Activating iPhone

Before you can use any of iPhone’s features, you must activate iPhone by signing up for an AT&T service plan and registering iPhone with the network. If you already have an AT&T (Cingular) wireless account, you can choose to upgrade your account to work with iPhone, or you can keep using your old phone and add a new line for iPhone.
(Some accounts may not be upgradable.) You can transfer your current phone number
to iPhone, or get a new one.

iPhone, go to:

To activate iPhone:
1 Download and install iTunes 7.3 (or later) from www.itunes.com.
2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the dock and cable that
came with iPhone. (Don’t connect iPhone to the USB port on your keyboard—it does
not have enough power.) iTunes opens automatically.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to activate iPhone and sync iPhone with
your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and bookmarks on your computer.
A single checkmark in “Set Up Your iPhone” syncs all these items automatically. Or you can use iTunes to customize the information you sync, and to sync your music, photos, podcasts, TV shows, and movies to iPhone. See the following section.
Important:
AT&T will send you a welcome text message a few minutes after activation
is complete, letting you know that you can receive calls. If you are migrating your
current phone number to iPhone, activation is usually completed in less than 20
minutes, but it may take several hours depending on your previous carrier.
