I'm planning on ordering on Apple.com. If I order online for delivery, how do I activate? Will I need a sim card from my Line 3 that I want to buy the phone for? Or can I activate without a sim, then use my line 1 sim to use.

I'm planning on doing what many are doing and buying subsidized on the extra line (line 3 in my case), then cancelling the data plan and using the 3GS on my line 1 (then sell my old 3G)

Line 1 3G (mid contract)
Line 2 3G (mid contract)
Line 3 cheapie phone (no contract) - buy 3GS subsidized then cancel data.


Problem for me is that line 3's phone (mom) lives far away and I don't have access to her sim card.

Thanks in advance!
