I went from an iPhone 2G to 4S (I keep tech for a long time
).
I did a factory reset on the 2G to use it as an iPod Touch, and now it's asking to be activated. (I should have kept it as-is, I guess, and simply put it in airplane mode.)
From what I've read, if I put an active SIM in the 2G I will be able to activate it. But I'm concerned that that would change the AT&T plan of the person I'm borrowing the SIM from. I.e., will they be put on the $20/mo unlimited plan, and would need to change back to whichever plan they had before?
(I realize that resn0w can do a "hacktivate" but I don't want to go that route just yet until I know whether borrowing somebody else's activated SIM will work.)
