Can you use an iphone without paying a monthly bill?

Thinking about trading a friend an ipod touch 4g for his iphone but want to know if i can still use it without having to pay verizon, sprint, or at&t each month

You can use an iPhone without a cellphone plan, but that just basically makes it an iPod. It still connects to Wi-Fi and everything.

It probably is a better trade for you though, because an iPhone is much faster and apps crash less than an iPod. (An iPhone 4 has 400 mb of RAM, an iPod 4 has only 100).

Yes, you can use it just like an ipod touch with no phone calling.

Sure, you can buy a second-hand iPhone and just choose not to sign a contract with a cellphone provider. You can still use it on Wi-Fi, you just won't be able to use it as a phone.

You can use the phone as an iPod but you can't make phone calls without paying a carrier.

  • What will my iphone look like when i stop paying the bill on it? Please read question carefully. So I got a new phone and it's an Android and all my music is on my iPhone. So I was wondering what the top will look like after I stop paying the bill? Will it say no survive? Or will it not say anything? I have Sprint.
  • 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?
  • Is the Iphone 5s worth paying monthly? I'm a College student, and I'm currently on a contract with T-Mobile with a BlackBerry 9720 (£17 a month). My parent's give me £100 a month to spend on clothe's, toiletries and so on, but I hardly spend any of it. When my contract finishes, should I get a Iphone 5s on contract for £32 a month? Is it worth it? I feel I need it for my school work, and social networking.
  • If you stop paying the iPhone bill. Will they take away the phone? Okay, so I got an iPhone for my birthday from my grandma. She has been paying the bill for me, but now since I'm getting my hair dyed all black. She threatened me to stop paying for the bill. I really don't mind, but I want to keep the phone for text apps and social media. It may seem like a stupid question, but I never heard anything about it. Anyway thank you if you have helped me in any way.
