What the actual fawk?

So I got my 6+ in the mail. Been tracking the bae for 5 painful days from Zheng Zhou, China. My husband recorded my unboxing video, and I'm super excited as I'm getting the phone set up. I go to enter my billing zip and social security digits as per AT&T policy, and it tells me that my information is incorrect!!! Yes, the same information that I used to "preorder" this damned thing at 4am EST on 9/12
Anyway, I'm in disbelief as the error message keeps popping up. Eventually, the phone locked me out and a message appeared saying that I need to contact Apple to activate my phone. Da hell?
I call Apple. They ask me questions, put me on hold, call AT&T, put me on hold again, tell me to update iTunes, hold again, escalate my claim to "engineering", then tells me that they will call back within 24hrs :rolleyes:
Anybody else experience this? I just want my damn phone to work.
