Can you unlock an iphone 4 without a sim
card?

What are you referring to in regards to unlocking. Are you talking about unlocking the screen with a passcode, or unlocking the device from the carrier the phone is locked to?
If you are referring to unlocking the phone from the carrier so it can be used with other carriers, you need to make contact with the carrier it is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking services and if you qualify for the unlock. They will provide you with instructions on what to do after that.

    Can you start a iphone4s without a SIM card? Because mine is arriving next week.

    Turning an iPhone or any phone for that matter on has nothing to do with a SIM being installed.
    All iPhones require a SIM card for activation.  The SIM does not need to be active, but it must be from the carrier the device is locked to.

    No one here can know why for certain, and yes.
    If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or something else.

  • TS2846 How do i activate iphone 4s without a SIM card from a supported carrier?

    How do i activate iphone 4s without a SIM card from a supported carrier?

    Only the carrier your phone is locked to can authorize your phone's official unlocking. You'll have to contact them as to cost/procedure. Note: Most carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a current or former customer, using that phone, on their network.

  • IPhone 3 without a sim card

    I have an old iPhone 3 without a sim card.  Does anyone know what I can do to get it working just as an ipod?  Or what I could do about finding a new sim card?

    To re-activate in iTunes requires a sim card be installed in the phone. Since you're in the US, that would be an AT&T sim card. If you don't have one, you can borrow one from someone to activate your phone. If that's not possible, you'll have to go to an AT&T store & get one. They will most likely require you sign up for service...you can cancel immediately after the phone is activated. But, bottom line...you need a sim card.

  • Air Navigation Pro Using Integrated iPhone GPS without a sim card

    I use Air Navigation Pro with my iphone on a passenger seat of the  plane. Integrated GPS function works  just fine without a SIM card installed, but only to a certain speed ~300 km/h or height then it can’t find any satellite at all. Can be this problem be solved with the integrated GPS?

    Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
    I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
    Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
    Thanks again.

  • Need a help in activating my iPhone 5c without a SIM card

    Hi,
    I am an Indian and have landed in Washington DC yesterday. I have been given an iPhone 5c by my company without a SIM card. I wanted to use this phone to take few snaps as it is snowing outside. Please help me.
    Regards,
    Ram Markandan

    There is no way to do anything with that device until you do activate it, and in order to activate it there must be a SIM present.
    It can be any SIM (that fits, obviously) and Apple activation does nothing to the SIM card itself.  You can try to borrow someone's SIM card for the couple of minutes it will take to activate it, then give the SIM back.  Once activated, you can use the iPhone effectively as an iPod Touch (i.e. no cellular capabilities) without any SIM in place.
    (activation merely refers to activating the device in Apple's system, it does not refer to anything regarding cell phone service - that's a completely separate step).
