right....got an Iphone 4 which I am going to reactivate as it has not been used for a while
It will just be a phone for the car (old car) as there is a system in the car for it. I really just want it for maps/sat nav etc. although taking/making calls hands free will be available.....
Question.....if I get a pay as you go sim ....will this be enough to activate and use the maps function ?
any advise gratefully received
Depends on how much data allowance you'll have on the sim; use the maps as a Sat Nav between Canton and Ely every day you should be alright with about 2GB per month. Use it to travel to Yorkshire once a week and you'd need up to 20GB per month.
Maps rely on GPS not mobile data.Quote:

I’ve always turned mobile data off when using Apple maps on iPhone and never had a problemQuote:

If you just wanted to use GPS to see where you are it would be fine, but it's not going to update and give you directions etc without using data.
Your iPhone 4 will be slow as feck by now.
