/\ but remember that requires having a valid sim card (so att activated sim) or a unlocked iphone.
is it a 3g or a 2g, why r u taking it in?
only way to activate with out att is to unlock but then i don't suggest taking it to apple.

I am assuming you are asking this because you are taking a phone in without an ATT contract... otherwise iTunes will activate your phone for you. Bottom line (as Alperovich said) you need an active ATT account for Apple to give you the light of day regardless of what phone you have. If it is a legally unlocked phone and you are in the states I am not sure what Apple policy is on that...

I once prayed to God for an iPhone, but quickly found out He didn't work that way...so I stole an iPhone and prayed for His forgiveness.

att can't stop u from using a unlock phone, but sure hell they'll give u hell to help u, u don't have to let them activate to use it, just get u a cheap phone. if u just starting a contract then switch your iphone with it, or if u have att already well just put your sim in, u would have to activate it after u restore it, and itune will activate if u have a att sim, if not, just use quickpwn, btw NICE legend, love acura.
