Can you still use your iphone as a ipod without a service provider? - 1

My friend is getting a new phone and she's giving me her old iphone, will it still work? Will I still be able to get on the internet, with Wi-Fi available and apps, will that include a free texting app?

Yes I think so

Yes of course!

Yes, it will work with Wi-Fi.

You might want to get a new texting apps, but there are lots of them (free) in the iTunes app store, including ones that work on older iPhones.
