Basically as the title says.

Can i use someone elses iPhone 4 and register for a free mobile me account and then use that on my 3Gs.

Will this affect anything on their account? Is it even possible to register for more than one free mobile me account from an iphone4?

Heres how I THINK it could work:

1. iPhone 4 owner registers for his free mobile me account and does whatever necessary to get it up and running.
2. iPhone 4 owner logs out of mobile me on his phone from the settings.
3. iPhone 4 owner hands the phone to me and I create ANOTHER free account which I can the log into on my 3Gs
4. I log out of mobile me on iPhone4
5. I return iPhone 4 to owner who then logs in using his own details therefore never knowing my account info.

The only thing I can think of stopping me from doing this is if its not possible to register multiple free accounts from one device. Anyone tried this?

You are right, kind of.

All you need to do it set up a MobileMe account on your friends iPhone 4. This is found in the settings mail accounts then add new account. You might need to delete their account temporarily. Just use your apple Id (must be on iOS 4.2) that you use on your 3GS / iTunes. Once this is set up and verified, delete the account from iPhone 4 and add it to 3GS and it should now work. If you had to delete mates account. Re-add it to their phone.

Only findmy iPhone works on free MobileMe.

Hope it works for you.

I finally got round to doing this.

Worked a treat. Created the account on someone elses iphone 4. Logged in on my 3Gs then logged out of the iphone4 which was then used to create another account for someone else!

Can now log in to the mobile me site and track my phone. The fact I logged out of their iphone 4 completely means they cant see my account at all.

I did the same thing for my other half as she's on a 3GS and I'm on a 4. Worked fine
