Okay so this is my situation right now. I am planning on buying an iphone 4g from the apple store in person without any contract. When I buy it, will the phone be activated by the salesperson or do I have to activate it myself? If I have to activate it myself will a micro sim card, will that be provided for me upon purchase? I currently do not have any at&t plan. Basically what I'm planning is buy an iphone 4g without contract, then buy a basic at&t plan [minutes and texting only] and then use my iphone 4g. I'll be using a program to block data from being sent/recieve. Is my only chance of getting my hands on a micro sim card by cutting up a regular sim card?
