Just recently purchased a second hang iphone, and I look forward to it's arrival. My question relies to activation.

I want to know if their is a way that I can use the phone without activating it and setting up a new 2 year contract? I am currently an ATT customer, and we are able to get new phones in december becuase our contracts renews in january.

Would I be able to just add the data plan without the re-newal of my contract? So then in december I can look to get a new phone at a discounted price? Would this require some sort of jailbrake?
 
dont have to jailbreak, just have to activate

but i guess if you're going to activate it, might as well do the whole lot (activate/jailbreak/unlock)

search the forum, many guides on how to do it...
 
now when I activate the phone will it require me to sign a new 2 year contract? I was not to clear about this when reading through the information on att's website.
