Do I have to activate my sim in my iPhone 4 before I can use Wi-Fi?
I've just got an iPhone 4 and haven't got a microsim yet. I want to play around on it but when i unlock the screen it says 'insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iPhone' and i can only make emergency calls. Is it supposed to be like that?
Yes, you will need a valid sim card in the phone before you can use it. Sorry
- What's the reason why you have to have a SIM card to activate an iPhone? What if I want to use my phone after my plan gets canceled. Is that legal without a sim? And is it legal to use someone's sim to activate it if my phone software brakes. But what's the reason that you need one to get into the iPhone? That doesn't seem right at all to not allow someone to get into an iPhone that has one.
- My iPhone 5 says I need a sim card to activate, and I have Verizon I was trying to restore my phone and in the process of doing that it now is asking for me to insert a sim card. I have Verizon and we don't require sim cards. What is my next step? Also, my phone has not yet been activated. This requiring of the sim card is keeping me from activating it.
- Locked iPhone and need sim card to use because I restarted it but i don't have the specific sim I need. Please i'm desperate? Ok so my aunt got me an iPhone from Canada but its sim locked and it says I need to insert a sim card for it to work. The problem is i don't have a sim from that specific company that locked it and the only thing I can do is emergency calls and all that. I can't even use it as an iTouch or something.
- I miss times before 2013 when life was easier and you didn't need to have an iPhone with 100's of apps to use to be considered ''normal''? I feel like i'm becoming programmed everytime I use an iphone. This world is so stupid. Its like technology has advanced but not people.
