How do i use iphone 5 without sim card

i have a iPhone 5 and i want to use it without a Sim card because i don't want to call or text how do i do it??????

This may not help however I also tried the same on a iPhone 3GS & 4.   My plan was to allow grandson to use it to play games yet prohibit any in-app purchase or random surfing, much like an older iPod would perform.
I did not have luck (or remained satisfied with what it was) so I turned off all radios and settings (Apple ID, email...) and it works with reasonable success with the SIM card in place.  My new phones have SIM cards that are sized smaller so I could not reuse these cards & my provider supplied new cards each time.

    You cannot use a UK carrier sim in Chile unless you are a UK customer and have roaming set up with the UK carrier and the Chinease carriers do not offer unlocking so I doubt the iphone is unlocked

    You don't get a SIM card unlocked, your iPhone has to be unlocked to use any SIM card.  Contact your carrier and ask if they will unlock your iPhone.

  • Can I use Iphone 4 sim card with Iphone 3g?

    Can I use the micro sim card in a Iphone 3g? I have to transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 3g. Thanks for any help.

    As Deggie says, I have been using a micro sim in my 3GS since the iphone 4 came out last year. I was sent one free from my provider as I had registered an interest in the iphone 4 but decided to see out my 3GS 2 year contract. Got the number swapped over anyway and got a sim convterter for free from the provider.

  • 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"

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Using 3g without sim card

    I have been using my 3g without a sim card for a year now. Just updated to latest software and it seems to have reverted back to original settings. Problem being I cannot get past the set up as it says the sim card inserted in the ipad does not appear to be supported (there is no sim card) Any advice appreciated.

    If you have an iPhone, swap your SIM into your iPad to activate it, then move it back.
    Otherwise you will need to acquire a SIM to use, it does not need to be an active, working SIM, just compatible.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?
