Answer by bestcihan
you cant use the iphone with cingular, because it is locked! you need to get an unlocked iphone if you want to use it under carriers other than AT&T
What do you think? Answer below!
yes it will work…CINGULAR AND AT&T ARE THE SAME COMPANY!!! they wont care how you got it, just go to the store and say that you want to activate it, if they ask how you got it, just tell them…..oh and btw DO NOT jailbreak it…more headache then its worth, i jailbroke it yesterday in like 20 minutes, but it took 3 hours to restore it, and i needed to use a different computer to restore it
I’ve got myself a 3G iPhone at this site, also bought a nice case for it there…Take a look, it might get you an answer.

you cant. listen, i have bought the iphone 3g right when it came out, so i am not kidding. once they are deactivated, they might as well go in the trash or to be recycled. btw, its att&t, not cingular.
