On an iPod FaceTime and iMessage work as expected over Wifi. Last time I tried to use an iPhone without a sim card they didn't work. Is that still the case? If so, is it a technical limitation or an intentional one?

Yeah I posted about it above and people said it works fine. I wonder if it depends on who you original carrier was or something? I'm going to try again!

I think carrier-locked devices may want a SIM to boot upon first install of the OS, though you can remove it later on.
