I have an iPhone 3GS which is updated to the 4.3.5 iOS.

Although this is an iPhone I have only used it to download apps and use it as WiFi. I did not have a SIM card inside of it before and it did work fine. My friend who previously used the iPhone gave me it with no SIM and it was jail broken.

After I reset the iPhone though the settings on the phone it tells me
"No SIM card installed. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone.

I do not have a SIM card.

What can I do to activate the phone to just use it for WiFi and download apps (basically using the iPhone as an iPod Touch)


I am using a Windows OS.

*Sorry if there has been threads about this before.
Thanks for your help.
