So i recently bought a used IPhone that was obviously being used by someone else. I bought it off him an the IPhones dont have Sim Cards.

How to i switch it into my name? my Phone Number?

I tried registering on ITunes an plugging the phone into my computer but it didnt do anything and displays the old phone number an information.

Ive heard i have to go to AT&T to unlock it, or Apple store? is this true? anyone done it already?

Why the hell did you not just buy the new one for $199?

iPhones do have sim cards.... its on top you need some type of small pointed tip (thumb tack) and poke it into the small hole at the top it releases a sim card tray...

i dont think that is going to give my phone my "phone number".

An the $199 is if you sign a 2 year contract, which i didnt want to do
