How to use a new iPhone 5s as an iTouch. With no service plan?

I plan to buy the new unlocked iPhone 5s (when it comes out) and at first use it as an iTouch, then in the near future, activate it as a regular iPhone.

So, my question is what steps do i need to take to use the iPhone as an iTouch.
-I know i have to buy an unlocked iPhone.
-but what i don't understand is once i get the phone, do i need a sim card to get it to work?

All you gotta do is set it up and you're good. When you wanna use it as a phone just put simcard in and its a phone. Take simcard out and it's an iTouch. Simple as that.

Just buy the phone outright, you can set it up later for servcie

  • What's the difference between iTouch 4G and iPhone 4S? Except the calling feature, Siri, and the A5 chip for the 4S, I think both are the same, and both have the same features.Am I right? But the design of the iTouch is way better IMO. Please reply, I'm planning to buy the Samsung Galaxy S3, but I'm confused, so I thought if I get an iTouch, I'd also get a replica device of iPhone 4S.
  • What can I use on an Iphone with no service plan? My parents got upset and put my number on an old phone and powered it off. I now have an iphone with no service plan on it and I was wondering what I can still use on it. Can I use imessage and how. Also I know facetime works off Wi-Fi so how would I use that?
  • New iPhone won't get service but my older iPhone gets service? I just got a 6s and went to the Verizon store to get my upgrade. I used to have a 5s. My 5s is still getting service and my 6s is not. I turned off cellular data on my 5s and and made sure both data and LTE were working on my 6s but it still isn't working.
  • Is it cheaper to get a new iPhone on a plan or buy it unlocked and add a cheap plan? I can either buy the phone for $250 and pay a monthly $80 plan with data for 2 years or purchase the unlocked phone $800 and pay $30 - $50 a month - I might not get data but it wouldn't be a big deal to me, I'm just trying to find a deal thats not ridiculously expensive cause I can't really afford too too much right now. Which would be better?
