AT&T Activation how long is it taking?

[planetgirth]

I've been waiting about 20 minutes and wondering how long most are waiting?

Also the 6 is PERFECT for me!!

 

[DravenGSX]

The two I did were immediate. Have you rebooted the phone? Is your old phone still activated?

 

[planetgirth]

rebooting now, yes old phone still active

 

[planetgirth]

still not active. over 30 minutes.

 

[byeehaaw]

been waiting for over an hr.. maybe somethings wrong. rebooted new phone.nothing yet

 

[thoryamaha919]

I am having activation issues as well

 

[Mustangjac]

No issues for me. Took just minutes. Didn't seem to hang up at all. Sorry to hear other folks having trouble.

 

[thoryamaha919]

I just got off the phone with att and they said the system is backed up for activations

 

[mloffa]

Mine didn't activate so I just put the SIM card from my old iPhone in.

 

[Diode]

Ha - I remember on the first iPhone it took over a day to activate.

 

[chhhrrriiisss]

Mine was instant.

 

[planetgirth]

Over an hour and still nothing.

How long did you wait? I thought they were using a NANO sim instead of micro. Anyone see any problems from this?

----------

att message says to give at least 4 hours for activation.

I didn't wait long - maybe 10 minutes. I'm coming from a 5S so it uses the same nano sim. Sorry you guys have to wait coming from older devices!

I was waiting... waiting... waiting...

Then decided to try a reboot after reading this thread and PRESTO! It joined AT&T immediately.

Try resetting your network settings. Power off old phone and try and activate. Back in the days when I was at att selling we would sometimes have to do that with the older iphones.

 

[vitacura]

Wife gets home in just over an hour, we'll see how long it takes hers to activate.

4G phones don't need to be activated ! Just switch sim cards and you are cooking with gas

 

[C. Robert]

seconds

 

[thoryamaha919]

Mine just activated

Unless you are upgrading from a phone that doesn't use the nanosim or are switching providers. Then you have to activate.

It took about 5 minutes.

AT&T Activation

I was just at the Apple store and waited until mine got activated. It didn't activate for about 20 minutes. They had me try putting the old phone on airplane mode, and then restart the new phone---that seemed to fix mine and activate it right away.

 

[TAI182]

Mine was basically instant.

 

[Che Castro]

How do you activate a phone from at&t

Do you have to call?

Can you do it with iTunes wihtout calling


And can it be done over a chat on the at&t site

Took about 15 seconds
