So my phone's touch screen is messed up, and I need to get a replacement from Apple.
I know my warranty is fine and there is no water damage or drop damage or anything, so I know I can get a new one, but the problem is that I never actually activated it using iTunes the "real" way.
I've talked to Apple already, they can get me a new phone next week, but when I go to check on my warranty status on the Apple site, it tells me that my phone has not yet been activated... because I just used T-Mobile from day one
So my question is if anyone knows a surefire way to get my phone "officially" activated, serial number in the system, so I can get a replacement phone?
I was thinking that I could just get someone's AT&T sim card and put it in my phone and set it up as a new phone but not a new AT&T account, therefore activating my phone for use with that sim card, and then I can just take it out, take it to the store, tell them my SIM is in another phone to use for the time being, and get a new 1st gen. iPhone?
I just need some feedback and/or ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Oh, and I'm not a Noob here, please refrain from stupid comments, I'm just looking for some ideas from fellow users who've replaced their phone with Apple Warranty
