Iphone 4s 5.1.1 activate without original SIM?

I have a friend and he is from France( I'm from Greece)! He just gave me an iphone 4S because he bought a new one! I took it and i updated to 5.1.1 iOS( From Itunes ) but now i can't activate it because it needs the original SIM! IS there any way to activate it?
Thank's in advance!

However I think I know the answer, you need to bring the phone to your carrier and they have to put a new SIM on it for you. I believe you have to bring it back to the same carrier it was purchased at (not the original store of course).So if your friend bought the phone from AT&T you have to bring it to an AT&T store which means you need to have a contract with them, or sign up for a new one. You might be able to bring it to any carrier though, I'm not sure but you can try.

  • How to activate iPhone 1 without SIM card? How do you activate an IPhone 1 (2G) that has no SIM card? I already restored it using iTunes but iTunes can't keep going because the iPhone says it needs an SIM card. Please include as many links and names as you can please. Also I don't prefer video links, they are all unclear. Thank you very much! Keep in mind that I don't have an SIM card.
