Using the Treo 750 with no SIM CARD

Please advise on how I can use the Treo 750 for everything except what I would need a sim card for.  I am currently upgrading my smartphone, but would like to have my wife use the PDA functions and apps on the Treo without having to insert a sim card until she is comfortable with using the smartphone for everything else. 
The features I would expect NOT to have is phone service, wireless data service - wireless exchange email and wireless internet access.  Associated services that would be great to retain - Outlook Exchange Server synch/update via USB when tied to a PC that has internet connection.
Sort of like turning an iphone into an ipod touch.
When I boot the phone without a sim card, it basically says I cannot use it without a sim card.  Would I need a "dummy" sim to make the thing more than a paperweight?
Please advise.

Hello!
Quickly hit the start menu button twice and that should go back to the today screen and use like a PDA.  Due note that a restart and/or using cellular stuff could trigger the SIM card requirement again.

    hello,
    Am An Iphone Costumer  i purchased an iphone 5S in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

    Well, surely you know which carrier you were using in the UAE when you purchased the phone?
    You can tell if the phone is unlocked if you put a new sim card in the phone and it works - if you put a new sim card in the phone and it comes up with 'sim card invalid', then the phone is locked and you'll need to get it unlocked.

  • Did the iphone works with egyptian sim card in egypt inspite of purchased from usa, did the iphone works in egypt dispite of purchased from usa

    dose the iphone work in egypt with egyptian sim card inspite of it purchased from usa

    If the iPhone is officially unlocked, then it should work with any compatible carrier anywhere. You will not get any support from Apple in Egypt for a US-sold iPhone, though.

  • Can I use the unlocked 3GS without a SIM card?

    I am one of the few (I guess) who refuse to pay for a data plan, but still want a capable iOS device that fits in my pocket. With no updates and aging specs, the iPod touch is not the option I hoped it would be.
    So, what I'm wondering, is if I buy the 3GS Unlocked from the Apple store for $375, can I use it as an iPhone without the phone if I don't put a SIM card in it? Yes, I understand it will not function as a phone.
    I basically want an iPod toch with GPS, a better camera, and a better processor... will the 3GS Unlocked be able to function in that capacity if I never activate it on any network, or does it require a SIM card to even "turn on"?

    The current iPod Touch is basically an iPhone 4 without the phone feature, see here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ipod/specs/ipod-touch-4th-gen-4g-facetime- specs.html.
    If if you would go for an iPhone 3GS, it would not be more powerful than the current iPod Touch.

  • TS2755 Can I use my unlocked Iphone with no sim card, like an Ipod?

    I am being deployed and had my account paused (ATT) untill I return. My service is currently off. The ATT rep said that I would need to take the sim card out when updating any apps or it might revert back and lock the phone again. I am trying to message (text) my wife with message (she has an I phone 3gs). I am gettign aerror message. when I go to settings/messages I truned everything off except imessage. By accident, I truned it off, when I turned it on it says "waiting for activation..." any help would be much appreciated.

    I can get calls with it using my UK sim (legally unlocked by my carrier O2) but I'd like to use it to make local calls.
    On the screen I'm getting normal icons but in the top left hand corner...no signal.  It just pops up and then it goes off.
    I tried turning the handset off and on but no joy...

  • I bought an Ipad with cell in Singpore and want to use it in uk with uk sim card, is any network okay?

    I need to roam in uk - can I use any network sim? Bought Ipad in Singapore?

    Don't see why not.  I have an iPad 2 which I bought in France, where I live.  I have a French (contract) sim card in my iPad, and every time I arrive in the UK, I switch to a British (pay as you go) sim card I got in London. 
    Mine comes from O2, but I have previously had one from Vodafone.  I only use it when there is no wifi available, as my particular offer is limited to 1gb of data a month.

  • Use of Iphone 3Gs with another SIM card

    I purchased an Iphone 3Gs in France from Orange without a contract, i.e. paid the full price and therefore it should be unlocked. I now want to use it for trips and put another SIM card in it. Now after resetting it, it simply tells me that the SIM is invalid... Any suggestions?

    Call Orange.  Even though it should have been unlocked, they still lock it until you ask them to unlock it.  They're obligated to unlock it, so don't let them tell you otherwise.

  • Using the Capture function with a Capture Card

    I was wondering why I can't get premiere to recognize my capture card when I try to use the capture function.

    Ah, then you are out of luck. Premiere only captures via firewire.
    If your camera has usb then copy content of memory or card to hard disk then import into Premiere.

  • Using the WRT54G3G-ST with cellular PCMCIA cards other than Sprint?

    I am looking at using a Cingular PCMCIA "aircard" with my laptop, but would also like to take advantage of it at home for a desktops with wi-fi adapter when not in use with my laptop.  The WRT54G3G-ST seems to only be sold from Sprint (in the US at least), but I am wondering whether folks here have experience using it with any other vendor cellular broadband cards?  It would seem that this SHOULD work, but I wanted to see whether there are any known gatchas.

    Have you changed Sprint login info to Cingular info?
    In notebook, load Sierra Watcher software, verify card connects thru watcher, then ask watcher for particulars of connection to Cingular.
    Change all the Sprint connection info to Cingular.
    One other problem, Sprint frequencies may differ. Sierra web has pdf with command set of Sierra cards, so you can ask card for frequency band it is using.
    Many posts of connecting to Cingular in Linux should apply to G3G connection to Cingular. Many lists of conection protocols are in those posts.
    Please reply if it works near fast as same card does in Windiz!

  • Using unlocked Aus iPhone with USA sim card?

    I'm moving to USA from Australia, if i unlock my iPhone can i use it normally with a USA sim such as Verizon or AT&T?

    If it is officially unlocked you will certainly be able to use it with AT&T, but not with Version as they do not even use sims.  Yours is a GSM handset and Verison use a different version.

  • Pairing Treo 750 with Toyota

    Anyone successful pairing the Treo 750 with a 2008 Toyota? I was unable even after contacting Palm support (no help except telling me about the Palm web info). I have read of an occassional partial success but I am unable to duplicate. I have upgradeed to the new Windows 6.0 hoping that would help for AT&T but still no pairing. Although Palm support says it should be compatible on Toyotas equipped with the Denso 5, Toyota support said that they do not consider the Treo devices compatible with their Bluetooth car kit as it performs inconsistently at best. Any ideas??? Or do I have a $400 paper weight, a new car,  and a different phone from another manufacture from now on?

    Pairing FIX for all Toyota Bluetooths with Nav System
    The phone would finish pairing with the Toyota and was happy but theCar still said "CONNECTING".
    I figured out that placing a call from the phone would actually force the connection and complete the pairing.  
    Amazing that this was only discovered after Palm sent me 2 new Palms and Toyota gave me a new Nav...and still no FIX.Found the answer in this forum...How does Palm Tech Support not know this simple resolution ?????

  • Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

    Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

    As long as you buy from an Apple retail Store (Apple owned ) an unlocked iPhone 4S it will work on GSM services worldwide
    from Apple.com
    If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible micro-SIM separately. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s from a local GSM carrier.
    The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
    However the warranty will NOT be valid outside the US .If you need warranty or post warranty service you will have to return the iPhone to the US in person ( cannot mail in to US )

  • Can I unblock the iPad mini to use in other countries in Latin America with another SIM Card?

    I recently was in Panama and found out I could unlock my iPhone 5S to use it with a SIM card from a local phone company including data.
    Can this be done with the iPad mini? Or with any iPad? It would be great if I can unblock it and work with my iPad without the need of wi fi.

    iPads are sold unlocked.
