How to activate an iPhone without a SIM card

Holding a new iPhone in your hands is not only source of pride, but also an engineering marvel. The owner will definitely want to turn the iPhone on and try it out, and according to the rules we do it with the SIM card inserted. And if you got your phone as a present but could not find an extra SIM-card? What to do, run to a nearby store or try to solve the problem without the card of the mobile operator? You can activate your phone in several ways, and all of them are available even to inexperienced users of modern gadgets.

When you receive your iPhone as a present, people are usually excited and want to turn it on right away. Lack of a card is not a reason not to activate your smartphone right away. Let’s look at three ways to turn on the “apple device” iPhone, any series of release: 5-6-7-8-X.

Options to activate the iPhone without a SIM card:

Choose the most interesting option for us and proceed to activation.

What to do if you can’t activate your iPhone.

In some cases, the activation process is quite easy, in others it requires only professional intervention. If you can not activate your iPhone, the main reasons can be only two: hardware or software. Each problem has its own solution, it is important to identify its exact source. Hardware failure can reflect, for example, modem problems, its inoperability. Finally put such a “diagnosis” and find a solution must be a specialist of the service center. Software errors are usually solved by reinstalling the system iOS.

First of all, if your iPhone requires activation, use the most universal method. hard reset it (the process depends on the model), perhaps the problem will be solved immediately after this action. It is quite common when iPhone does not activate due to lack of connection to the server, because too many users are trying to make an update immediately after its release. If the system displays exactly this message the best solution is just to wait. The second, most correct decision is to apply to the service center of our company, as solving serious problems is better to trust professionals.

There are a few more reasons that prevent iPhone activation. First, the lack of SIM-card, or its incorrect installation in the SIM tray, reinstalling this necessary element will solve the problem. Second, this procedure requires a stable signal of the network used by the selected operator, as well as the presence of an Internet connection. iPhone activation can also be blocked if the smartphone has already been linked to another iCloud account, and it has not been liquidated. Most often such a situation occurs if the smartphone has already had another owner. The problem is solved by unlocking the system, for which the owner must enter the personal ID of the previous user and his password. And finally, a fairly new, but very serious problem, the so-called “iOS 11 syndrome”. It consists in the fact that after the appearance of iOS 11, Apple has introduced control over the repair of the iPhone. If there are non-original parts in your iPhone after repair, or if they were not installed at an authorized service center, the system can lock.

So, the reasons for iPhone activation failure can be many. from simple (no internet) to quite complicated (the modem died). Some of the user can eliminate on their own, others are realistic to eliminate only in the service center. If your iPhone has a problem, do not hesitate to fix it, it is unlikely to disappear by itself.

But before the activation was only through the SIM card)))

It’s still available for tethered to the recorder iPhones.

So without internet activation is impossible or something?

I understand that you can not. It didn’t work for me, I tried it.

What is the point of this activation in general? Apple always burns napalm.

That’s why it’s Apple. With Android, everything is much easier and more convenient

And how long does it take to activate??

use Android. there is no such a headache with activation))

I am also surprised by this way of activation. This is not the 19th century we live in. it even made me laugh)

Oh, come on, enough already! It’s only a couple of minutes!

The iPhone 6 is coming out now. Will it also have a delusional activation?))

Apparently yes. And the most frustrating thing is that sellers make money on this, making activation for money (

I seem to be the only one who doesn’t understand why the phone needs activation)))

And if the phone is broken and just can’t see the network, it can still activate via computer?
