    A friend passed me an old iPhone a while back, when my Android phone died.

    I couldn't set it up to use _at all_ without giving Apple my credit card number. No, sorry, not doing that. It's still sat in a cupboard unused. I bought another cheap Android instead.
    If you are so paranoid with your data, you should seriously reconsider your choice of mobile OS. Android/Google are by far much more "careless" with it than Apple. But I'm not going into Android vs. iOS debate, it never ends well and the thread is already sidetracked as it is.

    I'm not "paranoid". I just don't see why it's even needed just to set a phone up - not unless and until I'm going to buy an app or similar (never paid for one yet), and I'll give it then.

    You can set one up without a credit card, at least nowadays- this video has info plus there are many descriptions on the web.
    However lets get back on topic.
