I searched for the threads and read what apple has to say about it on the apple site. I have done a reset "erase all content and settings"

for kicks I connected it to my computer and it showed my phone number. I did not do a restore from backup or anything like that. it then said something like "waiting for activation"

is that normal? is DFU restore the solution?

should I take the sim card out before selling it? will they have any problems when they are trying to activate it? I read that, they'll need a NEW sim card if they wish to activate it with at&t or they have to unlock it.

I am just trying to avoid any problems and be informed, in the event that the buyer starts asking me questions. Also to avoid any potential problems with my at&t account.
 
Take your SIM card out. If they're going with AT&T, they can pop theirs in or walk into any store and get one for free; if they're going with another carrier, they don't need an AT&T SIM.

Either way, yours is linked to your account, so don't give it away. 😉
