Suppose one was to buy an iPhone for an out of AT&T area (T-Mobile area), how does one go about activation and then use T-Mobile?

I understand that you cannot activate the iPhone if you don't have a "valid" address so how do you do that.

Do you have to activate first and then play the sim game or do you play the sim game and then it lets you activate?

I also understand that the only thing you lose by doing this is the visual voice mail thing - is that correct?

Any guidance? :eek:
