Still Not Activated? Here is the solution! - iPhone 3G

dreamworks18 · 06-30-2007, 09:21 PM

I waited 17 hours and still no activation. Someone on here told me about this. Just take a paper clip and stick it in the small whole in the top of the iphone, and pop out the SIM card. Go to AT&T and tell them your still not activated and you want a new SIM card. Just put the new SIM card back in your iphone, place it back in the cradle and let it reconnect to iTUnes. Just start the activation process all over again, and BAM!! it will turn it on right away!

YOUR SIMCARD MAY BE DEFECTIVE!! GO GET A NEW ONE, LET ME KNOW WHO DOES IT AND IF IT WORKS FOR YOU ALSO!

I'm about to go try this, did it work for anyone else having the issue(s)?

It did for me. I had been waiting 16 hours. I am now at the airport posting from my iPhone.

Anyone buy there's from an Apple store, and do this?

We waited almost 20 hours and after calls to both AT&T and Apple, both recommended a SIM card change. We just got back and YIPPEEEE it works!!!

So what would be a normal wait time for the activation email?

That's scary that it seems so many SIM cards are screwed up. Someone's going to get a butt-whoopin.

Just make sure you don't get double billed if/when that original activation goes through.
