Aug 12, 2016 6:41 PM in response to math2by Michael Black,Go to an AT&T store and get one. The original iPhone was only available on AT&T and if that device is still locked to AT&T (which it almost certainly is I'd imagine) you will need an AT&T SIM to activate it.

Aug 12, 2016 6:45 PM in response to Michael Blackby math2,Hi Michael,
I did try an AT&T store, and they did not have any due to them being so old. I'll try another AT&T store this weekend. I have an iPhone 5S, so I was just going to use this as an iPod. From what I understand I just need a Sim card in it, it's not going to be activated to use as a phone.
Thank you,
Joyce

Aug 13, 2016 6:11 AM in response to math2by Michael Black,★HelpfulYes, you just need a SIM for a minute or two to activate it with Apple so you can use iTunes and App stores. You could borrow a SIM from someone with an iPhone, iPhone 3 or 3Gs just long enough to activate it, then give the SIM back.
Once activated you can use it as you intend without a SIM (but would need one again if you ever restore it for any reason).

Aug 13, 2016 6:13 AM in response to Michael Blackby math2,Thank you. I was unaware that I only needed the SIM temporary. Now I can use the one from my other original iPhone. To think, I had the solution sitting here all along!!! Thank you again!
