Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

Can I use my old iPhone as an iPod?

I just learned that my shiny new iPhone 4 has shipped and had a thought: Can I use my old original iPhone as an iPod touch? i.e., use it for music, games, etc. via WiFi. It seems like there should be no problem whatsoever, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

milo,

Can I use the old iphone as an ipod touch?

My buddy wants to upgrade to the new iphone, so if I get his old iphone can I use it basically as an ipod touch? I don't want to pay the $80+ for phone service but love all the touch features. Please help with this question.

I think you're set if he cancels his service providing he had the pay-as-you-go plan. No voice or EDGE, but I'm 95% sure everything else will work, including WiFi.

Use my Old Iphone as a Ipod?

I just upgraded to the new iphone and was thinking about using my original phone as a ipod. Can I sync just my music with my old phone without messing up new phone?

I too would like to use my original iphone (first gen) as an ipod touch.
I moved my orig iphone sim card into my 3Gs when I got the new iphone...and then put an old sim card I had around into the orig iphone when the screen displayed that it needed a sim card.
Now the orig iphone only displays the familiar "USB cable to iTunes" pic and when I try to go thru the activation in iTunes the processes wants to create a new ATT account and plan for me. (I called ATT while doing this and the person confirmed that this is what would happen if I followed through.)
Is the ONLY WAY to use an original iphone (as an ipod) WITHOUT the original sim card to jailbreak it?
Thanks for any insights

Yes.
Back your old phone up in iTunes first. Then after you swap the SIM card into the new phone, connect the new one to iTunes and choose "Restore from backup." It should replicate everything that was on the old phone, right down to most of your settings and text message history.

I got the same message.
I bought an iPhone 5 at full retail price from an AT&T store. I requested the phone to be unlocked through their unlock portal. The AT&T unlock system asked for the IMEI number, a copy of my receipt showing that I bougth the phone at "No Commitment" price. A few hours later I received a message from AT&T stating that the unlock request was approved. I then followed the instructions to back up the phone and restore it through Itunes. The phone activates normally with the AT&T SIM card. But when I insert my VODAFONE SIM I get the massage "THE SIM CARD... etc.
I tried again to back up & restore the phone 3 or 4 times, no success. I have also allowed 24 hours for the unlock process to complete. Still no luck.
I have checked again on the AT&T Unlock Status portal and it shows "Unlock approved".
Where is the issue here? Do I have to call Apple or return the phone to AT&T and get the unlocked phone through the Apple Store?
Thanks for any help on this.

It appears that you have an iPhone that is locked to a carrier other than the one you were using. Now that you have tried to update the iOS, it has relocked. That is what happens if you are using a phone that has been hacked to unlock. You have also forfeited support from Apple and from this forum.
