How to activate iPhone 5s without SIM

!!!

You can't. You require a valid sim card to activate the phone.
It does not need to have active service, but it needs to be a valid functional sim. If the phone is locked to a particular carrier, the sim card needs to be from that carrier.

    But how can i start and activate my iphone 5 without any sim card ..
    If i can't ... that s a very bad point ..

    You can't.  Because the iPhone 5 is actually a phone as it's name implies you will need a sim card in it to be able to activate it.

    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.

    how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?
    please help..

    Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.

    my iphone 5s was stolen and i gps d it and found where it was but they turned it off and denied it and i googled how to open iphone 5s without passcode and a youtube video showed how, so now i am out of a phone that i just paid 300 dollars for because i dropped my last 5s and the glass shattered and i didnt have any insurance. so now it seems like i am out again. i was sold on the fact that the fingerprint sensor would stop that from happening but they can just reset the phone and have it as theirs new. is there anything i can do to get my phone back.

    If you set up your phone correctly, it is still protected by the Activation Lock and can be used without knowing your AppleID and password.
    Here are some more things about that:
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    How do you turn off or cancel Lost Mode?
    You can turn off Lost Mode by entering the passcode on your device. You can also turn off Lost Mode on iCloud.com or from the Find My iPhone app.

    Are you looking for the serial number or the IMEI? If the phone was active on your Verizon acount, Verizon can give you the IMEI.

    Hello Jacky lou
    If you cannot activate your iPhone with cellular service, then check out the first article to sort you out. If it deals with Activation Lock, then you will need to enter in the password correctly to get passed that point. Check out the second article for more information on Activation Lock.

    Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
    I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
    See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

    I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

    I assume he wants one not locked to AT&T, not only no contract. Any iPhone AT&T sells will be locked to AT&T.
    BUT .. you can buy unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple Canada:
    "Your new iPhone. Direct from Apple and ready to use.
    When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it commitment-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time. Questions? Call our iPhone experts at 1-800-MY-APPLE."
    but I think this is only on line and likely must be shipped to a Canadian address.

    There should be a SIM eject tool in the box.  Insert in the small hole on the right hand side of the iPhone to eject the tray. You have to get the correct angle.
    I do not believe that a SIM eject tool has been provided for the past couple of years.
