I think Ray should install iTunes on his computer then give AT&T tech
support a phone call. This will prevent any negative feelings during this
introductory stage of iPhone ownership. There are so many options and steps
necessary to setup an iDevice that it can quickly get overwhelming and
incredibly frustrating.

You will not get service until an activated SIM card is installed. That
said, you will most likely need to activate the iPhone before you get
coverage, even if a SIM card is installed. The iPhone can either be
activated using a computer and iTunes, or during the set-up process on the
phone. I do not know if you need Wifi for the activation process as I have
always used iTunes, or had it activated at the carrier store. I find it
quicker and easier to use iTunes as I am also able to restore my back-up on
to the new iPhone at the same time. Besides, the process is much quicker on
the computer compared with using iCloud on the iPhone for restoration.

It is hard to say. Mine said no service until it was configured even
though it did not need a SIMM.
Not being familiar with GSM usage I feel unqualified to answer this one.
Anyone else know what is going on?

there was not one of those diddle sticks in the box either. The phone
reports no service which does not mean no sim or does it?

When you look at it be aware that on the 5 the SIMM card tray is very very
flush with the edge of the phone. In fact, on mine I can not feel it at
all.
The way it is ejected is by sticking a paper clip end or something small
like that into the very small hole next to the tray and pressing it firmly
inward. I do mean firmly too. I was afraid I was going to damage my
phone it took so much pressure.
Once you do this the tray will pop out and the card will be held there if
it is in the phone.
Good luck and have fun.
