Ok, so i found my moms old iPhone 3g and was going to use it for music, games, etc. I have no intention on making calls or texting. So without knowing about resetting phones, I hit the the "Erase all Content and Settings" button, thinking that it would erase all apps and personal info. I just wanted to get it to factory reset so that it would be like new. Now the iPhone shows a "No SIM card installed" icon. Followed by a message saying "Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone". I tried to slide the unlock bar to unlock it and it brings me to a dial pad that will only allow me to call "Emergency" numbers. All I want to do is get to the home screen so that I can use this iPhone for music.
If there's anyone out there that could help me with this little dilemma, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S. I'm not looking to buy a new SIM card or get service on this iPhone.
