Like most of you I waited until after midnight last week hoping I'd get a pre order for my Iphone 5 and to my luck my order was placed at 12:04 and got my early upgrade iPhone. I received my new toy Friday morning.

I tried to activate at my parents house over cellular network and after about 5 hours in and two stops to att I decided to go to apple. Apple told me that the phones sim was DOA and that they could return my phone and sell me a new one. Then we ran into an issue that only allows iphones that are ordered online to be returned online. The girl helping me tried to return to a gift card and still no dice.

Then the att rep in the apple store suggested they reset my upgrade date for an early upgrade and sell me a second phone. After a 15 minute call the apple rep was able to sell me a second 32gb iphone 5 at the 549$ price tag. Do you think i'll have any issues with the first phone if i get a new sim?
