So basically i had a Iphone 4 but i heard u could not activate it using a phonebook sim...But this is what i did...
I bought a Dits 3 in 1 phonebook sim card the one that the guy used in his vide on on youtube.... I got it cut perfectly from someone in my area ...Then i plugged it into the Iphone 4 and plugged it into itunes and voila! it was activated.The rest is history
So basically just get any phonebook sim, get it cut(preferably), and put it in and plug it in itunes
P.S i tried cutting mine before this one and used it on my iphone, it detected it but it never activated the iphone itself so basically i wasted 15 bucks so unless you can CUT PERFECTLY, get it cut by someone
