I had this problem last night. I finally turned off my old phone completely and restarted the new phone. Activated almost immediately.

Did you visit the AT&T activation web page and go through the process there, prior to plugging the phone into iTunes. My girlfriend plugged hers in first, and then when to the site. It took forever to activate hers. I went to the site first, activated the number with the new SIM and then plugged the phone in. It took seconds to activate.

Where do you do this?
the ATT guy just told me to take it home, plug it into itunes and follow the directions on itunes.

Same here. I activated mine online and then plugged into iTunes and it activated as soon as I plugged it in.

Depending on where you ordered it. If you ordered it from Apple then yes you plug it in. If you ordered it from AT&T, there are some different steps. In fact, yesterday I had to call them in order to get it activated because their online thing was taking forever. That's my advice to you. Call them and you're phone will be up and running in minutes.

Are you sure you're not touching the bottom left antenna?

O2

I plugged my iphone into itunes and it is still saying waiting for activation. I used to microsim that O2 sent me. I have now applied for the sims to be swapped via their website.

Am i going to have to wait for the sims to swap before its activated? I have left it on wifi so hopefully it will activate over that?

Any help appreciated.
