You can even take a friends extra upgrade and then activate the phone on your plan. all you need to do is have your mom add you as an authorized person to do so, and that takes a call to AT&T or a visit to a AT&T store!

do i do it through apples website when i enter my info for the preorder on friday? i searched google to no avail.
Doesn't matter if it's there or through the carrier.
Just make sure you have all account info (billing zip, SSN, phone number).

As soon as you put in your micro-SIM card into the 4S, it becomes your number.
also forgot to mention that my iphone 4 along with the micro sim card inside was stolen a few months ago so i dont have a sim card no more.
