Do I need iTunes to activate my Iphone 4, do you only need the SIM?

Do I need iTunes and is it supposed to take a long time for the micro Sim to activate, its been a long time

Activation is done through your cellular carrier. Activation shouldn't take nearly that long. When I had my iPhone 5 activated, it took less than a minute.

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

I just deleted your other post as it was a duplicate of this one. Please do not do this since it makes it hard for other members to read and help you of there are multiple threads of the same topic present. It is also against forum rules.

Sorry, what did I say that was wrong

On my iphone4 it says "Cell phone is disabled, please connect to iTunes" and no sim card installed
This phone isnt originally mine someone gave it to me,
If I were to make an itunes account and connect this phone to it would the phone work ie would I still need a sim card because I wont need to call yet

No SIM card required to run an iPhone, you just connect with iTunes as your phone displays and activate it. After that there is no need of SIM card as you do'nt want to call. If you still want to call without SIM, you can do it by downloading and running other applications like skype.

Yes the phone will still connect to iTunes without simcard. Dont worry

Nee--again, please refrain from posting the same question in two different threads. This is against the forum rules.

I have now merged your second thread to the original one you started.
