Amazon is NOT an authorized distributor for iPhones. It has become a clearing-house for shady 3rd party sellers. The phone you got was not "new in box". It was hacked/jailbroken. The 3G has not been sold in almost 2 years. Try to return it and get your money back if you can, then buy one from a legitimate source (directly from Apple or from a supported carrier).
