonweb but I just want to be clarified:
    1) If the phone numbers are different but the Apple ID is same, he would still get iMessages sent from/to my Phone number?
    2) Why is it not vice versa? Why do I not get messages sent from/to his iPhone?
    Thanks in advance

  • HT201441 can i find my iphone with the phone number or serial number

    can i find my iphone with the phone number or serial number

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • Can you load apps that you bought onto a new Iphone with out hooking the phone up to a computer/itunes

    Help!!! I lost my Iphone and thinking of going and getting a new one but at the time Itunes is not working on my computer So I can not hook the new phone up to the computer. What I am wanting to know is if their is a way for me to get the apps I bought on the old phone onto the new one with out a computer?  PLEASE HELP!!!!

    It will ask you if you want to set it up as a new iPhone or backup from an old iPhone. If you backup from the old iPhone you **might** loose the apps/data that you have downloaded from the point on that you got the new iPhone. You can always redownload the apps from the store.

  • 3gs no service after updating to ios 5 tried network reset, reset all settings and even restoring from back been with out phone for 3 weeks now need help telus cant find network problem and apple has bad customer support please help!!!

    my 3gs has no service after updating from ios 5 tried resetting network settings, resetting all settings and restoring from back up on itunes.
    telus cant find any network problems and apple is difficult to deal with.please help 3 weeks with no phone and $70 a month not happy.

    I have been having a similar problem for the last few days.Without warning the signal will just completely duck out leaving the device searching for several minutes before settling on a no signal message.
    Sometimes restarting the device, toggling data and 3g settings or toggling Airplane Mode will set things right. However, a lot of the time I've been left without a working phone.
    I don't believe this is a SIM issue, as I had to change my SIM only one month ago for another signal related problem. Again any help would be appreciated here as well.

  • Living in europe,iPhone 5,what phone service to use?

    My daughter just got stationed in Germany for the Army. How does she go about getting phone service. Everything I'm reading discusses travelling.
    where you pay for US service and then get add-on's for use in europe which appears to be very expensive. I understand she will have to upgrade to iphone 5 to get quad GSM , but what carrier should she use? Remember she could be redeployed at any moment so any time contracts would be dubious.
    help
    curious John

    To start with if your Daughter is on a posting  she is best getting use of a local German carrier
    sim
    using a USA carrier on roaming in Germany will be prohibative over time
    However she needs an iPhone that will work in US on return
    Best solution I can see is an unlocked iPhone (only from Apple in US )
    (She could buy in Germany but that iPhone 5 will not work on LTE (4G in US) )
    GSM which will use a local German carrier sim
    She will need to check options for sim only deals .In UK we have either PAYG or month to month contracts
    germany is very similar in many aspects so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have similar
    There will be many with a similar issue so she should talk to others in Base  and also the PX
