Activating your original iPhone in France

What You Need to Get Started

To activate and use original iPhone in France, you need:

• A valid Orange SIM
• An Internet connection
• An existing French iTunes Store account or a new French iTunes Store account (major credit card may be required)
• iTunes 7.5 or later, available at www.itunes.com. Apple recommends using the latest version.
• A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:
  • Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later
  • Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later (32-bit only)
  • Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition (32-bit only)

Before activating

• Check Voicemail
  

  Before you activate your original iPhone, make sure you listen to your current voicemails. If you are an existing Orange customer, activation will delete your existing voicemails. If you are transferring an existing number from another wireless operator, existing voice mails will not be transferred.

  If you have a question about Orange's network or plans for iPhone, contact Orange.

  For any other question about iPhone, contact Apple.

• If you are transferring your existing mobile number from another provider, you will need a PAC (Port Authorisation Code) from your existing provider. For additional information, contact your existing provider or Orange Customer Service.

  Tip: You can forward the number you are porting to your temporary number, so you won't miss any calls while you are waiting for the port to complete.
