Before I go any further, thank you to anyone taking the time to read this, and a very special thanks to anyone willing to share some knowledge about this with me...
Ok so I have 2 things. My old phone (TELUS locked iPhone 6) and a friend in California. My friend is in California and will be there for the next several months. She doesn't need her cellphone down there, however what she would benefit from is being able to hook up to the free wifi where she is staying. She was using a fido phone until recently, when she lost it.
My question:
Can I be of help to her by sending her my iphone6 which is currently deactivated, locked to TELUS and contains my old SIM card. Basically I want to wipe all my stuff off the phone, send it to her with a fresh iOS that she can set up with her Apple ID etc and then have online capabilities on the phone through the wifi where she is staying.
Is this going to work? Does there need to be an active TELUS SIM card in the phone?
Am I missing something from the equation to make this work?

If I recall, you can't set up the initial stages of the phone without a SIM installed. You could wipe the phone and set it up minimally for your friend with your SIM, then send it to her, for her to finish setting up.

I believe you have to have an active SIM card to activate the phone after doing a clean restore/wipe. I may be wrong on that, however.
