Can iPhone's without a data plan be used for wi-fi only?

I want to buy a used iPhone just for the apps. Can I get apps from the app store with only wi-fi?

Yes absolutely, I would maybe recommend buying an iPod instead of an iPhone though, would be a cheaper option and you will be able to get the same apps that you would on the iPhone. Yes, it would be just like an ipod touch, but then I would ask why not just buy a new ipod touch? Yes. You'll need a SIM (any SIM) to activate the phone, but it doesn't have to be associated with a plan, and you can remove it afterwards.

  • When IPhone app isn't launced is my data plan still being used? I have apps like Facebook, Twitter, & Photobucket that I keep logged in so as soon as I launch the app it's where I want it. Is the data plan still in use? What about the iphone Mail app that's kept on as well?

  • Is data only used up when not connected to Wi-Fi? My parents are talking about getting me an iphone. Its says on a tariff that i would get 1gb of data. Is data used up when i'm connected to my home Wi-Fi or is it just when i'm using 3g. If it is 1gb should be fine because i don't imagine ill be doing that much searching when i'm on the go. Also is data used for apps that don't connect to the internet
  • IPhone will only send messages over data plan, even when connected to Wi-Fi? So all messages I send are automatically charged to my data plan, even though I'm connected to a strong Wi-Fi connection. I only have limited texting, so you can see my problem. The iPhone is 4th gen, not sure what iOS version.
