Right I have been following your saga, my comments were about your expectations on the qualify of the refurb.
Do you have a new SIM that you are using in a temp phone? Have you dropped your iPhone data plan?
If not and you are just doing without a phone until your new "refurb" arrives, you can activate the new SIM Online or by calling Customer Care. Your new "refurb" will arrive with a new SIM ready to be activated.
