I would try to get ahold of AT&T perhaps. The Mrs. just activated hers and it took under a minute.
Got mine 4 hours ago still cant make or receive calls. On the phone with ATT and they can't figure it out...

Call and do it again. All I did was turn off my 6 waited a munute and turned it back on and DONE!
Same here, started process at 10am when I got it, everything appeared OK, but can't make or receive calls, or access voicemail.
Going on 5 hours now.

Sounds exactly like me. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
FYI I just got off the phone with ATT. They had me confirm IMEI #, reset network settings, reboot phone, etc. Nothing worked. Rep offered to call me back later and said "it's probably because our network is busy today".
Not happy.

So if I have an iPhone 5S I can just take the sim out, slap it in the iPhone 6 and that's it? What happens when you plug it in to the computer? No activation?
Mine was pretty much instant. I called the activation number, confirmed the phone number, rebooted, and all was good.

I just chatted with ATT customer service and they were able to activate the phone. The ATT agent said something about the IMEI/ICCID numbers on my new phone not matching what they had in their system and corrected it on their side.
The phone activated after a restart and the agent tested call, text, and voicemail. Voicemail took a few minutes to start working after activation.

My iPhone 5 was deactivated during the shipping of my 6+, because somehow the 6+ SIM got activated and I had to get a new SIM a couple of day ago from AT&T. And as expected when I turned on the 6+ it never got service. I just swapped my SIM from my 5 and I was good to go.

I gave up waiting 2 hours and called their automatic activation number. Took less than a minute and just rebooted the phone. Boom.
if I take my sim out of my iphone 5 and put it in my iphone 6 can I use the sim that came in my iphone 6 to put back in my iphone 5 and activate that sim on another line?
Tried to activate around 1:30 EST. Been waiting and decided to reboot phone. Works fine on startup. AT&T iPhone 6. Still never received confirmation email from at&t that iPhone was activated.
