Could Not Activate Edge...

In the Chicago Area - no iPhone access or cellular modem access.

Having the same problem, down since I woke up this morning...NW Suburbs of Chicago, IL. I was just about to post about this in the "Internet and Networking" forum. Glad to see I'm not the only person having this problem.

I hope AT&T gets their act together soon.

Thanks for this info. I have been having problems all morning in suburban Chicago (and passing through downtown during my commute). It's not even intermittent - I have been totally unable to connect to any Internet services. Same error message: "Could not activate EDGE."

I can't believe they actually told you this might take almost a week to resolve!

Thanks for the update. I'm in Chicago as well and was going out of my mind trying to figure this out. Wonder if we can get some credit from AT&T?

Just got off the phone with AT&T. They confirmed they are having tower/server outage issues across the country (The manager confirmed issues in FL, IN, IL, and MO just to name a few places). They said right now it looks like it will be at least 2 hours before it will be resolved but could be as long as the end of the day.

Add Denver to the list!

yeah, seriously, i didnt know of an error message still inside of school when i can always go online on iPhone, then EDGE could not connect ?!?!?!

by the way though, thanks for the update, im so ****** that EDGE isnt working, but hopefully, the servers will be back up later on today.
thanks

Did AT&T say we're going to be compensated in some way? Thanks!

Also in Milwaukee. Many thanks for the post.

They mentioned that you could ask for a credit if you wanted, but it's pro-rated (like cable, internet, other services,etc). So since the the data package is 20 a month, the credit is
$20/31 days(jan) = $0.645 per day credit.
So if the issue is fixed by the end of the day the credit comes out to about 65 cents.

add me too!

Having the same problems in Denver.

No Edge in Denver! Might as well be in airplane mode!

my edge is down in missouri but my freind has done the soft update to 1.1.3 and his is working faster than ever?

hi there.
im from henley Mo.. just outside Jefferson City and i haven't had EDGE since this morning. I was thinking that it was probably weather. which it probably is. thanx for the info tho. ive restored my phone twice now. i hope they get this fixed. i guess you never realize how much you use this revolutionary phone until... well.... you cant.
