Using iPhone as just a Touch??

My contract with AT&T is almost finished and I am wondering what will happen with my iPhone if I don't renew. Can I keep it and just use it as a touch? Or will AT&T want it back and/or deactivate it?
Thanks

Your phone service will continue on a month-to-month basis unless you cancel it. You don't have to renew your contract. If you do cancel, your Sim card is deactivated and you can continue using the iPhone without phone service or cellular data.

  • Using iPhone 4S as iPod touch, specifically FaceTime and upgrades

    I'm thinking of getting a noniphone and want to make sure that as long as I keep my sim I can use the iPhone as a iPod touch including FaceTime and I'll be able to upgrade to newest iOS whenever it comes out?
    Thanks!
    I've read the apple article about using iPhone as iPod touch. it doesn't answer these questions

    Yes it will work just fine.

  • Using iPhone 5 as iPod touch. Help?

    I currently have an iPhone 5 that I bought through Sprint. It's on a cellphone plan through Sprint as well. I'm really wanting to cut some financial corners and am hoping that it is possible to cancel my Sprint services but still be able to use the phone as an iPod. I suppose I just need a walk through on how to make this happen. Once I terminate my sprint service, can I just continue using the phone or are there steps in between that? Also, I know I there are apps that you can download in order to still be able to text and make calls. Could someone tell me what those are? For example, would GoogleVoice work or not?
    Thank you!

    As far as texting and making calls,   apps such as Pinger or TextFree work wifi/3G in a VoIP manor.  It gives you a real phone number that you can purchase minutes (or earn them in certain ways)   and it gives you free unlimited texting.   As far as using the iPhone as an iPod Touch, I have not found anyhting pointing to the idea that it would not work.  It would be a wifi-only iPod Touch 5, but it SHOULD still work.

  • Use iPhone 4 as iPod touch

    What do I have to do to use my iPhone 4 as an IPod touch? I currently have a 4 and am no longer going to use it as a phone but I would to keep it as a newer touch with a camera.

    You can't do anything with an iPhone until it is activated.  Activating it doesn't mean it is activating it with service, it only activates the phone to work as an iPod Touch.  The sim doesn't need to be activated either, it only has to be a valid sim and properly inserted.  Once activated, it will be an iPod Touch without phone service.

  • Can I Purchase Sim Card on Ebay to Use iPhone 4 as iPod Touch?

    I'm looking to purchase an iPhone 4 on Ebay to convert to an iPod Touch, mainly because of the highly superior camera and specs, but I know that you need a MicroSIM card to activate the phone. The phone I'm looking at is a Verizon version, so I was wondering if I could be able to just purchase a blank Verison SIM on Ebay, since they're only a few dollars? Unfortunately, none of my friends or nearby family have SIMs I can use as all of their phones don't have them, so I'm hoping I'm not in a pickle here. lol

    So should I look for an iPhone from a specific carrier? I'm really trying to make caving into getting the iPod Touch 4th Gen a last resort because I know they're techincally inferior, and I take a lot of photos and would love to have the extra horsepower.

  • Use iPhone 4s as iPod Touch, Can't Activate

    Hello all,
    I have an old Sprint 4s that I'd like to keep using as an iPod Touch and don't need cell service on. I wiped it clean when I got my new phone and haven't touched it in about a year. I turned it on and it started to take me through the activation process but I keep getting the error message "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" So I plugged it into iTunes and when I click the on the iPhone in iTunes I get a message that says "Your request couldn't be processed. We're sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later." I tried restoring the phone and got the same messages. Then I tried putting the phone in recovery mode, restoring it, and I got the same messages after it updated the ios.
    I had a chat session with Apple and after some troubleshooting to do things I had already done, they transferred me to a supervisor who basically said "you need a support sim, go search the forums." Anybody know anything about this? Is the sim card really the problem, and how do I get a support sim card?
    Thanks in advance.
    Matt

    My understanding of the Sprit SIM is that it is matched to the particular device, so using one other than the one for the phone may be the reason it is not working. I'm guessing the one that you attempted to use was a Sprint SIM.
    The iPhone 4S on Sprint wouldn't have required any SIM to activate. It would only have used a SIM for international roaming. Domestically, it would simply be working on the CDMA network. As I recall, the phones generally had to be connected to a computer with iTunes installed in order to activate them. What the OP did should have worked.

  • Use iphone 4S as ipod touch

    Hello,
    I recently bought the iphone 6 Plus.  I'd like to use my iphone 4S as an ipod touch for my son.  If I continue to use my applet ID to access the App store on the 4S will it affect my storage of anything on my 6 Plus?  I don't want to reset the 4S phone since there are many apps on there my children use.  What steps do I need to take in order to keep the 4S as is, and ensure the contents of the 4S don't get backed up to my 6 Plus. Also, if I don't have a text/phone plan for the 4S can my son still text from the 4S using WiFi?
    Thanks,
    Kristen

    The phone must have a SIM in it in order for the steps in the article to be completed. It does not have to be an active one, but the phone needs to have one present.
    A SIM is also necessary if you restore or update the phone. The process will not complete without a SIM present.

  • HT1689 What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5

    What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5,
    just purchased my new iphone 5 64gb- but does me no good if I cant back up pictures or add my music frm my computer even using icloud. How can I do the things I was able to do with the Iphone 4 now that the 5 will not be recognized at all by my Mac without shelling out thousands of dollar to buy an intel runnung computer just because the Apple software department cannot plug in backwards compatibility to new products such as the iP 5! My computer runs perfectly what am I going to do with two computers if I were to buya new one.
    any one having the same stupid issue here or am I the only one frustrated with apple making new products and making people have to purchase, upgrade, pay for icloud storage when their home computers are completely capable of doing that which is the reason they bought them in the first place.

    So just called apple for the second time about this issue.  First time the tech i got on the phone i think was clue less about the problem. She recommended i buy a cd to upgrade my system and that would fix the problem and my os would be functional with iP5 , iTunes etc...
    So i gave her my computer serial and required info so she could look up my system and make sure  it would work.  I was sold a cd convinced it would work after all apple care techs should know what they are doing right!? 
    Got the cd in the mail pop it in and nothing, error window saying need intel processor to install this cd contents ***! Yea thats what  said today  after the second call to apple.  I did get another hint of hope from the tech i got on the phone today tho.  He really seemed to know his stuff.., so now i fond out apple can replace your processor on certain model computers FOR FREE just pay the parts and you are ready togo with snow leopard and " anything apple throws at your computer" . Going to try this also and will post results soon for all you that may have some hope left... 

  • I bought a used iphone and the previous owner forgot to delete their icloud account, so I cant add mine. Is there anything I can do?

    I cant seem to get in contact with the previous owner.

    You are experiencing Activation Lock.  If the previous owner will not remove the device from their account there is nothing you can do unless the place you purchased it from will give you a refund.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to
    icloud.com/find
    . Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.
