Hello,
I have an old phone (Samsung Galaxy GTS 5360) that I want to give to my son but without a SIM card. He will use it to take pictures, listen to music, and play games. Finally, if I can manage to install games on it! I can't connect to Google; it says the page is unavailable.
Help me, what should I do?

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Scarface, I think you might be overdoing it a bit ^^
    The phone can very well be used on a home network via wifi. There are no constraints regarding that. You just need to create a Google account (or use an existing one).
    If you can't connect to Google, it's probably because you don't have a network. So you need to configure the wifi.

      Before, you would turn on a phone without a SIM => "Insert SIM" you can just dial 112 in case of emergency ^^

      But that... was before... ;))
      No, more seriously, an Android smartphone without a SIM card can serve very well as a multimedia interface. Only the mobile network access part won't work. But by using Wi-Fi, we can largely bypass this limitation ^^
