mm.. seeking for helps

i just bought an iphone today, from UK.
i can't login into my iphone and use it, anyone could help with it?

mm.. i plugged cable into my pc and use iTunes to open my phone it ask for

activation for AT & T? what is that? do it require me to pay extra money for it? or?

anyone cuold help? i am totally new =(

thanks

lol.. newbie detected... i'll englighten u a bit..iphone is designed to only allow at&t signal which is the official service provider. IF u want to be able to receive our malaysia service providers signal (maxis,celcom,digi), u will need to unlock ur iphone through the use of turboSIM or ppl that have the necessary skills to unlock it.. however.. unlocking the iphone is illegal as it is a breach of copyright.

iPhone from UK? AT&T Activation?
Yeah i subscribe for AT&T in UK. u must be joking!

i got iphone from UK. lol. and its on o2. ("-___- ) Are you sure its from UK?

yup, iPhone is marketed to be tied on contract with the supposed telco. For US users they need to tie up with contract with AT&T for a subscription period with a suitable package plan. For UK they need to tie up with O2 network for 18 months. So you don't really own that product. Instead you're purchasing a contract device to be used on the supposed telco until the subscription period is over. and yes, after that u really own that iPhone.

ok if u still don't get the idea on how the activation works, watch the video of it here:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/gettingstarted/activation.html

ok, that's all for the introduction side of the activation. now for the other side. you can actually activate the phone without a subscription. yup, this is illegal. Do it at your own risk. For bypassing the lock and knowing what's more to come, just browse through :

yeah, the infos are really juicy. but if u need things straight on step by step, u can refer to:

yeah it's great to be another iPhone user. iPhone rocks!

Great joke newbie!

You realy need help my fren. How much you pay fer it? Didn't do some reading before purchasing it eh?

Welcum !!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another typical case of not thinking/researching before spending money n something totally alien.... Just get aneip or someone to solve the whole problem for you for a fee, problem solved. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out yourself if you're not very technical-fluent, else this thread will hit another 5 pages on it's own....
