Can I get an iPhone without it being activated?

I really want the iPhone because of its shape. I'm not really going to use it as a phone and waste my money for monthly charges, I already have an app that has free calls and texts. I don't want the iPod touch because I already have that but I'm not really liking the look of it. What I'm asking is, can I get an iPhone 4 without it being activated and if so where can I do this? Thanks so much! By the way I'm going to use the iPhone as an iPod

Of course you can. You just buy it outright without any contract and just never activate it (you won't get the contract price). You can then use it just for Wi-Fi only.

  • I want to use an iPhone 5s without a being activated? I'm looking into buying an iPhone 5s 32gb Unlocked but I don't want to use it with a Carrier. Could I just purchase a SIM Card off of Amazon and use it with that? Also I really just want to use it like an iPod Touch. Also please don't say like hey don't be retarded you just buy an iPod, well all I have to say is that I want the iPhone 5s A7 Chip which is really cool so that is why. So if anyone can please help me out that would be nice.
