I have an iPhone 5S with a broken SIM card slot. I would like to reinstall it for my little son, so he can use it as an iPod.
The problem is that I'm blocked at installation because the device can not be activated (SIM slot is broken).
Is there a way to bypass this activation or to activate the device some other way?
I really don't want to spend money to repair this device.
Thank in advance for your answers!

There is no way to do so.
