Can I set up my dads old 5s for myself without having to go to AT&T?

My 5s died yesterday (rip), and my dad has a spare or two laying around. I dont see why I wouldn't be able to set it up as my phone as he is using it as an iPod only at this point, just making sure. I would also think it wound be as simple as hooking up to iTunes and that's it.



ETA I'd hang up and listen, but ........

If it's from the same carrier, it shouldn't be a problem but you need to switch Sims of course. I might be wrong though..

Switching SIM cards and plugging into iTunes didn't work. I'm sure I fricked something up, but not sure what.


Switched then switched again and now it seems to be working. We shall see.
