I just got my factory unlocked iPhone 4s and do not have a micro-SIM. I went to activate it but got to a point it would not go farther without a SIM. Is it not possible to use it without a SIM, just play with Wifi etc?
Got a tip for us?

Here's a temporary solution. I do not encourage doing this however, as it is exploiting the emergency call.

one more thing,could you tell me the firmware of the iphone u just got .5.0 or 5.01 please
I don't know which firmware, but I ordered the unlocked version as soon as it became available online in the Apple Store.
I already tried cutting an old SIM and the iPhone didn't recognize it; I don't know it I just cut it poorly (it's possible, I didn't have a ruler) or if the SIM is just too old (it's about 2 years old).
Got it!
I found another old SIM and I guess I just cut it better because this time it worked--so psyched, thank you!
