Hey guys, my GF just bought a iPhone 3GS thingy and we got it home, synced it with iTunes, registered it etc and it wont make calls or texts? Is there normally a delay before you can actually use the bastid thing?

She's geting annoyed Laughing

it needs to be activated, leave it turned on with the sim in and it will text the o2 servers and activate itself, you'll then get a confirmation message.

Think she's with Orange?

Will it be the same procedure do you think? and will it text automatically? Sorry for the questions, you know what women are like.

It will be Orange as O2 sort the registration out in the shop before you leave.

Orange have been VERY slow at setting it up as well. It can take 72 hours.

Just noticed . . . 8GB on contract? Are Orange not selling the 3GS iPhone as they are only in 16 and 32GB?
