Its cuz AT&T online website sucks and you can active your current phone (not your new 3G) if you're a current AT&T customer then it borks up and locks up and tells you to contact customer service. Then you call customer service and get the run around b/c they're using the site.

And apple's server side is bombarded by millions of new iphone users registering by itunes.

AT&T people:

Get your Iphone. Charge it for 3 hours. DO NOT, Don't throw away the box like Miryiam did, and take out the trash on trash day. No and No.

Call the handy activation number (800 no). Give them the serials and 411 they ask. At most, activation takes an hour. Boom and Zoom. You're good 2 go. g2g.

The problem is if your old phone broke and yall thought the intronet activation was hunky dory like mine . . . you have to vulch a phone from someone.

Attempted to activate my phone yesterday, was able to get iTunes, WiFi, etc setup, but no voice service! It simply says “No Service” – it’s been about 18 hours thus far and my other phone from which I’m upgrading from has now been taken offline. Frustrating!

While taking, my new 3Gs has just gone black and cut off my conversation. Also when I go to delete my call, screen goes black and I can’ t get the phone to come back on for a few minutes. Since no one else has reported this problem, I guess I will have to take it to the Genius Bar.

Agreed with DMan and anyone else who has said it. While we blame the third parties for not keeping up with Apple, I think it’s partly Apple’s responsibility to keep its partners at its side. Just like a racing team…it does no one any good of one car wins by 5 laps, while the rest of the team comes in last place.

Oh one other thing!

I’m tired of hearing people ***** about att and apple! Apple sold 1 million iPhones during the wknd and to activate all during the wknd is alot to handle. What phone provider is ready to handle 1 million activations? This is the first time something this big has happened so give them a break.

And this is coming from someone who was affected till this morning
