HT4623 activate iPhone 5 without sim

I want to use an Iphone 5 for dev ... i don't have and don't need a 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.
You can't activate a phone without a sim card.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • IPhone restore without SIM

    When I upgraded my iPhone, I kept my old iPhone 4 to use as an iPod touch.  It was getting so full of rubbish that I decided to wipe it and start again so I did a restore.  I didn't realise that I needed a SIM card to do this and now my phone is refusing to reactivate.  When I plug it in to iTunes, I am not offered any options of using previous backups.  I haven't kept my old SIM and don't have one that will fit into my iPhone.
    Is there any way I can bring my old iPhone back to life without a SIM card?

    No, there's not.  You will need a SIM (doesn't need to be an active SIM) to activate the phone.  If the phone was locked to a carrier, the SIM will need to be from that carrier.
    Best,

    You cannot. A SIM is required to activate an iPhone. It does not have to be an active SIM, but if the phone is locked to a carrier, it has to be one from that carrier.

  • 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.
