Is there a way to use old iphones without a sim card

Yes but if it needs activating first then a Sim card must be inserted just during the activation process
and can then be removed

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. -
How can i use my iphone without a sim card
I updated my iphone 3gs and now it wont let me use it without my sim card, is there a way to un-update it or something?
It needs a SIM card to activate. Downgrading iOS is not supported, but even if it was, you would still need a SIM to activate it. Just get a SIM, it doesn't need to have active service on it. The SIM is just required for the initial activation, and you can take it out afterwards.

Use unlocked iPhone without a SIM card.
Hey. Yesterday, I bought an unlocked iPhone and when I wanted to use it for the first time, it didnt let me because it hasnt a SIM card inside. Is it normal on unlocked iPhones? I was expecting to use it without a SIM card until I get back home.
Thank you so much Lawrence. I was visiting USA and my fear was that they didnt gave me an unlocked iPhone and cant use it when I get back home (in South America). So, I can get a local SIM from a local carrier to activate the iPhone and then, when I'm in my country, change it for a SIM that I use in my country and will work correctly, right?

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

syncing my iphone 3gs with exchange server 2007. Is there a way to delete from iphone, without it deleting from my outlook ?
iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

Have a AT&T iphone 4 and it will not let me login to the iPhone without a sims card and if you use a AT&T sims card it won't work
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.

Can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?
can i reset my iphone without the sim card burning ?
Why would your sim card be burning?. If anything is burning it is safe just not to use the device at all and take it into an Apple Store to be evaluated.

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.
