Will iphone with no service work with tom tom?

My brother is wondering if he can buy a gps app like tom tom or navigon and use it on his iphone that no longer has service (he cancelled at&t due to the poor service where he lives)
I understand that these programs use the gps signal but don't use the cellular network. Would this work?
Thanks!

If he has a 3G or 3GS, yes. Cellular reception/internet access is not required to use a turn by turn GPS navigation app such as TomTom or Navigon since the maps data with the apps is stored locally on the iPhone, and the GPS receiver can work independently.
In order to install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card needs to be inserted in the iPhone when doing so - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when the iPhone was activated.

    Will iPhone 5S (T-Mobile contract-free) work in Saudi? With any other carrier? And any sim card from any other countries (other than US)

    The phone will "work" with any standard GSM carrier.
    However, LTE and iPhone features like FaceTime, iMessage, Visual Voicemail may not work unless you use a carrier that officially supports iPhones.

  • Will iphone 4 hotspot still work with IOS 8?

    I would like to know if my iphone 4 (IOS 7) will still work as a hot spot if I update my ipad Air to IOS 8.  And will they still communicate being on different IOS? 
    I'm not able to upgrade my iphone until January of next year.  Just wondering if I need to hold off on upgrading the IOS on my ipad.

    I tried it too. I can turn on my hotspot and other hardwares can also find it, but when I try to connect, it doesn't work. I tried to connect to the hotspot another iPhone 4, a MacBook and a Windows PC, but the hotspot doesn't work with no one of these. I don't know what to do...

  • Will iphone 6 4g lte work on staight talk with vorizon

    does straight talk with verizon sim allow 4g lte on the iphone 6?

    The iPhone 6 CDMA versions all come with GSM radios and capabilities...HOWEVER, not all CDMA models can utilize both radios.  The Verizon model comes with the GSM radio unlocked as a result of an FCC condition imposed on Verizon when they applied for expanded frequency allocation a couple years ago.  The version sold by Apple as a no-contract T-Mobile iPhone 6 is supposed to be unlocked, but not the version sold by T-Mobile themselves.
    So the answer is yes and no...depends on which provider's CDMA iPhone 6 you buy whether or not the GSM side will be unlocked or not.

  • Will iPhone 1.0 still work as an iPod touch if AT&T service is stopped?

    If I purchase an iPhone 2.0 and my existing iPhone 1.0 AT&T service is transferred/upgraded to iPhone 2.0, will my iPhone 1.0 then function as an iPod touch? Or will it be a brick?

    iPhone 2.0 is a software update that includes many new features and can be installed in your current iPhone. If you do get the new iPhone (called the iPhone 3g) your old one would still work just fine. One of the major differences between the old and new iPhones is GPS (Global Positioning System). The original iPhones won't have true GPS like the iPhone 3g, even with the software update.

  • Will iphone 6 t-mobile work in Indonesia?

    My friend is planning to buy me a iphone 6 t-mobile version in US. I am living in Indonesia so i wonder if it will work and compatible with Indonesian network

    As the Apple Approved carriers do not offer LTE/4G then that side is unknown
    There is no obvious reason why it will not work on 3G
    As the warranty is carried out by the Carriers in Indonesia I would not expect you to get any supprt ,the iPhone 6 would need to be returned to the US for service

  • Will iPhone's warranty still work overseas?

    Hi, I would like to ask that if I brought an contract-free iPhone in Hong Kong and I decided to use it in Canada with a SIM card, will the iPhone's warranty still applicable in the case that I didn't brought the Apple Care extended warranty?

    Not typically.  The iphone warranty is generally only good in the country of original purchase.

  • Will Iphone 4 work with usb 1.1

    I have a 3g now and it said it required usb 2.0 but it works fine with 1.1 just a little slow. Will iphone 4 work with my usb 1.1, everything else updated ie itunes?

    No,
    You need USB 2.0 ports. Per Apples website:
    Windows system requirements
    * PC with USB 2.0 port
    * Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access

    The iPhone 4 may not work with a cut down SIM. Get a microSIM from your carrier when you set up service.

  • I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Anyone have a solution?

    I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

    I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
    However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...
