iPhone 4 as iPod touch
Hello all!
I'm looking to give my spare iPhone 4 to my mother to do FaceTime with her grandson (iMessage is a bonus but that's useful, too), but she can't currently afford a full contract for the phone portion. Obviously, the Touch 4g would work without a SIM but with I'd rather give her the free iPhone 4 unit as long as it acts the same way.
There is much conflicting info on the boards (obviously since some of it applies to older iOS versions). I'm assuming iOS 5 all the way around and I have read the "Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan" KB but still have two questions:
- I wanted to get confirmation that FaceTime and iMessage work the same way they would on a Touch if you use the iPhone this way.
- Which SIM would be best to activate it with? I have active SIMs from my phones and also old SIMs from previous iPhones (same carrier). Or does it not really make much difference?
Thanks in advance! -- FSky
