cracking an old iPhone

I have an old iPhone that I'd like to use as an alarm clock (hell, I might as well get some use out of the $600 I spent on the thing!).

However, the time is not correct on it. If I connect it to itunes, it will synch, realize that the SIM card is no longer valid, and lock up on me.

What is the easiest way to 'jailbreak' it, so I can use it freely.

Thanks.

well, the problem I am having is that neither of my old phones is activated.

all I get is the screen with the USB plug & iTunes logo on the screen, with the option to make an emergency calls only.

of coarse I can't activate it, because I have an active iphone account.

it's a tough one.

That's odd. I can plug my original iPhone into iTunes and it doesn't lock up on me.
