I bought this device yesterday, I would like to say I’m not very good at English neither on old phones. I just thought it was a very cool tech product but when I turned on for the first time it said something like put a SIM card, so I did, I grabbed mine and it worked. I put my pin and then, nothing, it just let me make emergency calls. I read that 2g is not available on Europe and that may be the cause but I called myself and I received the call. I really want to avoid jailbreak and that kind of stuff just to keep it as original as I can. I may be wrong, maybe there’s no other way but I would prefer keep like that.

other than jailbreaking it, there will be no way of getting it to work.
Install and open iTunes in your computer, plugin iPhone to your computer, then activate the iPhone with your computer’s iTunes.
She gone
You can see what it says? In the first years of the iPhone, you had to activate it with a PC/Mac with iTunes.
What’s an iPhone 2g? Never hear of it before
Assuming the original iPhone? There was only one model before the 3G.
The first ever iPhone released in 2007 that only supported 2G signals
The 2G name was only given after Apple released the iPhone 3G and the 3GS
The 2G name was never official
I still have my 3gs in my store cant sell it. Its history
I had an original iPhone 1 4 gig model. One sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars recently, unused in the sealed box.
If I’d just left that box sealed and could have looked into the future a litlte, I could have been a solid 5 years closer to retirement right now.
Like unopened because if so, you can sell that for a whole lotta money
I am pretty sure that phone is too old and won’t activate. Hope you didn’t pay to much
Even if activation servers were down, any iPhone from the 4 and under can easily be hacktivated offline fully untethered. And A5 devices can too if you use the arduino checkm8 exploit. But regardless, activation servers are still up and running and have been so for 16 years.
wow this brings back memories
Not all of them good. But yeah, memories.
Just do Notruf and I’m sure it will work
Notruf = Emergency call
Judging from the carrier name showing while the phone isn’t activated,you’ll need to jailbreak+hacktivate the phone in order to get inside
Yeah, that’s what I thought, but I decided I’m not going to do it now.
I feel like we’re all being baited with this post. Is it for real?
Sorry, I don’t understand very well. What do you mean being baited? Yes it’s real.
I tried to connect to iTunes but failed because of the SIM card. I’m pretty sure it’s due to the operator. On the box, it says O2, so I assume it is SIM locked. After looking on the Apple page, I found that my device has never been activated. I found that really weird and I’m not sure if it’s better or not. Meanwhile, I’m keeping on looking into this and I won’t do any kind of jailbreak.
