Iphone4 without a service plan

I have bought an Iphone4 in Orlando, but without a voice/data service plan.
When I turn on it, there is a message to insert a SIM card to activate it.
How can I buy this SIM card? Is it prepaid?
Thanks,
Janete

You cannot use any of the features until it is activated with AT&T.
You will have to go to AT&T and get a SIM and see what options they offer for voice and data.

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.

Using an iPhone4 with no Service plan...does the GPS still work?

If you take an iPhone 4 that does not have a Cell plan at all, and use it like an iPod Touch, will the GPS still work? Obviously, the assisted GPS portion will not work, but we're looking to use certain apps that measure distance via GPS (specifically, running apps like Zombies Run). These apps will run on an iPod Touch, but the absense of a GPS chip means that certain features are disabled or not quite as accurate. We have no intention of ever purchasing a cell plan for the phone, we're just looking to get an iPod Touch with GPS built in to it.

HT3406 Use iPhone 3G without a service plan. iPhone 4 sim doesn't fit. Original sims in phone won't work

I want to use my old 3GS as an iPod touch.
I just upgraded my old 3GS to iOS 6.?(current). I did a full restore. Now it is stuck in the activation process. I took it to the AT&T store to have them try. They put in a new sim but that didn't work. Apple support says to use the sim from my new phone. The iPhone 4 (my current phone) uses a different type of sim and it's not compatible in size. I have no way to make the phone work. I don't need AT&T service I just need to phone to work as an iPod touch.
Thanks

The old sim is still in there. I went to the AT&T store and they tried putting a new sim in there. That did not work. I purchased an adaptor and tried fitting the mini sim from my iPhone 4s into the the old 3GS It fit physically but did not activate the phone.
on a side note... the same adaptor worked to activate an old 3G. but that runs iOS 4.? which does not block the phone from working before activation.
The AT&T store gave me a new SIM also and that did not work. I am sitting at an Apple store with a genius bar guy. he has no idea how to make this work either... his suggestion was to put in an active SIM... oh wait, they are different sizes... ARG!! seems the issue is with iOS6 and the 3GS and activation.
anyone have an active SIM i can use... I'll give it right back I promise.

Remote wipe with out a service plan???????

This is a 2 part question. I turn off my phone service a month ago. I lost the phone yesterday, and sent a remote wipe. Will the wipe work without a service plan? Will my palm profile be erased due to inactivity? I'm not planning to get another phone until the new palm come out next year.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Without service the device would not be able to receive the remote wipe command.
Your profile will not be removed, you can sign back into it at any time.

I had a replacement iphone 4 sent from apple through the service plan and now need to change carriers, orange dont now have my imei registered on their database and cant process the unlock can i unlock another way without jailbreak?

Hi philhardinges,
You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
Hope this information can help you.
Best regards

Auto creation of service orders from service plans using action management

Hi,
We are using service plan products in service contracts where in serviceorders are created according to the plans for the duration of the contracts according to the defined frequency.
The processing for the action is set as "Immediate processing" so that the order is created the moment the deadline is reached. The order is created using the method "CREATE_ORDER_SRVPLAN".
The contract is created and released and with all the line items (including the service plan line items). The schedule condition is such that => all the orders due in a particular month are created on the first of that month. e.g. plan orders for 15.01.2009, 30.01.2009, etc (i.e.,all the orders due in Jan 2008) will be created on the 01st of Jan 2008.
As per this definition, the relevant actions get scheduled, BUT DO NOT GET EXECUTED. The moment I just go to the edit mode in the document and save (without making any changes) the action gets executed and the service order gets created.
The requirement is that the moment the deadline is reached the action should get executed and there should be no need to edit the contract since the processing is kept as immediate.
Please advice further.
Warm regards,
DP

Hi Cenk/Pepe,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I did schedule the report and it gets executed as per the schedule. But it does not execute the actions. As a output it just logs "3 actions selected". What I want is that it should actually go ahead and execute these actions and not just select them.
Kindly advice on the same.
Regards,
DP

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

If I buy a used iPhone 4 without a data plan will the GPS work?

