That depends on your perspective. The iPhone can use the cellular interface without a SIM card (the canonical example of this is the emergency call feature) but that doesn’t help you as a third-party developer, where the only access to the cellular interface is via networking APIs, and WWAN most definitely does not work without a SIM card.

Well whether he got his question answered I don't know. However, I would like to know if there's a way to use the iPhone antenna as a private communication network.

basically, I would like to send a signal even though it's not registered to any cellular interface.

There is not. The only API-level access that third-party developers have to the cellular interface is via TCP/IP, and WWAN requires a SIM.
