Not using Iphone as phone straight away....

Hi all, this may sound like a strange question but if I was to buy a new iPhone 3G before my current contract with Orange runs out would I be able to use any of the iPhone features without signing onto O2 straight away, don't really fancy paying two bills at once but I don't want to miss out on a new iPhone incase supply cannot meet demand and everywhere runs out before i can get my mits on one.

You cannot use any of the features until the phone is activated.
Last year, phones were restocked on pretty much a daily basis during the initial frenzy so I'm sure you won't have a problem getting one when your contract runs out.

    I have a i phone and my partner have a samsung .. can i use facetime with her if she not using iphone

    No. Facetime is exclusive to iOS devices and Macs. There is no android version. You would have to use a 3rd party app/service like Skype.

  • Can select but not use iPhone 4 WiFi in iOS 4.3.4 & 4.3.5

    After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.4, I could select my WiFi-connection, but it would refuse to use it. The 3G or circle-icon showed instead of WiFi. In the settings, my home WiFi is slected, but it is not used. The 3G keeps showing instead. I tested it using YouTube and the browser and the speed is indeed 3G speed. I upgraded to 4.3.5: still the same problem.
    I went to the settings, chose to ignore my WiFi network. I then re-scanned, chose my WiFi, just to refresh everything. It still didn't work. I restarted my phone, which also didn't solve the problem. Whenever I go to the settings, it shows the selection of my WiFi with the checkmark on the left as if I am actually using it, but it doesn't.

    If you update to iOS 4.3.4 or iOS 4.3.5, you will need to power-off your WiFi-router, wait a couple of seconds and power it back on. Then, your WiFi-connection will work with the iPhone 4. If you don't do that, you will not be able to use WiFi on the iPhone 4.
    Rebooting the iPhone or re-selecting the WiFi-router (even after deleting the connection) will not get the job done. Only by powering off/on your router. Now, it works again.

  • Anyone having issues with data when using iphone 4 on straight talk?

    ok. so i have a straight talk micro sim card purchased for installing in an iphone 4. i have found ways to get the data and mms to work perfectly using a method i found on sinfuliphone.com without jailbreaking. its been working great for last couple months. now my data is not working at all but i can still do mms msgs. was wondering if anyone else had this issue and any suggestions.

    Since Straight Talk customer service was no help at all by telling me to call apple instead of trying to help me, this is what I did to fix the issue! I am not saying it will work for you but it worked for me so what do you have to lose! First of all, I have a At&t iphone!
    The first thing I did was remove the Straight Talk APN Profile that was installed or remove any one there! Because of what I read in the Straight Talk website which was:::
    For iPhone customers who activated using anAT&T compatible SIM card, there is NO need to program APN settings as this will be done automatically.
    Ok, here is what I did after that: First I removed the SIM card from the phone, then I rebooted the phone, then I reset network settings, then put the SIM card back in and BAM, I had 3G once again!
    Please keep in mind I am no expert, It was just by chance that this worked for me! And all of this with no APN Profile what so ever! Good Luck,,,,Dano

  • Can not use message when phone is horizontal

    When i want to use message and i turn the phone horizontal the screen turns off as soon as I start typing. This only happens in message. I can be using the internet and works just fine when i am typing.
    There is no issues when i leave the phone vertical and use message.
    Is there anything i can do to fix this issue?
    I have an iphone 4s

    Try this first:
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Is there any way of sharing my Macbook Pro's Wifi connection to iPhone 4 (Not Using iPhone as hotspot for laptop the other way around)

    So a nasty smash destroyed both Front & Back of my iPhone 4, and since having them replaced the Wifi signal has been really weak.
    I have seen other posts about screen replacement having to be done by going through the antenna, so something could be missing, or done incorrectly during the screen repair. Will definately be taking it back to the shop and finding out if It was put back together properly.
    In the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to share my Macbook Pro's Wifi (always full signal in my house) directly to my iPhone either using USB cable or through bluetooth. It's not been too much of a problem but it would be nice to use my iPhone in bedroom using the Macbooks good signal.
    Note: The replacement front screen on iPhone has a small gap >1mm between the screen and centre metal casing on the left side just above the Silent/Loud Switch, which can be noticed by light leaking through the gap. The metal casing also still has a small dent between the volume down buttons and silent/loud switch, again nothing drastic 1mm maximum

    Here is the start of the setup:
    Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
    Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

    She probably hacked/jailbroke it to unlock it. Ask her if she did. If she did you cannot get help here for jailbroken phones.

  • Why not use iPhone in car as active noise canceller.

    The iPhone uses noise cancellation during conversations. Why not make that available in the car through the car audio to quiet the interior at all times?

    I have one of those stereos bought from Ebay, no badge, no name, and with multitude of functions,and a mic attached to my visor. Once it is paired with Iphone, all my music and calls go through the car stereo.
    for applications that do not direct Audio through BT such as CoPilot (GPS navigation) I connect the Iphone through headset socket and into the stereo AUX input and works great (all sounds, voice,calls) go through it. One disadvantage of this method is that I can't listen to the radio. Well you cannot have it all. Or perhaps there is a Radio application where it plays in the background while I still use my GPS application.

    No.  FaceTime is used exclusively between Apple devices.  That is all it can do.

  • HT4623 can not use iphone to call ,can only receive im messages from ppl that have iphones

    FOR PAST 2 WEEKS OR SO IPHONE CAN ONLY RECEIVE OR SEND TEXT TO OTHER IPHONES..NOT ABLE TO CALL OR TEXT OTHER PPL

    Please turn off the Caps Lock. That is considered yelling on the Internet. Try user troubleshooting, power off/on, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. You can also go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, I suggest you contact the carrier and have them check the provisions of your account.
