Hi guys, I had not been able to active my iPhone or use it since my account on AT&T was a business account and they don't accept them. I had to wait until monday for the business support to open and change my account to individual and I am still waiting for activation. Unfortunately this is the short version of what really happened in the last 3 days, since I was transfered from one support person to the next about 20 times spending 2-3 hours on hold everyday.
My question is this - did it happened to anyone else? Please let me know how to solve this fast. I don't want to spend another 3 days waiting on hold for the AT&T people, I want to know which department I need and what to tell them to activate my iPhone account.
Any information will be highly appreciated, I am desperate.

- Thanx ViewFinder, I have talked to AT&T customer service yesterday after I read your solution and they said it will be activated tomorrow(monday)... hopefully that will be the end of it, I am tired of waiting...
I had a similar problem (I'm an "old ATT Wireless" customer) that was solved by customer service after a long wait and two transfers. ATT greatly underestimated the initial demand for iPhone, particularly the "transition" customers. If you just signed up for a new account it took minutes; older accounts took days.
The iPhone SIM card was activated quickly once a customer service person got on the line (they told me how to put the SIM in my old phone to get service), but the iPhone didn't get activated for a couple of days.
I have an ipod that is about a year old. Everytime I connect it to my computer it wants to install...

I have an ipod that is about a year old. Everytime I connect it to my computer it wants to install the latest version for my iphone. When it starts the process is looks like it is working with the file transfer bar but then when that is done it gives a message...'iphone is backing up' and then just hangs. We have tried this on several computers and it does the same things. We can unplug the iphone and it works fine but we cant get any of the updates and new programs,
