Just check to see if somebody has a SIM you can use for 5 minutes, the iPhone 4 uses a Micro SIM. You could also check to see if you can get an adapter to use your current Nano SIM, but you will have to put a SIM into this phone until you have it activated, once that is done you can take it out and it will work fine.

Just to make things clear, I want to setup the phone and use it like Ipod or Ipad. I mean I would like to be able to check FB, Twitter, play games, listen to music, browse internet etc. I do not need to make phone cals, text messages..., so I believe a sim card is not needed in this case. But no matter wat I do, it says it needs a valid sim card to activate the phone. When I plug the phone to my laptop and launch ITunes, it says something like: "This connected device does not have a valid sim card. Enter a valid sim card.". I pressed "Home" button and I got emergency cal option; once I hit "Cancel" button, the screen saying I need a valid simcard appears again. I hope it makes sense now. Thank you very much for your help in advance. Have a wonderful weekend. With kind regards, Maria On 24. 3. 2017 23:17, Marie wrote: > Yes I have an old IPhone 4 which I have set up the same.
