If I close my phone account with a particular phone service because I no longer need my personal phone, will my Iphone still work like an ipod in that it can still get to the internet through WIFI? Or general what functions will the piece of equipment still have? For example, will apps still work?
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1
yes,and if you download the talkatone app and set up a google voice account you can make free calls[exept long distance],any time you have a wifi connection.
Yes. Don't throw away the SIM card. Keep it in the phone. It's still capable of dialing 911 in an emergency and you will need it to re-activate the phone should you ever need to update or restore it.
Yes, you can use WiFi & you'll own essentially an iPod touch.
Edit:
Follow Tim's advice about keeping the sim card...you'll be glad you did.
FYI:
All cell phones, sold in the US, must be capable of dialing emergency numbers whether a sim card is present or not.
I know. I worded that poorly. The point of keeping the SIM is primarily to be able to activate it in the event of an update/restore.
Hey there
you do not net a sim card to use the iphone all you need the sim for is for activation.
I must state you do not need a sim to use your wifi
Thanks for pointing that out 😎.
if phone service is disconnected can the iphone still connect to internet through wifi?
