New phone activation
I currently do not have WiFi. When I receive my new iPhone, is WiFi required in order to activate the phone and set it up?

Hi Rae202,
Thanks for your post! I see you do not currently have wifi, but want to know if you can setup your new iPhone without wifi. You can setup your iPhone without wifi, but you would need a cellular connection; i.e. an active cellular plan with an active SIM card.
Please refer to this article for setting up your iPhone:
