  • 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.

  • How do i activate my iphone 4 without sim card?

    i need help activating my iphone 4 without sim card please help

    iPhones require a SIM for activation. The SIM does not need to be active but must be for the carrier the device is locked to.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You cannot set up an iPhone unless there is a SIM card in it.

  • Have been using iPhone 5 without sim for 6 months, restore, and now I can't complete restore, this error:

    "There is no sim card in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
    Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone."
    There is a lock symbol above right, but, can’t do anything with that.
    I am not trying to activate the phone, just doing a restore . The phone was unlocked by AT&T 6 months ago, after contract was up.
    This is strange, I’ve been using this iPhone (5) for 6 months without a SIM, first time I’ve tried to do a restore, and it won’t let me, thinks I want to activate it? I just want to continue to use it as an iPod touch. What do I do? I have the old sim card, but, I don’t want to put it in and attempt to activate it, it is an AT&T sim and I left them behind 6 months ago. I could try the T-Mobile SIM in my iPhone 6, unless it is again smaller than the iPhone 5 sim?
    I should be able to restore this phone without the sim and continue to use it as an iPod touch, why is this a hassle??? I'm a long time Apple user, prefer their products, but, sometimes Apple is extremely frustrating! Aarg!
    Anyone know what to do?

    ok, I did, and it said again congrats your iPhone is unlocked, but, when it said there was a new carrier update, I cancelled it, but, it asked me again, I cancelled again, I guess I'm scared it will lock it again if I allow the carrier update.
    Oh, there it goes again, this time on the phone, arg. I hit update, I hope it doesn't freak out.
    I'm glad I didn't destroy the SIM like I almost did. But, it will come out again, longer battery life with the cell portion turned off.

    If you don't want to pay for carrier services, you can keep the SIM card in your device and just not pay...
    Hope it will be helpful

  • How to import iPhone contacts to SIM Card?

    I am buying a new phone, and I have a lot of contacts on my SIM. I don't know how to transfer my iPhone contacts to my SIM?

    Maybe if you gave us some clue what kind of phone you're getting... If you're getting a newer iPhone, then all you have to do is back up the old one, and restore it to the new one. If you sync contacts with a cloud service that's compatible with your new phone, you can just sync them down. Virtually no modern smartphones actually store contacts on the SIM. The format for contact storage on a SIM card can only hold a fraction of the information many people keep for their contacts.
