I ordered the phone itself on Sprint's website and set it up with Itunes on
the mac. The accessible setup from the phone by tripple clicking home at
power on does work, but if you have no Apple ID set up, could involve a fair
amount of typing on the screen. Itunes might be easier for initial setup
unless you already knew how to type on the phone fairly well. The other
thing you will have to get by going into the about page in settings is the
serial number, ESN, or whatever they call it now. Apple has its own serial
number, but you want the one that's all numbers, 8 to 11 digits or so, and
get that to Verizon on their site or however you swap phones with themm.
After that, eventually, the phone should receive a signal to become
activated, but definitely would if you shut down and restarted. As for wifi
versus cellular data, the phone should default to wifi when available and
switch to cellular when needed, as most people would want. As for podcasts
to get you started, there were a bunch on Blindcooltech.com, not of the
latest IOS, but they will get you started with the gestures, a description
of typing, etc.

Subject: new to the group and some questions
Hi all. I'm new to the group and have some questions. I'm going to be
upgrading on 5/5/12. I have some questions and will post them here.
1. I have decided to get the iphone 4s and will be ordering that on
Tuesday. First question did you get your i phone online or at the apple
store? I can go to verizon and get it but wonder if they will be more
helpful at apple and can they help with things like porting your number
over from the old phone to the new? Did you order yours online or go to
the store? if you ordered it directly from your cell provider can you set
it up independently or did you have to go to the store to get help?
2. Do you use a bluetooth keyboard with yours or just the i phone?
3. What podcasts are out there for the iphone 4s? Is there a good
resource for learning the gestures and using the flat screen?
4. How many gigs would you recommend? I don't plan to watch a lot of
movies, download videos and mainly want to use my phone for calls,
facebooking, and twitters? Maybe here or there a video but I don't plan
to go overboard. I have wifi here at home and plan to use that. When I'm
away is it easy to use your data plan if there aren't any wifi connections
available especially if i"m on a bus or something?
Thanks for answering all of my questions. I'm sure I will have more as I
go along.
