Hi so I’m looking to buy an cheap iPhone and I won’t have a Sim card for a while. I was just wondering if find my iPhone would work if I do Not have a SIM card. I heard it can work if you’re in a Wi-Fi network is that correct? And I’m planning on using this as a burner phone actually so I can change my location. is there any temporary Sim cards for burners are you guys recommend
Got a tip for us?

If you plan to use iPhone as a burner phone, my suggestion would be buying a much cheaper phone as a burner phone, unless you have some specific needs that only a smartphone like an iPhone could meet.
For your question, yes, location service works without a SIM. But it is highly inaccurate and hard to use because of the nature of the Wifi network.
