Could Not Activate Edge...

To my fellow iPhone brethren... I just got off the phone with AT&T and this has striclty to do with their servers... not an Apple issue.

Worst case scenario... the problem will be fixed by Feb. 5th but they suspect it will be handled before the days end.

Just thought I'd pass along the message because if your like me... you need your wireless data as much as your morning coffee.

MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.1), 30GB Video iPod; 8GB iPhone

Same issue here in Columbus, OH add another one to the list. What's up with AT&T and their supposed most "reliable" data network.

I am located in Pittsburgh and my iPhone has been activated for 2 days and I am going in and out of internet and e-mail coverage. Anyone else having problems here or could it be some setting problem on my phone?

EDGE not working here in Iowa either...

Thanks for the info!

ATT, as of this morning is, is reporting NATIONWIDE edge outages. Some pockets of the country might have okay service, while the majority today will not. Once it is back up you will know.

Just wanted to add my EDGE experience today...
My WeatherChecker...er, I mean, my iPhone still cannot activate the EDGE network. It is now 1:30 pm CST and I am in Chicago, IL. I WILL be asking AT&T for my $0.64 a day!

I've been freaking out all morning... At least I'm not the only one having the issue. I'm glad it's not my phone.
Thanks to all for the info.

Very interesting.

We had the same problem in the UK a couple of weeks age - all of a sudden edge went down just about everywhere. It came back over about 12 hours.

Certain areas may be up and running again. I'm working again in Chicago and a buddy in MO says he's back up as well.

I think in the UK it probably had more to do with the fact that 02 didn't have an existing EDGE infrastructure before the introduction of the iPhone, whereas in the US, AT&T had EDGE before 3G. It is amazing though that the drop in EDGE should affect such a large area of the US. You wouldn't think that the system would be able to be affected so disastrously.
