Is there any way that i can activate iphone 2.0.1 with out any sim
 
No, you cannot. The iPhone needs a SIM card to be activated, it cannot be used unless the phone functions are active
 
110%. The iPhone is a phone, and Apple intends for it to be used that way. The only way to have a comparable device is to buy an iPod.
 
Activate iphone 3G problem

I've the same problem.
I bought iphone 3G (activated) from ebay and I clicked restore from itune.
Suddenly, it locked.
It said "Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate iphone".

What should I do in order to activate it?
Can I use my friend SIM card (AT&T not iphone plan) to activate at AT&T?

I've no idea how to activate my iphone. I shouldn't have restored from itune, right?
 
Just download the program winpwn2.5, and jailbreake, then unlock it that way. This for windows. there is a mac version for it too, but i forgot its name.

use quickpwn and activate it. And yes, do not restore an activated phone that you did not get directly from the phone company
 
:apple:If u restore it, its not unlocked anymore, its going to be ATT only.
However u can unlock it again and its really easy, just download winpwn2.5 and read the instructions on the site ur downloading it from.
