Android galaxy allows wifi without sim

Android allows the wi fi to be used on phones without sim cards. do iphones offer the same thing and if so, how do i get into the phone?

As long as a phone is activated and usable you don't need a cellular connection in order to use Wi-Fi.

HT1349 how wifi without sim?

Tell me, who know how wifi without sim? is can work? why only wifi with SIM ?

iPhone Wi-Fi works perfect without SIM Card. With iPhone working perfect, remove SIM Card if you like, or just go Settings>Airplane Mode>ON, this will block SIM Card.
To turn Wi-Fi on Settings>Wi-Fi>ON, very easy. No SIM Card is needed. You can even make perfect internet phone calls with just Wi-Fi.

Ipad Mini - Can I use wifi without sim card?

I'm thinking about buying Ipad Mini but I don't know if I can use my home wifi connection without a sim card. Should I buy it too?
How can I use Ipad Mini without a sim card? What can I do without it?

The Sim Card is only necessary if you plan on using a Cellular connection. In fact if you buy a Wifi only iPad it doesn't even have a slot for a sim card because it has no cellular capabilities.
The Sim card is used to connect a cellular carrier's network (like a mobile/cell phone would) to access the internet anywhere there is cell coverage without the need for a Wifi network being close by.

How to connect my ipad mini wifi without a SIM card

How do I connect my ipad mini cellular to wifi without a sim card

If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed. A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network. Its 2 different things.
For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network. It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

How can I delete my icloud account without wifi or sim

Hi my wifi is greyed out so won't turn on, I need to delete my icloud account from my phone, as I am selling it but I also now don't have a sim for it,
Can account be deleted without wifi or SIM card?

Have the new owner force the phone into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iOS device. They will then go through the setup process which includes connecting to wifi. At your end, perform the steps listed under "If the previous owner is not present" at the bottom of this article: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. Once the phone is erased and you remove it from your account, the new owner will be able to activate it normally using their own Apple ID (they may need to turn it off and on after you remove it from your account).

I lost my iPhone 5 and i wanted to know if i am able to track it down if its connected to a matcbook or any other compare without wifi and sim card?

i lost my iphone 5 and i wanted to know if i am able to track it down if its connected to a macbook or any type of computer without wifi and sim card? i have a lock on it but i still want to know if they try to reboot it will i be able to find out theyre doing it?

If you went into Find My iPhone and sent a lost request, or you tried a remote wipe, if the device was off line, then you would receive something if it was to go online. Did you have a passcode on the device? Did you have iOS 7 installed on it? If so, then even if they try to restore the phone, they will not be able to activate it because of Activation lock. Only certain things will get you a notification, and if they cannot get into the phone, you will not receive that. Without your Apple ID and password, the phone is useless to them if they try to restore it.

Android 4.0 WiFi stuck on

This seemed to be different to the other Android 4.0 WiFi issues people have been reporting so I decided to start my own discussion, to see whether anyone else has this problem. My phone will connect to WiFi hotspots without a problem, and I can generally turn on and turn off the WiFi as expected. However, I have noticed that whenever I physically leave a location which is covered by the WiFi hotspot I am connected to, the phone's WiFi appears to remain "locked" to the hotspot. Obviously in reality this isn't happening, as there is no longer any connection, but it still shows up with a full signal. What is most annoying though is that I cannot turn off the WiFi. Using any of the soft options to turn off the wifi does nothing to the wifi connection, and it will not pick up any new wifi hotspots, nor will it allow me to do a scan or anything in this mode. What's more, because the phone thinks it is connected via wifi it does not have any data traffic, so I have no internet connection.This cannot be rectified by trying any other fixes such as putting the phone into airplane mode (even in airplane mode it displays the wifi as connected at full strength). The only way to restore functionality to my phone is to reset it (which is an annoying two step process thanks to Sony's decision to not enable a soft reset option unlike other versions of Android 4.0). At first, the fault seemed more intermittant (i.e. it did not happen every time I left the WiFi spot) but now it is happening every time, and is incredibly annoying. Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here? It is not a router problem so please do not suggest that I change channels etc.On the whole I have been extremely disappointed by the Android 4.0 upgrade experience for this phone. For a dual core 1 GHz processor it runs like a slug. There's so much slow down on browsing and even looking at the main screen. I stopped using the xperia wallpaper but even with a static picture the main menu screens still seem very slow. The comparison with gingerbread is staggering. With gingerbread, this phone wasn't bad, but the dated software needed upgrading. With ICS, at times the phone seems unusable. However, I can cope with slow down (with a few grumbles), but this wifi issue is really, really annoying me and ruining my Xperia go experience.

