setting up an iPhone 4S without a Sim Card.
Dear all, I am trying to set up an iPhone 4S. The first time I ran it via Itunes, I asked iTunes to set up the phone as a new iphone and not to restore my iPhone 5S backup to it. However, it seems I did something wrong and my backup was restored to the iPhone 4S. Then, I erased all media and settings from it. Then, when I try to set it up again using iTunes, I receive the message that I have to insert a sim card in order to activate it. Is there any way whereby I can set up the phone, or even restore my 5S backup to it without the hassel of inserting a sim card into it? Thank you.

Hi, No. A nonworking sim card will do for the activation. On 05/12/2014 08:28, Ahmed Khater wrote: Dear all, I am trying to set up an iPhone 4S.

RE: setting up an iPhone 4S without a Sim Card.
I am sorry I didn't understand what you say. I don't want to insert a Sim card because I don't have the little pin which is used for the sim card insertion process.

RE: setting up an iPhone 4S without a Sim Card.
Hi Arnold, What Christopher was saying is that you can't activate an iPhone without a SIm in the SIM tray. However, the SIM does not have to be working, even an old inactive SIM will do, but a SIM has to be in the phone. You don't need the SIM tool, you can use a paperclip and bend it open or a push Pin or safety pin will also work. All you need is something to push into the hole to pop out the tray, but anything like the above will do.
