Unable to activate new iPhone 4S for hours

For those of you that managed to pull it off (I assume there are some), did you succeed through a wired connection to iTunes, or wirelessly? If wirelessly, cellular or WiFi?


When you went to retry, what did you do on your successful attempt? Turn the phone off and back on? Unplug from the iTunes and reconnect? Quit iTunes and restart?


Looking for any guidelines on how to increase my odds of getting through.

iPhone 4, iOS 5, S, att, 64GB Black

Eureka! After dozens of failed attempts using WiFi, I turned off my router and forced the phone to use cellular. Succeeded on the 2nd attempt.
