How do I first activate unlocked iPhone without sim card?

I got an unlocked iphone 5C today.  The first thing it asked for was the internet access.  After that it is looking for the sim card and won't let me do anything else.  I don't have one yet, and thought I could use the phone without it.  How do I go on activating the phone without the sim card?

" So if I need a sim card, why did they offer to set it up for me? "
Really?
So it would be set up for you.
You don't have a SIM card?
What network are you going to use?

  • HT201328 Unlocking iPhone without SIM card

    I submitted an unlock request to my carrier (at&t). They indicated that request had been processed and I need to do backup and restore in iTunes while having SIM card in the phone to finish up the process. The problem is that I don't have my at&t SIM card which I disposed after upgrading to a new phone.
    If I erase the phone now and give it to my parents will they be able to use it with another carrier?

    Voprosy k tomu I am the existing customer for AT&T i oni dozhny legal'mne mne unlock the phone potomu chto na nego contract expired. Chto oni i sdelali, no okazalos' chto nuzhno imet' SIM card. ESli net SIM card, to skazali contact Apple. Apple has this knowledgebase article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014

  • Activating iPhone without sim card to use it as an ipod.

    I'm from Argentina, I will travel to the U.S. and I want to buy an unlocked iphone 5.
    During the trip I want to use it as an ipod. I want to use safari, facebook and the camera.
    Can i activate it without a sim card to use it? As soon as I get to Argentina I will activate it
    with a sim card of a local company. Thanks

    Must be an activated sim card? I can take one from Argentina and install it on the iphone. The sim card has no international coverage. It works the same? 

  • 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.

  • How to sync purchased music from an iPhone without SIM card?

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 3GS, which I used, till I got a new iPhone 4.
    Meanwhile it was working for my girlfriend as "iPodtouch". Yesterday I was able to have my cellular network provider to remove the sim lock, so that the iPhone 3GS is now again able to be used as cell phone.
    Meanwhile my girlfriend purchased music at iTunes. I want to sync the iPhone 3GS to iTunes, but it always say "no sim card installed" The only way wold be to go thru the lock free procedure to sync, but that will delete all content on that phone. (including the purchased music)
    My question now is:
    How can I sync an iPhone 3GS to iTunes, without the SIM card installed?
    Thank you for your trouble.
    Henning

    Open itunes.
    Connect iphone.
    Look at the top of your computer screen for the word "File" .  Click it.
    Then click "Transfer Purchases"

  • Unlocked iphone 5 sim card travel

    Hi there.  I have an unlocked iphone 5 that I bought from the Apple Store.  We are going on a vacation to New York (we're from Canada) and I would like to buy a prepaid sim card to use there for Voice, Data and Messaging.  Can you tell me if there is a simple way to do this? The info I have found so far has sounded rather complicated.
    Thanks so much.

    Yes, from any carrier since it is already unlocked.

  • SMS relay on 2nd iPhone without Sim-Card?

    hello guys i have a iPhone 5s that i use as my main device it has a sim. i use SMS relay a bit now on my macs or iPad now i was wondering if it is possible to get sms relay and calls to work on a second iPhone without a sim installed if i allow it to access sms relay on my main iPhone it will only receive texts and I'm guessing calls too.
    also if i did get a sim for that phone would it send responses via that sim number or my main phones number?
    thanks, luke

  • Sell iPhone without sim card?

    I'm selling my two off contract iPhone 4's.. I am wondering if it's necessary to remove the sim card, or sell it with the phone?

    Surely the SIM cards would be useless to the buyer as you would be terminating your data/call plan with your carrier, thus either changing numbers or porting to your new phone.  You say the iPhones are off contract, does that mean they are locked or unlocked to a carrier, if locked you would need to advise the buyer who they are locked in order that they can establish service with the carrier.

  • Possible to track lost/stolen iPhone without sim card?

    I managed to lose my iPhone last night ( )and I think it may have been picked up by someone as it was lost in a bar and the bar hasn't got it. I've tried calling it but it just goes straight to my voicemail.
    Since it was fully charged, I don't think it's died. If someone has taken the sim card out and restored the phone, is there any way to track the actual phone?

    With a MobileMe account and Find My iPhone enabled along with the Passcode Lock feature enabled which prevents someone from accessing anything on your iPhone, removing the SIM card prevents using the Find My iPhone features. The same if the iPhone is restored with iTunes as a new iPhone.

  • How to Do Verification Of iPhone 4s Without SIM Card

    You mean activate it? You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card in the phone. If you don't have one, you have no choice but to get one. Borrow one if you have to.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
