I want to buy an iphone 3gs with no contract from ebay. There is a problem i fear though. If i buy it, will it work when i take it out of the box? Do i need a sim card to make it work? Do i have to activate it? Are there any other solutions around this? I want to use it with another carrier and use it like an ipod touch. Please do tell.
But jow do i activate the iphone 3gs so i can use it?

Symbian
u have to use it with carriers that have sim cards and unlock it,
Symbian
Go into settings and turn airplane mode on and then turn the wireless back on. Then you can use it as an expensive ipod touch with a camera. (I currently do this with my old 3g).
You can unlock it to use on any carrier that uses a sim card, then you can program that carriers data settings into it. If you want to just use it around the house like I said before, leave airplane mode on and you wont ever have to activate it or anything.
