How to activate an at&t iPhone 4s

[dwhynman]

I did not have an upgrade for my line but another phone on my account was due for an upgrade so I used that phone number to buy my phone. Will it be easy to activate my phone on the line I want it for or will I need to go to the at&t store. If I need to go to the store will I even be able to get help with a mob scene like they expect?

Which hoe exactly?

In the past we used other lines for upgrades and just popped in the sim we wanted and it worked.

You are right. It would be easier to read the instructions first and follow the link att sent to you to activate the iphone

I am in a similar situation. I upgraded on my wife's 3GS line. I am going to use the 4s to replace my 4.

When the phone arrives can I just put my sim in before activation? Will it affect my wife's 3GS since it is the line it was ordered on?

I don't want my wife's 3GS's sim to deactivate if I activate the 4s with my sim in it.

Any AT&T reps here with some input?

Thx

I upgrade another line on my account! As soon as my phone comes I will swap the SIMS along as you do not turn on the iPhone 4s with the new sim in it the old sim will still work!! and when you put your sim from your iPhone 4 into the 4s things will work perfect!!

I would first activate the phone as the instructions advise, and then swap SIMS.

Question about this also, I am currently on an Android device, so when my 4S comes do I have to do anything besides activate the iPhone? Like do I have to deactivate the Android?

If I activate first the my wife's 3GS sim will deactivate. Then I will have to get a new sim because the micro sim in the 4s won't fit the 3GS.
