I really can't believe I did this, but when I activated my phone, I put in my business address. I then asked for a port from Verizon. Trouble was Verizon has a different address listed for me. This address issue put my account on hold, and thus all I ever saw was the "AT&T NEEDS MORE TIME" screen.

I finally got the girl at AT&T to cancel the account and I was able to re-activate.

It took me 30 phone calls to figure this out.

This was my own stupid mistake. In my excitement I didn't think.

I am posting this just n case one of you did the same thing, and need a solution.
 
Yes, you MUST use the same zip code that you got you number from.

That is if you lived in Cupertino and got a local area code (555) but later moved to LA and KEPT the same number you need to use the Cupertino zip code since that is where the number originated from.
