So I took the plunge and had a 3g s delivered in the mail to me yesterday. Its been 24 hours so far, no activation and they deactivated my 3g already. This could take up to another 24 hours Anyone else phone less and waiting?

 

Nope, did mine almost instantly in the store.

 

um did you call att customer service and activate it? that does help you know

 

Called a few hours ago, they were no help. They basically told me to wait it out and there was nothing they could do.

 

Gotta love AT&T.

 

I got my 3Gs delivered on Friday also & set it up on Friday night. The setup process told me that it could take up to 48 hours to activate. My 3G deactivated later that evening, but by Saturday morning, the new phone still did not activate. I did a hard reset on the new phone and when it restarted, it activated within a few seconds.

Hope this works for you too.

 

Got mine activated instantly at the store.... Love this thing

 

I ended up calling them again yesterday and complained. They were able to manually activate it for me. I think it was worth the wait, I'm pretty happy.

 

can't be worse than sprint...except for prices...

 

ATT is sending out 30 dollar itunes gift cards to people that had to wait a long time to activate. Be sure to check your e-mail
