Can You Use a Brand-New Smartphone Out of the Box Without a Sim?

[My Life Is Tech]

So here's my question; if I were to buy a brand-new and unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 from Ebay, would I be able to use it right out of the box, and skip the phone activation and use it on WiFi without inserting a Sim? That way it could be used like an iPod Touch? Please reply soon, thanks.

Yes - it would basically be the same as if you bought a WiFi tablet, only smaller.

Yeah you can use it normally. Like an ipod touch. It will run all online apps from play store.
