I may be wrong--someone chime in if so, please--but I thought you could use any AT&T sim to get through activation. In other words, if you have an old one you could use that, or borrow a friend's, or buy a cheap pay as you go sim. I know some jailbreak tools also offer hacktivation--I think sn0wbreeze does, for example--but I've never used them. That might be worth some Googling.
