How to open my iphone past the insert valid sim without a sim card?

First generation iphone, i want to use it as an ipod… Don't know much about it but i only want to use it as an ipod, my boyfriend got a droid x and we got past the insert valid sim page by touching the four corners… Is there anything like that for the iphone? Maybe someone has a link to a youtube video or step by step instructions? It has been restored so its competely empty… I don't have a sim to put in it and i don't think i need one cause i don't want to activate the phone part… Just want music pics and games lol

You can't

Jailbreak it.

  • SIM Not Valid for iphone 4s? I bought an unlocked iphone 4s off of ebay (software is up to date). I bought a straight talk sim card, put the sim card in, and went through the activation process- but it still gives me the message "SIM Not Valid - please insert a compatible sim card" the description of the phone on ebay specified that the phone s unlocked and compatible with any GSM carrier PS i found a verizon sim card when i opened the phone…
