- In order to achieve the task of activation, there are 2 essential things required; an internet connection and iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes which can be downloaded from Apple's official website.
- When these things are ready, the next step is to unbox the iPhone. For the same, take out your SIM card out of its packaging and while doing so take precautions that you don't damage the card.
- The next step in the process is to eject the SIM tray on your iPhone. There is a small utility pin available for this purpose which comes with your iPhone itself. Insert the pin in the provided hole outside the SIM tray and eject it. Once done with that, insert the SIM card in the tray and push it inside. Now, you are ready to activate your iPhone over the internet.
- Connect the USB end of the data cable that comes with the phone to the computer or Mac you are using and the other end in the slot present in your iPhone. Allow the iTunes software to detect the iPhone.
- Once iTunes has detected the phone, it displays two options on the screen; to set up a new iPhone or to restore from the backup of your previous iPhone.
- If you previously had an iPhone with you, just click on the restore option and press 'continue' and then select 'sync'. The time required for synchronization depends on the amount of data you had in the previous iPhone. If the data is large, it can take anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes for the synchronization process to get completed. So just sit back and wait!
- If you have newly bought an iPhone 4 for yourself and it is your first, select the 'Set up a new iPhone' option and click 'Continue'. The activation screen will show you the terms and conditions page which is supposed to be agreed by you. Next, it will ask you to enter the Apple ID and password which is required for purchasing music on the iTunes store. If you do now have an ID, create your account and enter the data in order to proceed further. Then it will ask you to enter some personal information and billing details which should be saved by you. With this, the activation of your iPhone 4 is complete and the phone will automatically restart for further configuration.
