Can a iPhone use Wi-Fi instead of paying for Internet?

So my mom wants to get an iPhone, but she doesn't want to pay for the Internet. She wants it like an iPod where you can search for Wi-Fi and get in, But yet the iPhone lets you call and etc she wants that. I currently have an iPod, and she doesn't want an iPod cause you can't call. So some info would help? :T

Yes you can use Wi-Fi in iphone AS. MUCH AS you WANT TO

Yes just sign into the same Wi-Fi as your iPod

Unfortunately I have the same problem, I'm actually answering this question on my iPhone that uses Wi-Fi. You can use Wi-Fi for Internet, but it'll only be like a newer iPod touch. Sadly, since it's a smart phone, it will not work as a phone whatsoever without Internet. A way to kind of cheat that is if you download skype premium for only $2 a month, you can call mobile lines for it, but you'd need a Wi-Fi connection to use it.

Yes, you can use iphone to surf the net without paying for the Internet. Many establishments like some hotels, Starbucks and McDonald's gives a free access to the internet while you are using their services. I use my iphone all the time to surf the net without paying for it.

However, I realized that my dad has an extra jailbroken iPhone 4 that he never really used before. Can I request a SIM card for the iPhone and not have to pay for anything at all?
  • How to get Internet without paying monthly? I don't want to have to rely on my iPhone for everything I need to do online and sometimes it's completely unreliable for things. But I don't have a lot of money at all for monthly Internet, nor do I have neighbors with Wi-Fi. I just want my laptop to have Internet for as cheap as possible. Is there a type of sattelite Internet service that's a one-time payment or a cheap way to get Internet on just my laptop without screwing with my phone's data plan?

  • IPhone keeps using data instead of home Internet? I have an iPhone 4. When I'm at home, my phone randomly starts using data (3G) instead of my home Internet connection. Because of this, I'm really close to passing my monthly data limit. Is there anyway that I can prevent my phone from going to data at home, something in the settings maybe?
