Automated Activition is talking an unreasonable amount of time for some folkes, heres how to manually activate the phone yourself, with some minor help from an At&T representative.

You will need:
* The SIM number noted on your IPHONE SIM Card (You can use the pick tool which comes attached to the documentation card to remove it.)

* IMEI Number (Get this from Home Screen->Settings->General->About)

Call AT&T and tell them you would like to update your IMEI number for phone #XXX-XXX-XXXX, they will ask you for both the SIM Number and the IMEI number. Once they have updated it in the system, power cycle the iphone, and it should come back up activated.

This is exactly what the ITunes Process does, only you dont have to wait in a queue for it to happen.

Enjoy! :)
