Funnily enough, I have received iMessages, and FaceTime calls from iphone users - though my iphone has no data plan or SIM card, and I use wifi only on iPhone 4S and ipad mini. But when I try to send I get error messages, no sim! Thread reply - more options
Do you have Send as SMS turned off in the message settings? That might be be problem. You don't need a data plan to use iMessage. Settings > Messages > Send as SMS. Thread reply - more options
iMessages and facetime calls work on wifi. Cellular calls and SMS texts require cellular service. Different things have different requirements. If you try to send and and SMS you'll get that error. If you try to call using FaceTime it should work over wifi. Thread reply - more options
Yes. You have have it do everything internet related, without a SIM card. The SIM just allows phone calls/texting, to happen. I removed a former friend's SIM card, from her old 16GB iPhone 5. After I reset it and set it up, I was still able to access the internet via wi-fi (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). The SIM just gives you data to use, but you can just have it run wi-fi. Once an iPhone runs without a SIM card, i basically acts like an iTouch. The only difference between the 2 devices, is making phone calls (you can still iMessage, on an iTouch).

You can use FaceTime video or audio but you need wifi if you want to use your phone without a SIM card  Thread reply - more options An iPhone without SIM Card or Phone Number can still connect to free WiFi network and pretty much do the same things that an iPhone with an active Cell Phone plan can do. Use iPhone Without SIM Card or Phone NumberIn general, smartphones are always used with a SIM Card, which allows them to send text messages, make Phone Calls and perform other tasks using the Service Providers Network.

If you are interested in avoiding these, you might be pleased to know that it is possible to use iPhone without an active SIM Card or Phone Number. Even if iPhone lacks a SIM Card, it can still send and receive iMessages, browse internet, use Google Maps, Play Videos, Play Movies and perform other tasks using Free WiFi Network. 1. Activate iPhone Without SIM CardIf your iPhone is running iOS 11.4 and above, there is really no need for a SIM Card to activate an iPhone. Start iPhone > Slide Right > Select Language > Select Country > Select Set Up Manually > Select WiFi Network > Enter your WiFi Password > tap on OK to dismiss “No SIM Card” pop-up. After connecting to WiFi Network > tap on Continue > tap on Later > Setup Lock Screen Passcode and select Set UP As New iPhone option and follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. 2. Activate iPhone Using iTunesIf you have an older iPhone (iOS 11.3 and below), you won’t be able to complete the Setup process without inserting a SIM Card into your iPhone.

If you do not want to borrow SIM Card, you can still activate your iPhone by connecting it to Mac or computer with iTunes installed on it. Once iPhone is detected by iTunes, it will first prompt you to download the latest version of iOS and then provide the options to “Setup as New” or “Restore from Backup“.

If it is not listed, tap on Send & Receive and select Use Apple ID for iMessage option on the next screen. On the next screen, sign-in using your Apple ID and Password.
