IPhone 4 makes calls while it is OFF
I have an iPhone 4, and here is the situation:
1. I shut off 3G
2. I shut off Cellular Connection
3. I shut off Roaming.
4. I shut off Wi-Fi
I dial any number, and I can still make that phone call, and receive phone calls. Why? What connection am I picking up that is bypassing all these settings that are designed to prevent phone usage?
Happened to me, call apple as soon as possible
Put your iPhone in Airplane Mode to shut off all wireless connections (cellular voice/text, 2G cellular data, 3G/4G cellular data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS).
Putting your iPhone in Airplane Mode does not "render it totally useless." You are still able to use apps that don't connect to the Internet (many games), take pictures, record video, listen to music, watch videos, etc. Effectively, it's like having an iPod touch with Wi-Fi turned off.
Note that you can selectively enable certain wireless services (like Wi-Fi) after you put your phone in Airplane Mode.
Remember that the device is called an iPhone for a reason. It's a *phone*.It's designed to be a telephone even when alternate services are turned off. The only way to disable the telephone function is to put it in Airplane Mode or shut off the device completely.
For further information, please consult the "iPhone User Guide for iOS 5" (page 233), available at the Apple iBook Store (it's a free download).
You really need to read the manual.
- Iphone 4s picks up other calls/signals while on phone? How do i fix this? When i'm on the phone with someone, i hear other people for like five seconds. I ask the ppl i'm on the phone with if they heard it but they don't. How do i stop receiving different calls/signals
- If someone calls/texts you when your iPhone is off? Will I still get notified with a little pop-up bubble saying I have a text/a missed call? Or will it not go through because my iPhone was turned off?
- If I turn off the network on an IPhone will i still get texts or calls? Okay so I'm going to the Caribbean in a few weeks and I was wondering about my iPhone. I don't have an international data plan, so I was planning on turning off my network. It says online that you can iMessage people through Wi-Fi. But if i turn it off will i get the messages i missed after I turn it back on? And will i charged for my iMessages?
- If I turn off my cellular data off can I still make calls? I'm going out of the country and I have an iPhone 4S. If I turn off my cellular data can I still make international calls FOR FREE?
