entering the rabbit hole..assistance for making an iPhone 4 work

its locked to att, no i dont have the original sim and yes i'm trying to make it work on tmobile.
so it looks like there's all kinds of 'gotchas'. anyone have an easy solution to simply make the phone 'activate' for tombile?
do i just install iTunes on my PC and redsnow?? or is it just some kind of SAM plugin for iTunes or what?
i've read and reread teh hacktivate and jailbreak sites but i'm not inclined to start installing a bunch of stuff on my PC until i'm sure i'm only installing what i need.
facts: phone starts up without sim and says 'need sim to continue'.
i put a sim in and it says 'wrong carrier'.
i just want to get past the 'welcome' screen on this stupid thing.
i don't even know what IMEI # the phone has or what version of the OS its running.

As was posted in the last thread, the IMEI # is stamped on the back of the phone.
ETA: Also, ATT should unlock it for you if it is no longer under contract.

I have an Iphone 4, and it completely sucks. Don't waste your time with it.

The IMEI isn't printed on the SIM card tray?

Is this your weekly "I think I'm so smart but say really dumb things over and over regardless of how many people try to help me figure out my issue" thread?

Buy the correct phone for the correct carrier then you have zero issues with it working or not.

Didn't you start this thread like a week ago or was that someone else? Anyways, just sell it on CL and then buy an iphone that works on t-mobile from someone else. The net cost to you should be $0.
