Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod
can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?
The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

How can i use my iphone without a sim card
I updated my iphone 3gs and now it wont let me use it without my sim card, is there a way to un-update it or something?
It needs a SIM card to activate. Downgrading iOS is not supported, but even if it was, you would still need a SIM to activate it. Just get a SIM, it doesn't need to have active service on it. The SIM is just required for the initial activation, and you can take it out afterwards.

Can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?
can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?
Why would your sim card be burning?. If anything is burning it is safe just not to use the device at all and take it into an Apple Store to be evaluated.

Use unlocked iPhone without a SIM card.
Hey. Yesterday, I bought an unlocked iPhone and when I wanted to use it for the first time, it didnt let me because it hasnt a SIM card inside. Is it normal on unlocked iPhones? I was expecting to use it without a SIM card until I get back home.
Thank you so much Lawrence. I was visiting USA and my fear was that they didnt gave me an unlocked iPhone and cant use it when I get back home (in South America). So, I can get a local SIM from a local carrier to activate the iPhone and then, when I'm in my country, change it for a SIM that I use in my country and will work correctly, right?

Can i restore my iPhone without the SIM card?
HELLO! I have a new issue.
I updated my carrier plan. It started in April 2012 and finished in April 2014. I got an iPhone 5S in that transaction, but my old iPhone 3GS works yet.
I want restore it to delete ALL DATA (it's so slow), but i'm not secure, usually the iPhones require a SIM Card to activate the phone. Really, it have a SIM Card, but isn't working, the carrier deactivated it and ever says: "No Service".
Should i restore it by iTunes to iOS 6.1.6?
Thank you!Your iPhone just needs to have a SIM in it in order for the restore to complete - the SIM does not need to be active. As long as it's present in the phone, the restore should complete unless there's another issue with the phone

Can i use the Iphone without Activating it just as an ipod
Can i just use the iphone as an ipod. Put songs on it without having to activate it or canceling the plan and it still work like an ipod.
It is what it is and before purchasing an iPhone, it is also YOUR choice to read/know the minimum computer system requirements, etc. and it is Apple's choice regarding what they include with the system requirements and other requirements for the iPhone.
It isn't your right and choice to do whatever you want with the iPhone after your purchase since you agree to Apple's license agreement when using an iPhone.
If you don't like the iPhone's minimum system requirements and other requirements and don't agree with the iPhone's license agreement, you can choose not to purchase an iPhone.
Apple's goal as a corporation is no different from any other corporation whose stock is publicly traded - maximize profits and the stock's value for their stock holders. End of story. I hope Steve purchases a new yacht for every coast in the U.S. or wherever else. It is called risk taking and those who take the risks to begin with - the founders of the company and the risks taken along the way should be rewarded very handsomely for doing so and rightfully so. The ones who aren't smart enough and willing to take the same type of risks sit back and make judgements and statements about the ones that do. -
How can i activate an iphone without a sim card?
i need help my friend just gave me his iphone 4s since he upgraded to a 5s and i dont want to use it with a sevice i just want it to be like an ipod where i can listen to music and stuff but its telling me it wont activate till a sim card is installed and i tried connecting it to itunes but the same thing pops up i need to installa sim card i just need help to active it that's all
See if you can borrow the friend's SIM card. You do not have to have cellular service, but you do need a SIM card to activate the phone. After activation, you can remove the SIM, however do not update the iOS on the device unless you have access to another SIM.

Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work
Define "won't work"...
You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.

I bought iphone4 in china, the ss number is 82044JAVA4S, and it broken when I was in USA. After I sending to your company. You send me a new phone, but this phone is locked phone. I can't use it. Because my sim card is from china, so I think you shoulu give me a unlocked one.
I understand your frustration.
Fortunately for you, you can make your new phone to work; but to do so, you have to call your Chineese carrier and give them the IMEI number found on the SIM card of your iPhone.
They will then activate it and you will be able to use it.
It's NOT a matter of locked/unloked phone; it's a matter of activating (pairing) a SIM card with a phone !
Just call you Chineese carrier and have them register your SIM card with your new iPhone and you will be back in Business ! -
International sim card
I don't know about an international sim card. You can buy the iPhones unlocked in selected countries as they are legally required to sell them unlocked. Such as here in New Zealand. The unlocked iPhones can be used with any carriers micro sim cards.
