So I just got an email saying "Congratulations, AT&T has successfully activated your iPhone service.If you have not done so already, please connect your iPhone to your computer now to complete this activation (or click here if your iPhone is already connected)." Ok So i was already connected and the old message that says "Your activation requires additional time to complete" Its been over 24 hours now and i am about to go insane. I really wish it would just work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im calling AT&T right now.

Same deal here. I can make calls, send SMS, etc., but cannot receive. Personally, I'm blaming Verizon for purposefully dragging its feet about transferring numbers in a timely fashion.

No. But when I got my email I still had that same old message so I yanked the phone out of the dock and shut down itunes and redocked the phone. I then got a new message saying activation was complete.

The problem is att's servers and the other carriers not transferring numbers quickly.
