Do I have to plug in a new iPhone to a computer before I can use it?
I'm getting an iPhone 5 this week, but I heard that you have to plug it into a computer to sync it with an iTunes account before you can use. My computer recently broke, so what can I do? Someone said that you don't have to plug it in to a computer because of iCloud, is this true?
You could go to the shop you Baught it from and they could activate it for you? If not find a friend or family member with a computer and activate it.
No not true. I work for AT&T and with iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 they activate over the air and DO NOT need to be plugged into a computer to use it. Only older iPhones did.
If you want to restore contacts, pictures, apps, music, etc. Then yes, you would have to sync with iTunes. However, it is automatically set as a new device (never had/used iTunes). The phone is still usable tho.
However, if you brought an iPhone 1, or 2 I think, then yes, iTunes has to b used to activate the phone(s)
If you want to make a new iTunes account, you don't have to plug it in on the computer. If you are making a new iTunes account but want to set up the icloud, you will need to do that on your PC or laptop.

Which one? Or can I just use it right away?
