I am getting a factory unlocked iphone with 3.13 installed on it, brand new, so its never been activated or anything..

what do i need to set up tmobile's sim card on it and have the phone activated correctly? i see posts about hacktivating it and such, but im lost on that

like what if i activate the sim card in the tmobile prepaid phone and stick that card in the iphone, will it work, or does the iphone still need some sort of activation or hacktivation on it to work?

If it is truly factory unlocked, just put the sim in, then turn it on. Done.
