Can the apps on an iphone work after it has been deactivated?

Answer 1

Yes you can. When a phone is deactivated, all that changes is you cannot use the phone to make phone calls or send texts from it unless you put an app that uses a Wi-Fi signal to do those two functions. All apps for all phone operating systems that work in a Wi-Fi environment will still work just fine.

Answer 2

Yes. The iPhone can operate like an iTouch without a SIM card or deactivated card installed. Just know whenever you turn the iPhone on it will either say "Waiting for Activation" or "No SIM Card Inserted". You can simply press your home key to bypass.

You also need to remember that by law, even a deactivated phone must be able to dial 911 and connect to emergency services. As long as the phone has power and there is a tower within its range. (Probably not a good idea to give to a young child to play with.)

Answer 3

I would almost say yes to all except for the wi fi. You would be able to use is as if it was in airplane mode.
