    Default Just bought Used IPhone, Advice on "registering it"

    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?

    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...

    ^ troof. Wow, the dumbass left his SIM in the phone? Run up his minutes and then slap him across the forehead.

    oh, and ZiPhone ftw when it comes to jailbreaking and unlocking.
