Using iPhone as an iTouch??

When my AT&T contract expires (June 2009) can I just use my iPhone like an iTouch? I have another cell phone so I would like to use the iPhone just as a WiFi internet surfer, etc.
Will that be possible?

Unless you cancel your contract, the standard ATT contract goes to a month to month contract. An iPhone without service can be used as a wifi device and iPod. Applying updates will disable all features of the phone until it is reactivated.

How to Use iPhone 3G as iTouch?

I upgraded to the 3GS and very happy with it. Now, not wanting to throw away the ol 3G, I would like to use my old 3G as an iTouch... Don't need the ATT phone service, just the wifi.
But the last time I sync'd the old 3G with the PC, it shut down, and it demanded I install a sim card. What do I do?

There is zero need for that. An old iPhone with valid sim card in it but unactivated (no contract) is perfectly fine to use an old iPhone as a Touch. My daughter is using my old one like this as I type. If I had the link, there is even a support document posted about this from Apple.
There is no magic to it (as long as you didn't mess with the SIM cards with your new and old phone as there was no need to).

Do you need to use an email as an apple ID? We have a family email which is currently the apple ID so I can keep track of purchases but i have 2 iPhones and 2 itouches. Can all 4 devices have different apple ID under the same email address. Also I wanted to know because for the game center we wanted to keep track of each individual not just o e account. DID I MAKE SENSE

Figured it out. Thanks.

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

How to use an unlocked iPhone as an iTouch (no Service Plan)

Hi. My plan is to buy a new, unlocked iPhone 5s (when it comes out) and first use it as an iTouch (with no service plan) then in the near future activate it as a regular iPhone.
I basically need to know what to do, once I buy the unlocked iPhone, to get it working as an itouch.
I have heard that you need a SIM card?
I also want to know what the difference is in buying the T-mobile unlocked iphone and the regular unlocked iPhone.
Thanks!

You can activate the phone with an inactive sim. The Sim does not need to have and active service account with a carrier atatched, it just needs to be in the Phone.
Once the phone is activated you can use it as an iTouch without requiring phone service.
The difference is just that the T-Mobile phone comes with a T-Mobile Sim, where as the other one is a sim free phone. That is, it has no sim, so you would need to get one to activate it.

What's changed between the the 3GS iPhone and the iTouch?

Got a 3GS iPhone to replace my iTouch, but here's what no one ever told me...
I always synced my iTouch at home ( Mac G5 ) , where my full iTunes library resides on an external drive. I used to take my iTouch to my work computer in my office ( Mac G5 ) hook the USB connector to that computer and charge my iTouch and play songs through my big loud computer stereo system. No songs or iTunes data is on my computer at work. It is a work computer. Both machines are set to manually manege everything, and automatic syncing is turned off in the prefs of both iTunes apps.
My new iPhone, however, will not let me play the songs on my work computer. It geys the songs out, and only if I sync it with my empty iTunes library will it let me get to the songs I have loaded on the iPhone, which are ALL SONGS I HAVE PURCHASED CD's of and and made mp3's.
It seems Apple is now dictating how my legitimately purchased music is being used as well.. Is this true, or am I missing something?
If this is a new DRM nonsense built into the iPhone, well fine. Then tell me where I can get a dock that charges the iPhone and has audio and video cables to hook up to my stereo/AV amp directly.
I tried an earlier dock model that worked on he iTouch, but the 3GS iPhone said it wasn't compatible for playing or charging.
Love the phone, but, come on here... Thanx -KK

Well, I can see how this could work, but It presents a problem for me. A) My iTunes library is approaching 100 gig, and b) I only want to sync up in one location. I know that the external drive can be that location, but...
Here's the thing. I also am a stubborn guy, and when I spend as much money on compter stuff as I do ( I'm surrounded by it ) I don't always want to feel that I need to invent a workaround because I don't fit into the traditional sales model.. I know this is a bit dousche-ie about this, but my big point is that Apple is now telling my how I can use my legitimately purchased music. It makes me want to go out and pirate stuff just out of spite. But instead, I'll play by the rules and that buys me the God given right to ***** about little things like spending more money for a device and getting less service back in return!
I think the dock will work OK for me, but thanks for the feedback.
SoapBox now put away...

How do I set up an used iphone to an exsisting AT&T account

Set it up as new by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings (which returns it to it's new out of the box condition), put your SIM in it and go through the activation screens. Be sure this is an AT&T phone though as AT&T phones are locked to only work on the AT&T network.

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling. This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID. I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it. I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc. I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada. I keep getting this message from the Mac.
I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems. I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss. As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work. This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
Bluetooth is turned on for both devices. Both devices are on the same WiFi network. Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
Thanks in advance,

(By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

It is an Iphone 4

If you go to settings- store - click on the ID and sign out. Then you can put in your apple id.

I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?

Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password. You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in. hope this helps.
