Hi

I m new in america and as everyone likes iphone i bought an iphone 3gs over ebay and i was using it as ipod touch.i cant use it as iphone

1. I dont have a credit history so noone gives me a contract.

2. i cant afford 70$ right now.

 

because of the firmware upgrade. my cell phone is not activated anymore..i dont have the original sim from the original buyer or whatever i didnt even knew i needed to have a sim to use it as an ipod. The other person from whom i bought say he dont have a sim either he lost it ..

 

My only question which is very simple.( and i read all the forums abt it. and got contradicting info)

 

 How can i use my iphone 3gs 32gb new firmware to activate and use it as an ipod touch.

I dont have an att sim, i dont think i can get one coz i dont havee credit history.

 

Can i use att sim from someone else to just activate it? atleast i can use it as an ipod. and i was using it tht way till i upgraded.

please someone with real knowledge or probably att employee help me out..

i also heard i can just go to att and they ll activate it for free even if i dont wanna buy att plan? is this true? please guide me.

just wanna use it as an ipod
