Will an iPhone still have a phone number even if it has no sim card? - 1
No, the number follows the SIM, not the phone. At least on a GSM phone.
CDMA carrier phones may not work that way, they didn't used to, the number was tied to the phone itself and the SIM was only for 4G data access. That may have changed, I haven't looked into it in a couple years.
No…
The SIM card is what gives it (or any phone) its phone number.
- Why can I still send texts to other iPhones even though my iPhone has NO sim card? My iPhone stopped recieving calls properly so I've had to put my sim card into a different phone. Why when my mate text me from his iPhone did I receive it still on my iPhone and not the phone with the sim card in. And I was able to text him back from the iPhone but when he called me the little Nokia that I'm using rang… I'll be honest, I really don't understand how iOs stuff works…
- When traveling, can I buy a SIM card to my iphone even though I'm still on a contract? I'm traveling soon. I have verizon and their roaming service is very expensive. I was wondering if once I get to my destination country, can I buy a SIM card so that I can be able to obtain phone service while on my trip? If not, My iphone is still under contract, if I get my phone unlocked, then buy a SIM card, would that also be a problem?
