Can You Use an iPhone Without a SIM Card?
Hey guys! I have this old iPhone 6 and I was wondering if I could still use it without a SIM card. I think it could be a cool iPod touch replacement. Has anyone tried this before? Does it require a SIM card to set up or run apps? Any tips on how to make the most of it as a Wi-Fi-only device?
If you have an old iPhone without a SIM card, you can also use it in several situations:
Wi-Fi-Only Device: You can turn it into a Wi-Fi-only device for browsing, apps, and media consumption. Perfect for home use or as a dedicated music player.
Emergency Calls: Even without a SIM card, you can still make emergency calls. It's a safety feature.
Apps and Games: Most apps and games work over Wi-Fi, but you won't get cellular data for some functionalities.
