Is it usable? are you able to get apps for it?


Yes surprisingly my iPhone4 📱 from 2011 can still work fine, but the top button is stuck (can’t restart !).  a bit too small to type as I’m now used to bigger screen.

 

Amazing resilient piece of hardware from Apple!  I don’t recall I ever replaced battery.  Didn’t try to get any new app so can’t tell you. Whatever apps I had works too 🙂

Thanks to @wetcoaster 's insistence, I try @CalgaryBen link, and YES, now the iPhone4 has 3G data - WITHOUT restarting the phone. Wow !!!  Really appreciate all your help.  Cheers!

Thanks everyone.  But after reading your replies and take a close look at my old iPhone4... maybe it's not worth it to try to get cellular data to work - as it is pretty old and the top button doesn't even work for me to restart the phone !  

 

It's already a miracle that PM phone & text service work on this phone - by just plug in the SIM card without turn it on/off 🙂  

 

Many thanks for your quick responses and have a great evening! 

If possible, please close this thread.  I'm good.


@pm_tl 

If talk and text work data is working as well with the proper settings (at least on 3G frequency bands) - see the post / thread that @mimmo and @CalgaryBen  have linked to and follow the steps outlined there.

@hycm53 Thanks for your link and it looks like my iPhone4 is CDMA and it is NOT supported by PM ... unfortunately per this post: https://apn-canada.gishan.net/en/apn/public-mobile/apple-iphone-4-cdma  

 

btw. my iPhone4 is so old that some buttons don't work. It's time to get a newer one 🙂

Thanks for your help.

@Alex888 Sorry didn't have time to check until now.  Model is MC603C/A. However I will try some of the tips that others posted to see if those help.  Thanks.

Hi Alex888,

 

yes i did sign up for AutoPay right at the store. In fact, I got a text confirming my autopay credit right away.

 

How do I find the specific model of my old iPhone4 - I bought it at Apple Store in Toronto in 2011-2012 timeframe?

 

thanks.

First turn on iPhone mobile data, second using this website to edit iPhone APN setting.

@pm_tl  Did you setup autopay? The bonus is only applied if autopay is active.

 

Which specific model is your phone A1349 CDMA  or A1332 GSM?
