Taken from renegade site...

renegade

To access to the menu in your phone without having a SIM card inside do the following:

type **04*0000*0000*0000#

When display say "Wrong Pin" press 'NO' and you have access to all if not most menus.

Note: if you try this on your phone, the phone may stop responding and you will have to take your battery out to turn the phone on again.

Good luck.

Sorry if I got anyones hopes up then ! I have never tried this one but renegades info usually seems pretty good.

The only thing I can think of for wanting to get into an old phone without a sim would be to get bookmarks/ringtones off it maybe ?

you could put the SIM in the old phone, and transfer all the data u need to a program on your computer via IR, BT or data cable. FMA will probobly work best. then put SIM in new phone, and transfer it all back to the new phone.
but there HAS to be a way to get into a phone without a SIM... maybe noone just knows how yet
Its good to be back!

Go to any phone shop and ask for a dummy sim. All phone shops keep one. That should help.
