I went into my local ATT store to pick up my new 3G phone. I put it on my wife's account so I could get it and pwnage it for my work phone(work will not pay for it). I did not have her phone with me at activation. They told me no prob..they would keep her Sim active in her previous phone (Iphone 4GB).
For ***** and giggles, I put my sim in the new phone to see what would happen. IT WORKS WITHOUT PWNAGE!!!!. They activated it at the store without an active sim!. I am not sure it will work with T-Mobile, but for my usage, it is perfect! No visual VM, but everything else works. Any ideas?
 
thats why it came with the sim card ejector.

I'm going to have to expand on that and say it came with a tray and not a built-in SIM card because Apple had always planned to open up the iPhone to other providers.

Why else would the provider names (T-Mobile, Centennial, etc.) be stored in the software already?
