Can I restore iPhone without SIM card?

Hi! So my iPhone 6s is without sim card and can I restore it to iOS 9.2 without sim card. I am not currently going to do it but if I want to can I wipe all data and set it up as a new device through iTunes without having to insert SIM card to activate it. Because the first time I set it up it required SIM card to activate and I didn't have one so a friend just gave me his just to activate it but now it's set up it won't require it again right? I'm asking because I am thinking of enrolling it on the beta softw program cause the new betas are pretty awesome and just in case I need to resto it afterwards.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2

Oh yeah if I need to restore I definitely will but currently I am on 9.2 official and even if I decide to go on 9.3 beta publ beca the features are amazing I don't think I I will need to restore because although Apple says it's beta software and you may have issues they make the betas so good that I actually sometimes forget I am on beta.;)

And I will pro get a new nano sim for my iPhone soon. Thanks for your info guys! Now I won't be surprised if I need to restore from beta.
