Can I activate an iPhone with a non working SIM Card?
I have an old iPhone that will be shipped off to another country soon, an iPhone 5 to be exact. Currently it is locked onto AT&T. It hasn't been used since I upgraded my phone months ago and has been reset to factory default settings and disactivated. In order for it to be activated and then unlocked for use in the country I am sending it to, a SIM card must be inserted to complete the initial activation process. I still have the Nano SIM I used when it was my everyday phone, but it no longer works since the upgrade. Will this disactivated SIM card still activate my old iPhone? I don't want to try it until I'm sure as I am not the best with phones and I've heard stories of people permanently locking their phones during the activation process.

What is R-SIM Unlock for iPhone?
The R-Sim unlock method is get the phone to work on any GSM carrier that uses a sim card. It is in the sim card slot that you put your sim card in. The card works fine, however if you update your phone (and iPhones do update quite a lot, I'm a user) there is a chance the unlock will reset and not work. However, if you do plan to use GSM carriers, I suggest buy an unlocking service on ebay which are quick and simple plus cheap and it's permanent.
How do I unlock my iPhone without a SIM card?
You don't need an active SIM card to activate an iPhone; any SIM card that matches the carrier that an iPhone is locked to will work, or if the iPhone is unlocked, any SIM card should do. You will need to activate the iPhone via a USB connection to iTunes in this case which will processes the activation via your computer over the Internet, and in this case neither iTunes nor iOS cares about whether the SIM card is active.So, knowing this, if you can find an old SIM card laying around, or borrow somebody else's old SIM card, try sticking it in your iPhone and going through the activation process. It will either work or it won't (usually if the iPhone is locked and the SIM doesn't match), but you won't damage your iPhone or hurt anything by trying.Even if you find an old full-sized SIM card, you can cut it down to micro-SIM size to insert into your iPhone. If it's a dead SIM card anyway, you've got nothing to lose by trying this either, and instructions and templates for doing this can be easily found online.If you really can't get your hands on any SIM card whatsoever, your only other option is to resort to jailbreaking tools that will effectively bypass the activation process, colloquially known as "hactivating" an iPhone. A wide variety of information and tutorials for doing this can be found online, particularly if you search for "hactivate iPhone" so there's not much point in going into them in detail here.
Simple Mobile on a Sprint locked Iphone 5?
I am using a R-Sim 9 on a locked Sprint Iphone 5. My carrier is Simple mobile. I just activated a phone, cut my sim card to fit etc... I can send/receive calls as well as receive texts. However, I cannot send texts, get online (other than wifi), or reach my voicemail. Is there something I am missing? It seems weird to have service but only have certain things work
