Okay so basically what happened was that my mom ordered an iphone just for me, but she made a mistake of changing the phone number of the phone from mine to hers. So now on the shipping confirmation it says- With the following plan: her number. How would I go about changing this to my number now?
Thank you.🙂

Activate it under your number with your SIM card. Easy as pie. The SIM dictates whos number is on the device, as long as you use a SIM with your number you are ok.
 
Just go to an AT&T store if you have issues. They can fix it. Though you may want to wait a day or so...
 
you might have to call at&t because it is a microsim for the iphone 4....shouldnt but much of a hassle though
 
You could also just take your current SIM and cut it to micro-SIM size with the micro-SIM delivered with the iPhone as a template. You can then go get a few new SIMs at AT&T once everything dies down. They might charge you $6 or so, but I'd gladly pay a few bucks to avoid waiting on the phone for an hour.
