How to activate an unlocked iPhone?

Unlike most carrier locked phones, you generally don’t have to activate an unlocked iPhone. Just power off and put in your new SIM card. After installing the new SIM card, you can power on your device. After booting up, it may take 30 seconds or so for your iPhone to connect to your wireless network.
