IPhone 4 without SIM card iTunes?
I'm buying an iPhone 4 from my friend because he got a new phone. I don't believe it has a SIM card in it. I've read on the Apple discussions that I can just use the iPhone like an iPod Touch without a SIM card, but I also read that I have to have a SIM card to update it through iTunes or something? Is this just to activate it for the first time? If I format the iPhone, will I have to have a SIM card in it to activate it again, but still without a service plan? And I do realize that some of you will just tell me to buy an iPod Touch if I want an iPod Touch, but this iPhone is only $100 and I don't have to wait for shipping or anything, and I like the iPhone 4 design much more than the iPod's. Any help is very much appreciated!
By the way I don't have an AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint SIM card. I have T-Mobile, which I don't know that works with the iPhone if T-Mobile bought AT&T or whatever I don't know.
You need to have a sim card in the device rather its an active or inactive sim card.
- Will I be able to transfer my contract from a regular Sim card to a Micro Sim card? I want to buy an iPhone 4S on T-mobile, but my current T-mobile sim card is a regular one that would not fit in to the iPhone 4S. Would I be able to somehow move my contract on to the new Micro Sim?

- Changing from normal sim card to iPhone 4 sim card? I'm an AT&T customer with a smart phone. I'm wanting to buy an iPhone 4 but I know they take smaller sim cards than normal phones. If I buy an iPhone from an individual, can I take it to AT&T and have them give me a smaller sim card & transfer my information? Would I have to pay extra for it? Is it even possible?
- Can you use an old sim card in a new iPhone after transferring the info to a new sim card? I'm borrowing an iPhone from a friend, but it requires a sim card. He transferred all his information to a new sim card in a different phone. Can I use the old sim card on a different iPhone?
