Re: question about activation for a new iPhone user
I only hooked to Itunes, booting into OSX, to restore my backup because I have an old version of Netflix before they messed with it, but I'm not sure it still works because I often now don't find what I really want on there. I'm thinking about downgrading to the disks even though they're a pain to get audio out of, but most of what I want is disk only. - Original Message - From: "Christopher Chaltain" To: Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2012 1:26 PM Subject: Re: question about activation for a new iPhone user I got an iPhone a few weeks ago, and I have yet to bring up iTunes.

question about activation for a new iPhone user
Hi list, wondering if someone might be able to answer a question for me. I have a friend, she has never used an iPhone before, but she is considering getting one and has arranged to get one on trial for a week, which she can return if she doesn't like it. So my question on her behalf is, does she actually need to use itunes to register it and activate it, or could she just take the sim card from her old phone and put it in the new iPhone and use it straight away without creating an apple ID or registering the phone. She is getting the phone I think as new from a shop. Many thanks for any help, Alex. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
