Welcome to Android Central! Is it actually searching for cell service because you don't currently have signal? It's a system message, so I doubt you can get rid of it (unless you root the phone, perhaps). If you use the phone without a SIM card, then I suggest turning on Airplane Mode, which should get rid of that message. You can then turn wi-fi back on while in Airplane Mode.
