By "activation" here they mean that it allows you to use the ipod (video) and wifi features without going through the AT&T process.

]]> <![CDATA[Activate Your iPhone Without Contract Using iActivator]]> Saying "Activate iPhone without contract" leads readers to believe they can get contract free service from AT&T and make calls on their iPhone. I think better wording would be "Activate iPhone features without AT&T Service." You can still have a calling plan without a contract.

(Rats. There used to be a page on the apple site showing one... a straightened paperclip. They also had an 'official' one, with a nice triangular bent handle... as well as a 'big ball of orange static' = cat. Those being missing makes this post not nearly as funny as it would have been...)

The iPhone is with ATT...ATT uses SIM cards [they are GSM]

]]> <![CDATA[Activate Your iPhone Without Contract Using iActivator]]> I don't believe the iPhone uses a SIM card...

I'd check into that if I were someone who wanted an iPhone with out the "data" plan.

]]> <![CDATA[Activate Your iPhone Without Contract Using iActivator]]> Would work perfectly for my wife. She wants an iPhone but doesn't think she'll have any need for the $20+ data plan. No need to extend her contract either. All she wants is the iPod features and a cell phone. If she wants to upgrade to a "iPhone Nano" in the future, we can always sell this off and get it (without extending her contract twice), but if not, she'll be happy with this one.

]]> <![CDATA[Activate Your iPhone Without Contract Using iActivator]]> So can this be used to unlock an iPhone and use it with an existing SIM if you are already an AT&T customer (i.e. so you don't have to commit to a new 2 year contract, and can take advantage of corporate service discounts)?

*walk into Apple Store*

*Buy iPhone*

*activate iPhone*

*go play with your new wifi iPod*

]]> <![CDATA[Activate Your iPhone Without Contract Using iActivator]]> I'm not sure why anyone would want to do this. Isn't the pricing on a non-contract line much more expensive? I wonder how long it would take the average user to spend the $175 fee you're charged if you terminate (which is bullshit by the way), in the extra per-minute fees.

I might be wrong here (wouldn't be the first time), but without a contract you don't even get free nights and weekends right? So it wouldn't take much to spend a lot more money each month... Am I wrong?
