Is there any way to bypass activation on iPhone 5?

[Defender2010]

The iPhone from apple comes pre installed and my company ordered from both AT&T and Verizon and they were pre installed as well

Well. I am glad our carriers don't open boxes to install SIMS here in the uk. I still doubt the SIM is in the iPhone straight out of a "factory sealed" box!

we "indian" get iphone 5 from our relatives from abroad and then break it to use it on any sim...

Next time get the iPod Touch. Basically the same phone, half price, does no longer work with (who ever invented such a dumb thing) phone numbers, so finally voip/videocalls with username and status only, and no sims to worry about.

Okay I'm growing pretty impatient here - My iPhone 5 is sitting here at my desk and looking at me every single day!

Just to confirm with you guys - if I can't get passed the activation screen will an official iTunes unlock help at all? Will it get passed the screen?

This is the service I'm looking at: http://www.officialiphoneunlock.co.uk

They should be able to unlock T-Mobile UK when they return online
