Can activation be completed in an area without AT&T Network?

[aosman]

Hello everyone,
Quick question:
I live where AT&T (ex. cingular) does not have a network in the vicinity. I am an AT&T subscriber, can I still activate my iPhone without a AT&T network connection and an internet connection alone?

Thanks

May i ask why you got the phone if it isn't in your area?

I have always been a cingular customer, I roam here, i still have not got the iPhone though but I am planning to do so soon. Does anyone know?

Thanks

You get a msg on the iPhone when it activates... if you had a laptop i would just bring it to a friends house who gets AT&T and activate it there.

Oh ok, so basically you need AT&T network to activate it

sucks

Thanks though
