Instructions not includedīecause calling customer-service departments ranks up there with getting a tooth filled, I went to T-Mobile's Web site. But then what? I still didn't have service. Sure, I was able to set up the iPhone, sign into my iTunes account, and restore my backup from my old phone. (For the record, if you are a T-Mo customer and do have a matching SIM card, it's probably just a matter of, well, popping it in.)

Reselling my previous iPhone would help defray the cost, and I'd be free to try T-Mo for a month or two, then take it to a less-expensive MVNO if I wanted (more on that below).īut when the new iPhone arrived, I didn't know what to do next. That was my thinking when I splurged on the no-contract iPhone 6 from T-Mobile. Read on for my tale of woe, or skip ahead to "Options for Activation," below, if you just want help getting service.
