Android 7.0 how to get past Verizon activating screen with no activated sim

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone?

S7 edge

Any ideas?

When you're on that screen, what happens if you tap the Recent Apps button? If the Recent Apps list appears, try tapping the Home or Back button to see if it takes you to the homescreen, rather than back to the activation screen.

I'm going to move this from the Nougat forum to the S7 edge forum, since it's more of a device-specific question.
