Does and iPhone 3GS have built-in internet?

I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 3GS, but I don't want I plan. I was planning to get the app, TextPlus, and just use it as a phone for free. However, I know that TextPlus requires an internet connection for it's uses. Does the iPhone have internet built-in, like Airplane Mode, or do I need to make it a hotspot? I hope you get my question. Just so you know, I want to use it as a phone even when I'm not in Starbucks or McDonald's or something…

Yes it had 'built-in internet'. Definitely not the same as Airplane mode. Airplane mode essentially turns all that off.

All iPhones have some form of internet connectivity option built in. Airplane Mode has nothing to do with the internet, in fact it disables the internet connectivity using it.

Problem is Wi-Fi is not available everywhere you go & since the iPhone is a smartphone it will be detected on a network and a data plan be applied. Oh & buying an unlocked iPhone wouldn't matter in this case since you want the phone to not be on any carrier.

  • Why does my voice sound different on a Blue Snowball vs an IPhone built-in microphone? My voice on the iPhone mic sounds more light and agile, but on the Blue Snowball it sounds deep and heavy. I haven't adjusted settings for the Snowball yet, but should I? Is the iPhone mic true enough to trust as my standard?
  • What iphone cases have a built in screen protector? I'm looking for a new case for my iphone 4s i want it to have a built in screen protector. I currently use the otterbox defender but its just too bulky.
  • What are some good dual layer IPhone 5s cases WITH NO BUILT IN SCREEN PROTECTOR? I have an Iphone 5s with a professionally installed Zagg Invisishield. I'm looking for a good protective dual-layer case (i.e. Rubber layer and plastic layer) but I don't want a case with a built in screen protector like Otter Box and Lifeproof cases have. I know I could just take the built in protectors off but I would like to stay away from that. Any suggestions?
  • Is there an iPhone calculator app with a built in add tax button? On my iPad i have an app called calculator HD -prettycalc that has a button where I can add tax to an any total I compute or put in via one button press (able to set the tax rate in the settings). I find this much easier than multiplying any total by my tax rate and then trying to remember the total to add it back on to.So, does anyone know of a iPhone calculator app that has this?
