Well, I purchased the iPhone Tuesday and started the activation process around 4PM. Here we are, Thursday morning at 6AM and still no activation. This company really screwed up big time! Even after numerous phone calls to AT&T, nothing. They tell me that there is a problem adding the iPhone bundle data package to my plan and that is the hold up.

I've just finished a 2 hour phone marathon w/AT&T and my iPhone is still not activated. What a train wreck. I'll be returning my phone to Apple tomorrow if the phone has not been activated by then. And i WILL NOT pay a re-stocking fee.
