Activation

As a first step of the activation process you'll need to replace the SIM card that is in the iPhone with a new SIM card (in the case of a new phone number) or with the SIM card from your existing phone (in the case of an upgrade). To remove and replace the existing SIM card:

1. Insert the tip of a paperclip into the SIM tray slot located on the top of the iPhone near the headphone jack: press lightly to eject the SIM tray.
2. Remove the existing SIM card.
3. Take your SIM card and insert it into the tray. Make sure the clipped edge of the SIM card matches up with the appropriate side of the tray.
4. Push the SIM tray back into the phone.

Next, connect your iPhone to your computer and complete the activation using iTunes:

1. Make sure your have iTunes 7.5 or later installed. You can download it from the Apple web site.
2. Connect the iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your computer using the cable that came with the phone.
3. iTunes should launch automatically and walk you through the activation process.
   
   IMPORTANT: During the activation process you will be prompted to enter an Apple ID. You should leave this field blank and continue to the next screen. When you are prompted to create an Apple ID, you should click the bolded text to allow you to set up an ID later. You do not need an Apple ID to activate your iPhone.

Next Steps

After activating your iPhone, please see iPhone.stanford.edu for information on setting up your @stanford email and registering your iPhone for use on the Stanford wireless network. Registering the iPhone for wireless access will allow you to access email and web sites quickly while on campus.
