iMessage via WiFi. On your 3GS, go to Settings > Mesages > iMessage and turn it off if you don't want it.
iMessages are displayed on all of your iOS 5 devices logged in to the same account.

if you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?
You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.

To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch. -
I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing. -

Trying to update idad software. Keep getting message that network connection timed out. Don't have a network.
guyfromplantation wrote:Don't have a network.
That would be problem number 1. The device MUST be connected to the Internet to download software updates.
I am guessing you are trying to download an iOS update, common causes for the error you mentions are Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the computer preventing files from downloading.
If this doesn't address your issue, try rewording your issue so that we can better understand the problem you are having. -
I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.
Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier. -
How can I get my photos off my iPhone 3 eventhough I don't have a sim card any longer?
I have an old iphone (pre iphone 4) and moved to Sweden. I want to get my photos off the phone, but no longer have any Sim card of any kind. Is there any kind of workflow or solution I can try to get them to my MacBook Pro? (My itunes says it can't read the phone without a sim). Any help would be much appreciated!!! Even if I could use my wi-fi to access the device? or blue-tooth??
I know the photos are on the phone, I can see all 915 of them. Itunes can now see the phone, but I'm afraid to update or sync with the phone as I believe it will delete the photos off my phone. I used to be able to get the photos off using Image capture, but Image capture no longer see my phone in the device list. That was my problem before I moved to sweden and chucked the sim. I used to mail the pictures to myself, but now that obviously doesn't work. I have image capture 6.1 and read on wikipedia there is a 6.2 but I can not for the life of me find it anywhere. Isn't there some app that should be able to transfer the photos over? I have iphoto and aperture, but they don't see the device either (using OS 10.6.8 on my macbook pro btw). These pictures are of my daughter, I just can't bear not getting my hands on them. Help!

My droid says that I have no sim card, what does that mean?
Hi, when I press the bottom at the too of my phone, it says that I don't have a sim card. I had the same droid a few months ago, but I had to get a new one. The old one had a sim card and this one doesn't have one. I am trying to upload pictures from my phone onto my macbook, and I do not think that I am going to be able to upload pictures on my computer without the sim card, am I right? I looked online and it said that in order to upload pictures, I have to plug the phone into my computer using a USB chord, so I used the chord that's attached to my charger because my charger consists of two parts: the chord can disconnect from the part that plugs into the wall. I really need help with this in order to do a homework assignment so please help me.
Which model of phone do you have again? I don't think the DROID X had a SIM card as it wasn’t a global phone. It does have a micro SD card plus an internal storage space for pictures, music, etc.
Connecting an android phone to a Macbook requires a few more steps. Try a search of this community for similar discussion of how to do so. I don't have an Apple product to give you any more suggestions. -
I have an iPhone 3GS and want to use it as an iPod it worked fine until I did an update, now it will not register. What do I do if I do not have the sim card?
Get a sim card. Borrow one from a friend. Ask the wireless
carrier the iPhone is locked to for a sim - it does not have
to be an active sim. -
I have an old iphone 3G that I want to use as an ipod touch. It does have a sim card in it and it has been reset. For some reason it will not pick up my wireless network in my house, or any other wireless network. What could be the problem?
Is this the problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim -
Actually, I wanted to let my son use my old iphone 3g as an ipod now that I upgraded to the iphone 4.
But it has continued to shut down and say that needed to restore it.
The last time I did it, it's now saying that I need to have a SIM card in order for it to work.
Now, I'm not wanting him to use it as a phone or for texting, so I just assumed this would work. But it's been very challenging.
Any thoughts on what I need to do so he can use it as an ipod?
Thanks!Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan

Best solution would be to give or sell it to someone in Mexico who can use it. You can do othing with it if it is locked o Mexican cell carrier.

Hi, my iphone could not be activated after upgrade it from IOS4 to IOS6, it shows that is due to activation server is unavailable and no sim card in the iphone. Anyone can help me please?
It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.
