Do I need internet connectivity? I want to use an old iphone 4s and use my current phone for calls and such.

Yes, it works fine without an active internet connection. I use an iPod touch myself. By the way, you can enable wifi on your old phone without needing a cellphone account. Then you can use it to connect not only to the PLX, but also to any wifi router.

I don't know if what your proposing will work, I would assume it would but I have not tried it so I can't definitively say. But the kiwi reads and sends out signal through wifi and as long as your old phone can pick up wifi signal it should connect.... You may have to download an app that uses kiwi such as dash command from the App Store though....I guess a way to check your phone would be to see if it still picks up wifi from your home internet. If so I think it should work... For more info try and ask google this question maybe? Hope I helped

Yes, the iPhone 4S is a combination phone that is both CDMA and GSM. It uses a SIM card that can be replaced (generally sourced from your carrier) to use with any system. Using the USA SIM card overseas will incurr massive international charges, so you can buy an international card to use overseas. Of course, you will have a different phone number for that.

I purchased the model that is NOT connected to verizon, or any other phone company, but CAN connect to the web. So I use my home WiFi to access the web to use it. Others purchase the Verizon connected so that whereber you are, you can connect to the web. But my plan is to eventually get an iPhone, which will allow me to use whatever phone company I use for my iPhone to work as a mobile router -- that way I won;t be paying for 2 web-access fees, just the one I would anyway for a mobile phone.Hope that helps.

Yes, but I would carefully consider this phone because you aren't able to download any new apps or upgrade the software past ios 4

Pls excuse my ignorance - I know nothing about any of this but am looking to buy for my niece. So my stupid question is this: With Skype and the other items noted above, she can use this ipod as a telephone, correct? Then it must have WiFi access? But to use it as a cell phone wouldn't be good as you can't always pick up a WiFi connection. Do I have this right?On the other side of the coin, the new Iphone also has an Ipod in it, but I can't find anywhere on Apple site how much storage it has for ipod capability - how many songs can it hold (Assuming New IPhone 3g 16g)?

This will access the internet, however it will not be the same experience as a smart phone. You can check email, search Amazon, eBay and so on but it will be tedious and laborious. You'd still need a data plan or wifi, and on that I have had 2. The second had a newer operating system and I bought it instead of an iphone because I was used to it and it was simple but it was just so aggravating for internet access. If you plan to do much on the net you'd be better off getting a smartphone.

You would need to have an Unlimited data plan with Straight Talk so I imagine there isn't going to be any carrier that allows the internet access without data. I also imagine if you tried to work around it, you carrier may cut your service. Call your carrier to confirm compatibility.

Yes, but only if the iphone 4's were originally on an AT&T plan (not Verizon, Sprint, etc.) If they were not originally on AT&T then you'll need to use a prepaid SIM from the plan company they were on....or unlock the phones.

yeah. the wifi will work on mine and it's not active any longer. the only thing is I can't place calls or use 3g anymore. other than that its the same as it ever was. if the phone didn't have issues I would still be using it for internet.

Yes you can call when connected to internet. But not sure of the quality of the service as it depends on the internet bandwidth

Hi, I am not sure as I have an Android phone but if the iphone 4s has a bluetooth chip in it, it should be able to link. I would check with Starkey to be sure.

To make phone calls yes on most common (gsm) networks I had no problem with calling. But when it comes to network data (Internet browsing ect...) you need specific matching network to officially use the 3g or 4g. If not the phones useless for on the go apps, web, social media, unless you plan to use wifi only when you're at home or in a wifi zone .

No, the 4S has the old (30-pin) Apple connector. This is a Lightning connector.

Yeah I think you can access the Internet and what not as long as you have an Internet provider. You can use calculator, music, etc. just can't send/receive calls or texts.

You do not need an internet connection. Boosts the existing signal and takes my phone from 1 bar to 3-4 bars...enough to make and receive calls when I cannot without it. It must have a power source depending on what you have.

What?? Of course it does. Your iPhone 4s has Bluetooth, this device connects via Bluetooth. There is nothing more. Search the reviews for iPhone if you would like to check per-device compatibility.

My original iPhone 4 connected until I did the first os upgrade. I have not tried it with the latest upgrade.
