can't use the iphone 6 s more like ipod touch for calls/texts?

OK, it's probably a unique situation. I have two iPhones to verizon. One is a 6 sec more not active, the other is a 5s which is activated. Basically, I use 5S for when I go out (where I prefer to use a hand on a bigger screen), and I want to use the 6s more as a second phone (via continuity) exclusively at home (where I prefer a bigger screen on one-handed use), but I am running into problems.

First of all, let me say that I tried a mini ipad for a few weeks... twice... and every time I found it is too big for what I wanted. I wanted a screen larger than my 5s at home, but I wanted to still be able to easily grab a single hand and use my thumb to scroll. And I wanted to put always in my pocket when I was moving from room to room of my house. The mini was simply too great for that. The 5.5 "more does the job much better. But then again, I prefer the small size of 5 when I when I go out, especially since I don't spend much time on my phone outside the House, so I couldn't use more to replace my main phone.

I would like therefore to anchor my 5s when I go home and just use my more like my phone then at home. The problem is trying to get calls and texts of the function on the most through continuity. Both devices are signed in my Apple ID and are the same wifi network. But on my more...

In message settings, under "imessage" he says only: "awaiting activation...". »

In Facetime settings, under 'facetime' he also says 'awaiting activation... ". »

The messages app shows no history of conversation.

The facetime app, shows, however, that ONE of my previous facetime calls in history. The strange thing is that this call is not listed in my 5s facetime app even though it shows the call history, before and after this date.

I tried to send/receive texts on my 5 since setting up the most and none appear on my. I tried to make a call, but there was some message automatic verizon to pay money to make the call. Tried not to receive phone calls still well.

As I understand it, iphones that are not activated are simply ipod touch, but for some reason, this does not seem to be true, since on ipod touch, facetime and messages can connect to one identifier Apple and manage the calls and texts with full transparency.

Any ideas? Much appreciated!

Sorry... I'm a bit confused. Which phone has the SIM inside? You will use the 6 s + as an iPod Touch, but your post seems to say that you will use it as a phone your title says.

Regardless, I think that you need to activate the "iPod Touch", using a SIM card, and then you could remove it. You would lose any function that relies on the SIM door of course.

Activation of a phone is a thing of the part 2. One for the carrier, one for Apple. A real iPod Touch activation would be fair for Apple.

I don't think or other device would do anything if not enabled. Internally, your two devices are phones and probably must be activated in this way. Out the SIM card after activation would be where your phone becomes an iPod Touch.

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • Can I use the username and password of Microsoft Office Outlook for hyperion

    I'm new to Hyperion. Can someone say what can I use "user name" and "passwords" for Microsoft Office Outlook to connect hyperion applications.

    I don't talk about unique signature, but want to use the same usernames and passwords in Outlook.

    Any suggestions?

    It depends on the configuration of the authentication of your Outlook.

    Hyperion is usually configured to authenticate a network (NTLM, MSAD or LDAP) directory. I'm not an expert in Outlook, but my Outlook user ID and password is almost always my MSAD id and password (I regularly change the customers and it is almost always the same situation). So it is also usually the same as my Hyperion ID and password.

    Ask your administrator to Outlook if it uses (or synchronizes with) MSAD, NTLM or LDAP. If the answer is Yes, then you are in good shape because Hyperion may use these facilities.

    Hope this helps,
    -Jake

  • Hello, I had the iphone from USA and when I try to use this phone in India it displays "SIM NOT VALID". Use a different SIM card, which supports or carrier to unlock your device. What it means? How can I use the iphone in inidia?

    Your phone is locked on an American aircraft carrier. You must get the carrier to open it for you, and most carriers require you to be a current customer in good standing.  Apple will not unlock the phone like Apple do not SIM unlock phones. only the carrier that it is locked to do it.

    You have a brick. If you bought a person, return it for a refund and buy an iPhone in India that you will be able to use.

  • Can I use the Time Capsule wireless for multiple computers without using it as a router?

    I am looking for an external backup for 2 computers drive.  I have a desktop iMac and MacBook Air.  I like the idea of being able to back up my MacBook Air wireless, but I need to make sure that it will work the way I need to.

    I already have a wireless router that works well for me, I don't need the time Capsule to act as a router. I'm just needing a wireless backup drive.  So, the question is, can I use the only time Capsule as a storage device for backup of wifi or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?  My fear is that the router service is not as good as the router, I currently have.  I live in a big House of 2 floors, making it very difficult to receive a strong signal throughout the House.

    can I use time Capsule only as a backup wireless storage device or do I also have to use it as a wifi router?

    Time Capsule need to connect to your router/modem existing using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    If you plan to use the time Capsule to back up your Mac with the help of the application Time Machine on every Mac, the Mac will have to save on the wireless signal Time Capsule for the process to be officially supported by Apple.

    While it is possible to turn off wireless on the Time Capsule and try to save it to your existing wireless network... and it pourrait work... but there will be no Apple support backup problems... so it would be a good idea to plan to use Time Capsule wireless backup purposes.

    Hi I want to buy an iphone 6 s more, but I want to use it as a small tablet can I carry everywhere I go to play games and to entertain me. I don't want or need a provider, I just want to be able to use freely as an ipad. Can I use the phone normally (get the apps, music, etc.) without a carrier and just use my wifi? I don't want any calls or texts I was just wondering if it would be functional if I activate. (the only reason why I did not receive an ipad is because they are not as portable) Thank you!!
