Yes, as an iPod ... you won't be able to make calls or text. (well... with iMessage and WiFi, I guess you can still text.)

(Oh... you'll need to put the sim back in it whenever you want to update iOS ... it needs it for the validation part during the upgrade process for some reason.)

doh! ... I completely missed the "find" in the first post! ... sorry!

That said... I don't know the answer .... IF it works without the sim though, it WOULD need to be on a WiFi network when you go looking for it.
I know it doesn't work if there's no network connection at all, but I don't know if it requires cellular, or if WiFi is good enough.
