well, the constant reminder of how you decided to go prepaid with the "your balance is xxxx" is annoying as hell...that needs to stop too.

Okay, it was a bad SIM card!!! :)
Back to ATT store to switch it out... update later on tonite then :)

Thanks for the updates! How in the heck did they figure that one out??? Or maybe this is just something else that they recommend when they run out of recommendations??? Please post back when you get your SIM card replaced (and also tell us how the SIM exchange process for the phone activation goes).

Edit: So what are you supposed to do? Just stroll into your local ATT store and ask for a new SIM card?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I don't know much about SIM cards, but I didn't think you could just switch a "new" one into the iPhone and have it work. You probably have to activate it again as if you just got a new phone and swap the activation with the previous SIM.

As far as my own situation, I was thinking about trying to get a new card too. But suddenly and without any intervention on my part, my EDGE access started working again! So lucky me,I guess, and I hope your situation gets fixed soon!

don't get a new sim. with any other phone in the history of the universe basically you could just swap the sim and be on your way.

the new sim sits in my iphone and i get 0 bars of service.

when i connect to my mac, it treats it like a brand new phone. i am not gonna go through an activation process to get another number and new account because i already have a number and an account. RARRRR ME SMASH!

I thought one of the options in the iTunes activation was to replace an existing phone with the new iPhone. That might do it for you. G'luck!