I live in Canada and am a complete newbie when it comes to cell phones and data plans. I am not interested in having or paying for cellular telephone capability.
I've been using the 64 Gb iPod Touch 4 but detest its 0.7 Mb still camera and bemoan its lack of GPS.
Now that the iPhone 4S has been released, there are many folks selling their older iPhone 4s. I'd love to use one of these older iPhone units with their better camera and GPS capability, but don't want to pay for a data plan, nor am I willing to pay $850 for an unlocked iPhone 4S. I'm happy to continue using wireless internet and don't need a cell phone.
Being a newbie when it comes to data plans and cell phones, if I purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone:
1. Does it need a SIM card (activated or not) to use the GPS on it? If yes, must a deactivated SIM card be provided by the seller or where can I obtain one?
2. Does the iPhone 4 need to be on a cellular plan to use the GPS?
3. I can use a deactivated iPhone 4 on WiFi only as I've been doing with the iPod Touch 4, correct?
4. If I can use a deactivated, non-contract iPhone 4 on WiFi only, will the GPS work and allow me to use GPS-enabled apps? If yes, does it somehow still "tie"into available local cell networks to achieve a position without me paying for (or being registered for) cellular access?
5. Can future iOS upgrades (say to iOS5) still be performed on a deactivated iPhone 4 without a cell plan?
6. Do I need to purchase the iPhone 4 from a Canadian seller given my above questions? What other questions do I need to ask of the seller when looking for a used iPhone 4?
Thanks in advance for any help with my newbie questions!

Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
Thanks again.

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.

Service Plan Simulation in CRM 5.0 SR1

Hello,
When simulating a contract-based service plan, I am getting the error "CRM_LEASING_COPY103". This is strange as I am not working in LAM. The error text:
"..You want to determine a pricing process for sales organization and distribution channel . However, no pricing process has been defined for this combination in Customizing...".
I searched for OSS notes but without luck. I can't make heads or tails of this, as the scenario I'm working in is purely a service scenario (service contract w/service plan generating planned service orders).
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Allon Riczker

Hi,
Thanks for the response
I am not talking about Service Order. I have requirement to create a Service Complaint. For that the transaction is CRMD_BUS2000120. Now I need to find the function modules/RFC available for this requirement.
Hope it clarifies .
Even I have found function module called -CRM_COMPLAINT_API_CREATE but not sure right one
Thanks,
Moorthy

Upgrading a dumbphone to a smartphone without a data plan

When you upgrade a dumbphone to a smartphone, you have to add a data plan to that line. You also have to sign up to continue on a new, 2 year contract for that line.
Am I correct in believing that the contract only applies to maintaining phone service, and not the data plan? In other words, can I use the upgrade on the dumbphone line to get a subsidized smartphone, sign up for the 2 year contract extension, pay 1 month of data, and then go back to the dumbphone, dropping the data plan on that line?

kaybracon wrote:
"you can put the dumbphone back on the line and remove the data
but you cant have a smartphone without a data plan"
But I could then move that smartphone to another line on the same plan, a line which has unlimited data, but for which Verizon will no longer allow subsidized phone purchases without losing the unlimited data...
correct

Dates getting wiped from Service Plan line item

Hi All,
We are currently facing an issue in the dates management on the service contracts. When we create a service contract and without saving if we change start date at the header we come across the following issues
1) Date rule gets wipes out from the service contract items.
2) All the dates maintained at the service plan line item are empty.
Contract header and Contract item has the same custom date profile .
For the service plan line item its a standard date profile SRVPLAN.
It will be helpful in getting some pointers towards the issue or if someone has faced similar problem before.
Regards
Sohit

Hello Moises,
Can you give some details on how you managed to get this solved?

Gtalk needs a wireless data plan to work as does FB. BB app world has dictionaries to download, trouble is you need the wireless data plan for that too.
