At&T activation servers go down

[erix920]

dnscacheutil -flushcache

If you have Leopard

[mozzyman]

does this mean that us people that want to unlock can go out and buy one as they wont require us to sign the 2 year contract and plan etc...

[pilsungpam]

I have windows vista. How do I do the ipconfig /flushdns??

[btdesigns]

the ATT Activation service is down and u can buy iphones unactivated NYC

[cockyjeremy]

Shewwww.. i thought i broke my new 16gb white iphone.. until i read this. lol. Mine was activated in store, but i came home and restored it now can't get past the "slide for emergency" screen.. this is annoying, but nowhere near as bad as thinking i somehow bricked it.. haha.

You can flush your DNS by just restarting your computer. Any of you try that? You may also want to try it from a different computer. Or restart your router to develop a new IP address.

Good Luck.

Waited 14 Hours was first inline at the ATT store here went STRAIGHT home and cant activate.... have tried several times, this is very disappointingly

[chrsptl]

apple and at&t both facing unexpected large sell of new iPhone 3g and same time preowen iPhone customers updating their iphone so server has down for now. Could be up by 1:00 pm est time possibly.. Well hope for the best

[jtesnani]

flushing dns is actually dscacheutil -flushcache

Does anyone know what happens if I were to sign up with a new AT&T plan and cancel it within 30 days? How can they make me bring the phone back?

[jtesnani]

they will bill you the ETF if you dont' return the equipment, plus, with iphones it may be 14 days and not 30. with the old iphone it was 14 days for "Trial"

Well. You have to sign a 2 year contract. So if you did cancel within that 30 days you have to pay the Early Termination Fee (ETF) which is about (I think) around $300.

So it wouldn't be very smart. But you would get to keep your iPhone.

[infamous12550]

Yeah exactly... What does the contract say about cancelling & keeping the phone? Is it still a $175 to terminate early, or did they make some new silly cluase that you have to pay some ridiculous amout?

Hey if you came and found me I would have gladly sold you my spot cause right now I'm out about 215 bucks and all I got was a good looking brick with an apple logo on it.

doubt it... they need techs in there to work on the servers and re establish connections

[abercrfootball]

What the hell, they knew this would happen, so why didn't they buy more servers to fix this!!!!!!

[ryan christopher]
