How could one turn off the Internet connection before using the SIM the first time (to avoid costs) in a Sony Xperia X F5121?

It seems as if the mobile data (or whatever it is called) option is not shown without a SIM in the phone.
 
Airplane mode should work for that.

Edit: my bad, with airplane mode u can't access mobile data settings either.

Thank you!

With the SIM card removed, try installing an app using wifi which will allow you to turn data off...
Is there a free app without advertising to be recommended? At the moment I do not know what could be needful.

Airplane mode, yes, I would have thought it might work.
 
Many thanks for the link. Yes, there are many programs available but at the moment I do not know which one of those wifi apps I might need.

How could one find free apps without ads in Google Play? Cannot find an option to search for apps without ads.
 
You need a modem to get wifi. If you don't have a modem, go to a location which offers free wifi, then do your thing...
