My experience is it is AT&T's fault. When I bought mine and my wifes we 
couldn't activate them that first night. SO they told me to activate them 
as GoPhones (prepaid) and they would switch the account the next week. It 
took 2 months to get it switched. Other than that the phone is awesome. 
AT&T's coverage is comprable to Alltel's (my previous provider) these 
days. So I'm pretty happy with that part of it.
