I purchased an iphone 4 from a friend, i called the carrier and they have unlocked it for me but the phone still needs to be activated as i have restored it. Can i activate the iphone through itunes by using a different carriers sim card?

will my iphone activate through itunes once the carrier unlock has been registered with apple? currently it says i have an unsupported sim installed, but i was told it can take between 5 and 72 hours for the carrier unlock is done.
please help!

So are you saying that when the carrier unlock is processed i will then be able to activate my phone with a different sim?

And have you waited that long? If not, then that's why it's not done yet.
