newbie activation question

[rk164]

I have just ordered a new iphone 4 on a new contract.

Having never owned an iphone before, I wanted to know how the activation process works. I know I need to install iTunes, do I need an iTunes account in order to activate the phone, is one created as part of the activation or can the activation be done with an iTunes account?

Thanks in advance

Call 1-877-800-3701 to activate the iPhone 4 manually with AT&T. It might take awhile to get assistance, but it works...

They'll be prepared to sign you up for a data plan as well...
