I have an AT&T iPhone SE coming my way. AT&T is instructing me to activate the phone when I receive it. Do I have to do that? Or can I just insert the SIM from my current 5S and continue along my merry ways?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
You can do that
Unless your carrier requires you to register your device's IMEI into their system in order to provide some sort of support.
But usually, you just out the sim card in and you're good to go!
Also was told that AT&T no longer sells phones outright. You must now buy them on the NEXT program.
Not true. I bought my Apple SE outright. No new contract.
