Apple iPhone 6s plus SIM free every option most memory latest OS and Applecare it arrived today. I have absolutely no need for voice or cellular. A;; I want is a smaller sized iPad. When I attempt to activate it i get a SIM required message.  I was using a iPhone 4 without a sim but it has been destroyed.. I   use Tracfone for voice and used 48 minutes in the last twelve years and do not want to waste money on cell. How do I use this without a sim?

    You need a sim card installed in the phone in order to activate it or restore it...no way around that fact. So, beg, borrow or purchase a sim card if you want to activate the phone. You can remove the sim once the phone is activated.

    SIM Card is a necessary thing to Activate an iPhone so get a SIM Card that is not necessary to be that a SIM with a Working Plan you can use a No Service SIM to Activate iPhone also

    Thanks. I was able to order a Free SIM from tmob for an IPad and a month of free connectivity So when it gets here I Hope it works. if not I will borrow a Sim.  My old iPhone 4 didn't require a sim But I destroyed it when I left it on the bumper of my truck and backed over it.

    thanks again.
