Android Central Question

I was wondering if i needed to buy a sim card to activate a prepaid smartphone. These smartphones are like the ones you get at kroger or target, like a tracphone or a simplemobile. I just want to use the phone for wifi. Will the phone get stuck at the activation screen like iphones or will i be able to immediately use without sim?
 
Welcome to Android Central! It may depend on the phone -- if you do a web search for a particular prepaid phone, someone might have already tested it for you. Is there a specific one you had in mind?
