Unable to join Wi-Fi network without carrier service I have an Verizon iPhone 4s and would like to use Wi-Fi until I decide on a service provider.

The phone has been reset to factory settings and sees my Wi-Fi network, but when I enter my password and hit join it says it's unable to join the network.

Updated to iOS 7.1.1
Accessing WiFi without carrier service is possible.

To do that turn ON the airplane mode.

That will disable any carrier.
