iPhone 8 not activating...

[Theophil1971]

Got the iPhone 8 today (delivered to home), and am going through the new iOS 11 automatic setup routine. The new phone seems to be stuck on the Activation page... displaying my phone number, but not progressing through to any further steps. Any ideas or tips?

Thanks!

I had to retry a few times but was prompted to do so. If you're stuck you could reboot the phone. Hold down the power button.

Thanks. Yep, I clicked Home and tried again. Said the activation servers were down. Tried again a few mins later and its all good.
Appreciate the quick help!!
