Until you activate your iPhone VPN

Until you activate your iPhone, you can't do much more than admire its lovely form. Fortunately, unlike with other mobile phones, you needn't stand in line and fill out paperwork with your mobile provider or in an Apple Store to get the thing working. You can do it all from your computer.What You'll needIn order to activate and sync your phone, you'll need a copy of iTunes 9.2 or later for iOS 4. It's not included in the iPhone box, so if you don't have a copy, go to and download it. In addition, your Mac should be running OS X 10.5.8 or later; on a PC, you'll need Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3). Your computer must also have a USB 2.0 port. If you're switching your phone service from another carrier, you'll need your account information (and phone number, if you want to port it) to complete the process. You'll also need your Apple ID and password. If you've ever purchased anything from the iTunes Store, you should already have one. If not, you'll need a credit card to sign up for one. Don't worry, your credit card won't be charged as part of the activation process.Sign Up for a PlanTo start the activation process, plug your iPhone into your computer's USB 2.0 port with the included connector cable. Apple suggests using the USB port on the computer rather than one on your keyboard, as the keyboard's port doesn't provide enough power (the iPhone uses the USB port not only to transfer data, but also to charge the battery).iTunes should launch automatically after you plug in your new device.                     Select the iPhone (it should be under Devices in iTunes) if it doesn't pop up automatically, and you'll see a list of the steps you'll need to take to activate the phone with your cellular provider: set up/verify an iTunes Store account; and put contacts, music, and more on your iPhone (see "Let's Get Started").