Hi,Sorry for the late reply - I thought I would share my latest results regarding this problem, as the Sony online support people in Hong Kong seemed to know about this bug and offered a temporary solution.Apparently, this is a software issue that is known by Sony, and they are working on a fix. The problem (according to them) is that the phone's Wifi locks up when it "remembers" too many WiFi networks. They will release a software update, but in the meantime you can "fix" the issue by only remembering ~1-3 wireless networks (i.e. the ones you use the most).The steps are as follows:- "forget" all the networks in your WiFi list apart from the few that you really want to keep.- perform a "settings reset".Then it seems to work fine. Hopefully they'll release a fix soon (maybe with 4.1?) I thought I'd share this here as this appears to actually be the answer to my problem, just in case anyone else was having a similar problem.

I have bought a phone off my brother in law. It's an iphone 4 how do I unlock the phone to allow my O2 sim?

Is there anyway I can manually unlock this phone to allow my O2 sim card to be used? It is a sim for iphones as mine got stolen and I got a replacement sim. Ideally I would like to do this myself without having to take the phone to an independant shop who will charge me silly prices. My brother in law has contacted Orange and they tell him that he has to speak to Carphone Warehouse from where he bought the phone... yet they are saying that they do not unlock phones and there is info on apple website on instructions on how to unlock it yourself?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Only the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it if they offer that service. Apple does not unlock phones. Sorry

IPhone 5 activation without SIM - and absolutely need to set the phone before acquiring SIM

I bought the phone from the Apple Store a few days ago and I'm leaving for Europe in a few days for 4 months. I do not intend to change my existing "simple" phone service with Telus (Samsung Rugged II) right now before leaving, I intend to buy the service in Europe. The place I'll spend most time has only 3 G and I know that the LTE with my phone has Band 4 and 7 and can' work on European LTE's and that's the reason I decided to buy Americas phone as I will probably change my existing service with Telus when I return back. I want activate my iPhone and set my phone using wifi before I leave for Europe (mid June). I have the Apple store valid account (I have iPad) and I have the Apple store receipt for the unlocked iPhone. When I return I may decide to change my existing cell contract but that may be 6 months down the line and, as I paid for the phone and the phone is unlocked ( I did not get any nano SIM in the package), I need to get through the activation without SIM. ------- Can Apple store setup service do the activation for me -------?

Thx Tim,
I'm not using the phone that much in Canada, Ipad I have has cell connection as well and that's quite OK in NA plus the regular (unlocked) cell and when I go outdoors, I need Rugged waterproof and shockproof device, plus the Magellan GPS. It's only in Europe I want to carry small device I can use Skype, email, Internet browsing plus my unlocked Samsung Rugged ... That's the reason I need iPhone activate and set up ahead of my trip ... And I don't want to pay for service here when I will not use it for some time (perhaps never on the regular basis, just travels).
I believe that they want to confirm your identity and prevent theft but my registration through wifi and my Apple id should be sufficient together with receipt ...

Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
1. I wiped it
2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
3. It registered
4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

Installing iPhone without SIM-card

Is it possible to install an iPhone (using WiFi) without a SIM card (because I don't have one yet)?

You cannot activate an iPhone without a sim. The sim does not have
to be associated with an active account; however, if the iPhone is locked
to a wireless provider, the sim must be from that provider.
Borrow an appropriate sim from a friend/relative/co-worker for the few
minutes it will take to activate your iPhone, and then give the sim back.
