Haven't had a problem yet.

Be patient on the activation. Millions of people are trying to activate there i5 right now which is slowing it down a little.

I had to call to activate mine with AT&T

It was annoying because I had to have them transfer the phone to a different line (used a different user's upgrade) and it took about 20 minutes.

But yeah. When I powered it up it tried to activate under the other number before I turned it off. Came with SIM inside.

Rumor is that the Lightning cable has an Apple authentication chip within the cable.

Oh boy....be leery of buying any aftermarket lighting products right now.

^Negatory on that. Friend bought a i5 cable online through Amazon (some cheap brand for 15$) and he got it today as well and it works fine so far.

That sucks for you guys that you had to call. I have AT&T and activated via 4G.

So I am trying to sell my girls 16GB clean ESN 4S and some person had the audacity to argue with me that the phone, even in mint condition, is worth less than a $100 and tried to argue with me about it. People these days

Hell, companies like Gazelle are offering over double for that. Even amazon.com has offered my $212 and maybe $250 for mine.
