Is there anyway to activate a iphone without a sim?

My sister got her boyfriend a iphone 5, they broke up and my sister gave me the phone. I was just going to use it as a ipod, so i threw out the sim card. I reset it today and now it won't let me get past activation. Its running ios 6.1.4 and my sister lives 100 miles away so i can't just use her sim.

The iPhone 5 can't be hacktivated, due to it's CPU architecture and IOS version, so the only way to use it is just through a glitch, or just normal activation.
