Bought an iphone 6 for a gift, but can't figure out how to activate it.

Help!  I bought my daughter a new iphone for Christmas to replace her 4s.  The 4S is still connected to our carrier (AT&T.)
They told me at Best Buy, I would be able to activate the phone from home, but I can't find any information on how to do it.
AT&T's website only seems to help if you ordered the phone from them.  I paid in full for the phone in order to surprise her for a gift, because I knew if they activated it there, her old phone would stop working.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi CMoe
Well, you do have a little bit of an issue - to activate the phone you need a carrier and a number for it to work as a phone else it is an iPod
Ergo - you have to transfer the number of your child's phone to the new phone
With AT&T you should be able to just get the SIM card out - cut it to the size of Nano SIM and pop it into the new phone and the connection will work
Now of course if your child has pictures, music and contacts - they will need to be transferred over.
Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from…
So there are your options - please let us know how you would like to proceed and if you need any help along the way
(Activating the phone is merely a question of plugging it into iTunes and walking through the process as long as you have a viable internet connection that should be no problem)
