Can I use the internet on an iPhone if the Wi-Fi antenna is broken?

My aunt has given me and iPhone 4 because my iPhone is broken. The iPhone 4 has had some water damage. The calling, texting, etc. Works but she said that the iPhone has no Wi-Fi antenna. I went to settings and tried to turn on the Wi-Fi and it didn't work. Could I have internet connection without a Wi-Fi antenna?

Mot unless the internet you get from your data plan rums off of a separate antenna

Well no. No antenna, no Wi-Fi.

You'd either have to get another iPhone or have that one fixed.

  • Where can I locate the cellular antenna on the iphone5? I dropped my phone in water and luckily everything works fine just that I can't get phone signal. When on, top left part of the screen will remain at searching. I know there's two antennas, one for Wi-Fi and one is cellular, where can I find the cellular one? I know the Wi-Fi works for sure because I still get my home Internet. Don't worry about me opening the phone I've replaced screens and battery's for years now.

  • When apple replaces a broken iphone, do you get to keep the old broken one? The back camera on my iPhone 4s broke (just stopped working), so I called Apple and I have an appointment set up to replace the old phone with a brand new one. But, I want to know if when they give me the new phone, will they let me keep the old one? The phone still works fine except for the camera. In fact, it's almost perfect. And obviously I want to sell the old one on ebay to make a boat load.
  • New iPhone 4 antenna problems? So I got a new (direct from phone company) iPhone 4 less than a month ago and I've noticed some signal issues depending on how I hold it (covering the black strip on the bottom left side). I was just wondering if every iPhone 4 has this problem or if it should be solved in the newer handsets. And also, what can I do to solve the problem without putting a case/tape on the phone? Would apple exchange it?
