Ok so I bought an iphone 2g on ebay. A couple of questions. Read the other thread about the unsuccessful attempts.

1. From the other thread I gather when I 1st connect to itunes, I have to reset the phone as 'new', correct.

2. Should I not put the sim in til after I reset it or do I reset it with the new sim card in the phone.

Anything else I should know.

Thanks
Carol
 
As far as I know you do need to restore the phone. That's what I did and what everyone else has said. Restore the phone then put the sim in. If you put it in before it may activate on it's own.

Thanks for the info.
