iPhone is a dead phone till the time it gets connected to iTunes. So, for activation, the dealer will do 111, 222, connect to iTunes for hardware activation, then FRC and send ‘START (space) iPhone (space) MSISDN to 171.
This will trigger the IN and APN gets attached to the plan. Then, you can choose any of the Apple prepaid top-ups.
