iPhone X - AT&T activation time

[ZipZap]

Still spinning. Argh!!! I lost track of time, but it’s been spinning for over an hour.

Just got my iPhone 11.

Things will probably get a lot better when people get home from work and try to jam the sever further.

I am now getting a new error when I try to activate after having left the phone alone for a bit - "Activation session expired." I had to reboot the phone to try again, only to get nowhere fast again

 

[kelemor88]

Don't hold your breath - they didn't offer me anything but a follow-up phone call.

well if more people would hold their breath maybe this would go faster

 

[LasersGoPewPew]

This is so annoying. I'm about to put the phone back in the box and try again tomorrow.

Is there anything different they do? If so I may run up there.

 

[Newtons Apple]

I would be pissed! I guess there is always tomorrow.

Well, after an hour on the phone with Apple and 3 hours with the phone, they have come to the conclusion the phone is bricked. The AT&T error was a symptom. They are sending me to sales to get me a new phone, waiting on a timeline as to when that will happen. FML.

Too many other having the same problem so yours is not bricked.

Finally worked!!!!! After 3.5 hours of trying I was able to activate it and set everything up! (I have AT&T). Hopefully it starts to work for everyone else. Good Luck!

 

[JWreck]

Hey it’s like I bought my series 3 Apple Watch all over again!

 

[kelemor88]

No they all run on the same servers so other then wasting gas and having someone to stare at angrily

 

[jensgt]

[JWreck]

No they all run on the same servers so other then wasting gas and having someone to stare ate angrily

Did that’s last time I had activation issues with my watch. They were not pleased.

Did you do anything special, or did it just work after your 100th "Try Again"?
Congrats btw.

[Damstr]

So nobody has been able to activate in the last couple hours it sounds like?

Doesn’t sound like it.

 

[huskernation]

Maybe they will fix things if they get lines of people returning phones.
