already looking at that I had an apple ID at one time so I am going to have to see if that can be recovered or will I need to create a new account Also will ATT or apple assist with the creation of the ID what else might I need their assistants with? Also the phone did indeed have a card in so it was just a matter of getting it provisioned. That's done.

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.

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.
