I have a question about setting up the iphone...can someone please help?

I am thinking about purchasing an iphone...but I have heard that it is hard and is a pain to setup. I am affiliated with cingular (now at%26t)..and can someone please go through what you must do to setup your iphone with your plan and such..cause i know you cannot simply take your sim card and put it in the new phone.

Please help

Thanks

Answers:

Actually, iPhone setup for existing AT%26T customers is a breeze. I bought my iPhone about a month ago and I was really impressed with how the process works. Apple specifically designed experience to be easy -- you%26#39;ll do it in your own home, rather than waiting around in a store for the sales guy to activate it for you.

It%26#39;s like this: Update your copy of iTunes on your computer to the most recent version. Usually this is done for you automatically.

Then, you plug in your iPhone. iTunes will recognize it and start a special activation screen. You tell it your current account information and it will let you know about changes you%26#39;ll need to make to your account to accommodate iPhone.

Then it activates the phone and you%26#39;re good to go. Whole thing took me about four minutes. It%26#39;s a really slick setup. If someone in the store tries to activate it for you, politely decline and take your sealed iPhone home. This is a user-driven process and you%26#39;ll want to activate iPhone using the same iTunes install that has all your music and other fun stuff.

Also, after one month with iPhone: no buyer%26#39;s remorse. It%26#39;s an awesome device. You%26#39;re going to love yours. The guy at the AT%26T store should do it for you. If there is a setup, its probably going to be a simple one. Maybe what language you prefer, etc. GSM technology isn%26#39;t that hard. All of the phones are made so that you can pop the SIM card in and go (the plan has nothing to do with your phone, all of the information is at ATT and your SIM card just carries the info from ATT to your phone and back. Thats why its called Subscriber IDENTITY module.)
