Dummy phones are used my mall stands for service providers who dont want to deal with people stealing phones, best buy, invisibleshield (and others) to train their employees on applying the product. People like that.

I was in a cell store once and a guy was in arguing with the staff and trying to get his phone activated. He was an immigrant teenager and this was his first cellphone. He didn't understand why they refused to activate his phone and was getting upset. It turned out they couldn't activate his phone because it was a dummy unit and had no electronics inside. Someone had stolen a display model and sold it to him, saying something like they couldn't show it working to him since it needed to be activated first. Kind of felt bad for the guy.
I wonder if they sell dummy, dummy phones so that the dummy phones won't get stolen...
