I’ve got the iPhone and it’s not iWorking yet
Well I hurriedly unpacked the iPhone, plugged it in, got to the activation page on iTunes………….
Then I realised that I had to have a sodding US social security number to register and activate the device. Typical.
I’ve done a bit of research. I’m not sure if I can be arsed to TurboSim it. I’ve seen quite a few services pupporting to have iPhone unlock services available soon. I might avail myself of them.
Meantime I am going to stare at the inert device on my desk a little more, then get something to eat.
go get an iBurger.

I may have an answer for you. I can’t guarantee it will work but I was told by the ATT iPhone rep it would. Email me and I will explain it to you.

Posted by SE Fanboy on August 22nd, 2007 at 11:10 pm.Ooooo is it working yet?
There are thousands of mobile tech people doing the equivalent of the excited wee wee dance waiting for news!
Ewan, it’s nearly bed time, and the folks of Mobileland want to know what’s happening or there’ll be much tossing and turning in wonder and worry tonight
Posted by Loulou on August 22nd, 2007 at 11:21 pm.I got it working! But only on my Windows machine… I shall bring it tomorrow to the Unlimited Drinks event though!
Posted by Ewan on August 22nd, 2007 at 11:38 pm.You can use 999-99-9999 as your social security #, it will trigger a credit check failure then you will be prompted to choose the pre-paid option. Hope you get your iphone working. Give us an update.
Posted by donsnyc on August 23rd, 2007 at 12:34 am.Did the 999 work?
Posted by Jeb on August 23rd, 2007 at 12:36 am.And i’ll bring my iphone along - we can be iphone buddies!
