Cannot add Twitter or Google account without a SIM

Hello all,

I haven't been able to add neither a Twitter nor a Google account to my Jolla. The phone is updated to the latest Sailfish OS revision (1.0.1.12).

When trying to add a Twitter account, I get to the terms of service, accept them by swiping left, the phone displays the rolling circle, and then I get thrown back to the accounts page. I assume this would be the point where I would have to complete the oauth process.

Similarly, for the Google account, after accepting the terms of service, I get a blank page with no way to progress except skipping (and going back to the accounts page).

Internet connection is working fine, but I have no SIM card yet. I've come across a similar problem report on another forum, and apparently that used seems to have had no problems after installing a SIM card.

Is a SIM card necessary to handle these accounts? (Is this possibly related to how Presence is handled?)

UPDATE: apparently the SIM card is not necessary. I was able to add both a Twitter and a Google account by accessing the account management page not from the system settings but from the Gallery (it provides an option to add/edit your accounts for sharing photos). Still inexplicable why it wouldn't work from the System Settings route though.
