Additional Information

iPhone is available for purchase and activation through Apple, wireless carriers, and authorized resellers (not all options are available in all countries or locations). In most countries, the place of purchase will verify that you have an account with the carrier and then give you instructions on how to activate your iPhone (insert a valid, active SIM and connect to iTunes). Verification of carrier account is not required in countries in which unlocked iPhones are available for sale. 

Find more information on where to purchase iPhone 3G.
