Use unlocked iPhone 5 without SIM?

[JoRddZeCkO]

Hello, Well I Pre Ordered the unlocked iPhone 5 (unlocked was the only option on the UK Apple Store)
but... The network I want to stay with wont be getting the nano SIM for a while.

I was wondering when I receive the iPhone on the 21st will I be able to just turn it on and use it on Wifi with out calls/text ect until My network has the nano SIM available.

Thank You.

It would be exactly like having an iPod Touch.

Speaking of which, I also need a nano-SIM, as the one they're shipping is for a different number. I just hope that AT&T will have them in the store on launch day.

Thank You for the reply's Yes this is how I wanted to use it until I'm able to get a nano sim.

I am also in the UK and have pre-ordered too without a nano SIM. I am on o2, what's your network?

can't you just cut your current sim down to nano sim size?

Maybe, but read this.

hmmmmm very interesting..

Altho i like the guy who said hes cutting it then just sanding down the extra thickness... i think ill try that... if i fail ill just go get one from att lol

I'm on the giffgaff network which shares the o2 signal but is a lot cheaper but they're really slow when it comes to getting with the times lol. Do o2 have a tariff that would be good for the iPhone 5? I'm looking for at least 700+MB 200+Minutes unlimited-Text's a month.

I've been practicing cutting down SIM's to nano and I cant do it I keep sanding to much off the back haha!

I saw a video showing how to do it, but they used a caliper and weren't able to test it. Since I have a couple of microSIMs maybe I'll try cutting one down.
