What features will work if I buy an unlocked iPhone 5?

I'm planning on ordering one online from Apple Canada but I'm not signing up for a monthly plan right away. Will I be able to browse the Internet using Wi-Fi or temporarily use the phone as an iPod touch?

Unlocked? Yes, everything should work

All of the functions will work except for the phone function.
That means you can use Wi-Fi.

  • Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
