iPhone 2g No Sim Card, Need Contacts

[Landmine]

So my girlfriend gave her old iPhone 3g to my mom who had an iPhone 2g, took them into AT&T, they swapped the sim cards and activated the iPhone 3g. But we need to access her old iPhone 2g to get her contacts and maybe text message data if possible.

However, the issue is that the iPhone 2g without the original sim, that no longer exist, is asking for activation. How can I bypass the activation to be able to gain access to her contacts saved on the iPhone 2g?

Basically any way that I can get the contacts off of her iPhone 2g with or without activating the phone would be amazing.

Thank you all so much!

If it synced contacts with your computer, go there. If it was backed up, restore the 3g with the 2g's backup. If you can't do any of those, I'm out of ideas

I'll see if she has a backup that can be restored. I'm almost certain she did not sync her contacts onto her computer.

It was probably backed up

Shameful self bump
