To activate an iPhone does it need to have a SIM?

Does an iphone need a SIM card to activate it when you first turn it on? If so does the SIM need to be activated or no?

Becuase I know when you first turn on the iPhone it won't activate without a SIM card I'm just wondering if the SIM needs to activated or not



thanks a whole bunch! :)

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.6

If memory serves, the iPhone just requires a SIM to be present; it does not need to be active.
