You probably shouldn't include your serial #'s here, we're a volunteer form.

I did look yours up and that serial does appear to be legitimate. your serial # was omitted by the mods and I removed it from my screen capture. You should contact your cellular provide and activate the device with your account from them, then setup the iPhone
