So I bought myself an iPhone 5S, and my sim card wont be in the mail before next week.
I want to use it before that time and now I need a sim card to unlock and use it.
I don't have anyone with that small sim card, so I can't borrow one of someone either.
I doubt there's any ways of doing this, but some advice would be appreciated.

It's not locked to a spesific carrier/service, I bought it of the apple store so I can use what I want.
But it's the first time turning it on, and I need to put a sim card in it to continue.

Edit: If I go back to the apple store, do you think they will activate it for me?

You're out of luck man, it's impossible to bypass the activation screen without a sim card. Do you have a specific carrier? If you intend on buying a sim card, the 5s uses a nano-sim card.

Yeah, I've ordered a nano sim card, but I wont get it before next week. So I'll go to back to the store and try getting some help activating it there.
