I am planning to let my SO SIM work on an iPhone 3GS, which I will buy from Rogers.
Can you start using iPhone right out of the box form Rogers by inserting the existing SO SIM? Or do you need to go through certain activation process prescribed by Rogers?
Any comments and advice would be welcome.

If it is a new phone it will need to be activated using the original sim first.

Thanks andrew for responding.
Even when you buy a brand-new iPhone from Rogers without any contract or plan involved, does it come with a sim card?
Also, how do you get a new iPhone activated? Need to get Rogers rep to do this or get it done by yourself at home?

It will come with a rogers SIM card. I am really not sure as to what is involved in the activation process as I bought mine used, jailbroken, and unlocked. I am quite sure that you can activate it at home through iTunes. But again, I've never done it.
On a side note, when I bought my 2G iPhone I already had my SO SIM. I tried it in two locked Rogers iPhones and neither recognized it. Started right up in my unlocked 2G though. You might want to confirm that the model you are getting will work out of the box with an SO SIM. I say this because it is quite possible that the phone you get will not be able to be unlocked.

If you read the entire "unlimited data" thread in the technical discussions, you will see numerous reports of what phones work and what doesn't.
