Hello Gerardo, Please do not continue to use a phone with a swollen battery. Doing so is extremely dangerous. I cannot stress this enough.
If you go to Google or Yelp and search for cell phone repair, depending upon where you live, you will find several local repair shops that can easily remove the battery from your phone and, in many cases, replace the battery. About a month ago, I had a swollen battery removed from one of my older phones for a cash fee of $30. A swollen phone battery, even if the screen continues to function, can explode at any moment; trust me, you do not want this to happen. When I discovered that one of my phones had a swollen battery, I placed it in a huge box and put it on my back patio, overnight, until I could get it to the shop, the next day. My point is that, no matter how much you depend upon your phone, it is not worth any injuries that could be the result of a chemically imbalanced battery that could result in an explosion. Some people think that some things are not a big deal; that is, until they are. Be smart and do the following: 1. Power down the phone, immediately. 2. Place it in a large container so that nothing can press down or fall on the phone. 3. Place the container in an isolated location. 4. Locate a professional who can safely remove the damaged battery from the phone.

Can one set up and use an iPHone 5S without a SimCard inserted in? This phone is deleted and restored to default, however the screen is so swollen that it’s sometimes difficult flicking, double-tapping and others. If I had enough money, I’d buy myself an IPOd touch at least for the purposes of multimedia consumption, and others (I’d like it to be sort of a Victor Reader Stream on Stieriods), but ‘m worried that the 5S might exlode on me! what would you guys suggest? or just leave it as a museum artifact?
