Buying a iPhone straight from apple without service?
Can i buy a iphone 5s from apple (full price) without getting cellular service and just use it like a iPod with Wi-Fi and possibly turn it on in the future?
Added (1). Turn it on = register it under a cellular service
Do they expect me to connect it to a cellular service if i buy straight from them?
I think so
Yes I believe you can buy it at full price and not activate it through a cell network (although they will probably nag you to at the store), but you are looking at almost $1000, which seems kind of pointless to spend if you are not going to activate it. If you don't want an iphone why not just buy an iPod touch?
- Will a Verizon iPhone 5 have LTE service if used on Straight Talk? Just a quick question for iPhone experts. I recently decided I want an iPhone 5 and have a friend who raves about his s3 on Straight Talk. I have the opportunity to buy a Verizon iPhone 5 from a friend for cheap, but i'd like to know if I will receive LTE service when using it on Straight Talk. If not, I will just go with a Straight Talk iPhone from their website.
- Is straight talk service good? With an iPhone? I've heard great stuff about straight talk but prepaid plans tend to be bad service wise. I really want to use an iPhone with them but I need to know what all I'm getting before making that investment. I live in Birmingham, AL if anyone has ST here. I heard they use AT&T towers but just need to know what all this is. Let me know what you know!
- Is straight talk overall a good service for iphone 5? I've been wanting to buy an iphone 5 in straight talk, because everything is unlimited and its affordable. But before making a mistake i wanted to make sure if it has good coverage, reception, etc. Is it unlimited on memory. All that good stuff. I heard they kick you out if you go over 2MB. Something like that. I usually don't travel much and it says it only works in your zip code area. I'm always here so that's pretty good. Just wondering about everything basically.
- Iphone - buying an iphone offline from Apple and buying a sim only? Does it not work out cheaper, to buy the handset offline, and have a sim only contact and buy a nano chip separately? if you buy it from the apple store do you have to pay vat? what is the cache?
