HT201407 If I order a iphone 5c will I be able to activate it without a sims card?

I order a iphone 5c and I don't know if I can activate it without a sims card I just wanna know can I activate it without the sims card and just use itunes to activate it.

No you cannot, a sim card is required for activation it does not need to be an active account and can be removed immediately after activation

  • Can I activate an unlocked iPhone 6 without a sim card?

    My iPhone 4s was stolen in Mexico and according to my find my iPhone app, its offline. I am assuming I will never see it again. I am currently in the USA but am originally from Australia. I will be in the States until mid February. I kind of need a phone and was thinking of just purchasing an unlocked iPhone 6 whilst in the States. A lot of retail stores don't seem to sell unlocked phones, but I see I can purchase one from the apple store. I was just wondering if I purchased an unlocked iPhone 6 from the apple store with no sim card, would I be able to activate it without a sim? I have my old phone backed up on my laptop so I am hoping just to restore it to my new phone. Then I plan to use the phone with no sim until I arrive back home in Australia where I can purchase a sim with my home carrier and transfer my number back. Am I able to do this? I only intend to use my phone when connected to Wi-Fi. Any help is great

    I'm not sure if it comes with a carrier. It was given to me by my travel agent but didn't really intend to use it. It says JT - Jersey Telecom (not sure what that means?). I have to activate the sim on a website called www.rechargeminutes.com. But looking at the sim, I am unsure if it would fit in an iPhone 6 because I was reading that they are different sizes?

  • How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

    Hi,
    How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
    Thank you for your help in advance,

    Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help   thanks,

  • From my iphone 4 will I be able to play games like Infinity Blade or even modern combat games through Apple Digital AV Adapter on my HDTV/HDMI LCD-television?

    I have a question before buying it...From my iphone 4 will I be able to play games like Infinity Blade or even modern combat games through Apple Digital AV Adapter on my HDTV/HDMI LCD-television?
    Will it support or i have to wait for iphone 5!!!

    Having spotty luck with it... see my other post in the iphone discussions...
    It does work, but only some of the time - it seems to need a kick in the *** though. Sometimes it links to the TV right away, some times it takes some switching between apps or videos in the camera roll, and now for some reason, it takes plugging my wife's phone in first and then swapping phones once her's is recognized and TV output connection made before mine will output signal to the TV.
    And it seems to do video only with some apps and audio only with others, and then nothing with yet others. I guess I just expected it to work, given that we both have freshly updated iphones (4.3), good cables and 2 HD TV's to test with...

  • If I buy a 32GB IPhone 4S, will i be able to store my current ITunes library on my phone through ICloud without taking up the 32GB built into my phone?

    If I buy a 32GB IPhone 4S, will I be able to store my current ITunes library on my phone through ICloud without taking up the 32GB built into my phone?

    iCloud does not store music except in two ways.  First, you can redownload music previously purchased from the iTunes store should you ever need to (as long as the songs are still available); which is referred to as "iTunes in the Cloud" (but has nothing to do with your personal iCloud account).  Secondly, you can store your music library in iCloud (up to 25,000 songs) if you subscribe to a fee-based service called iTunes Match (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  If you subscribe to iTunes Match you can keep your music in iCloud, but (at least at the current time) when you listen to this music it is simultaneously downloaded to your phone so it ends up using some of you phone's capacity anyway.

    No. If it states designed for both iPad and iPhone, then it won't run on an iPod touch.

    Define "won't work"...
    You can not activate an iPhone without a SIM. If the phone is carrier locked, you must have a valid Sim from the correct carrier.
    What EXACTLY is the message you're getting?

  • Is it possible to backup an iPhone without the SIM card?

    I've been an iPhone 3G user until recently when I bought my unlocked iPhone 4S. I was informed that I need to get my SIM card clipped in order for it to fit the new phone. My situation is that I'm actually traveling in overseas at the moment and do not have my computer with me to backup my old iPhone 3G. So my question is: can I go ahead and clip my SIM card now and then backup my iPhone 3G later without any SIM card, and finally syncing my new iPhone 4S? Or must I have my SIM card in the old iPhone 3G while backing it up?

    Having a SIM card in the device has no bearing on whether it will backup or sync with iTunes.
    A SIM card is required to activate the device and use a carriers services (voice, data, sms).
    Instead of trimming the SIM card, you are better off getting a microSIM from your carrier.  If you accidentally mess up trimming the SIM card it will become useless.

  • 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).

    You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

  • 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.
