My iPhone: a call to the New AT&T
Two pieces of good news: my call was answered immediately (amazing!) by a very polite rep, and the other good news is that my account is in their system. It is just that it is "activating" and apparently "activating" can take up to 24 hours - not the 6 minutes the software said when it started the activation process. 6 minutes, 24 hours, why it's practically the same thing.
I really hate waiting.
Update 11:55pmI got an e-mail from AT&T a couple of hours ago that was slurped into my junk mail folder, so I just found it. I guess the 24 hour problem is because of my phone number transfer. Still a huge bummer that I can't do anything with my iPhone in the meantime.

That sucks. I'm seriously considering buying one and paying the $175 termination fee just to have the tricked out ipod. We will see.

Some other providers were anticipating this and locked numbers from transfer. Or perhaps they had locked them months ago as a matter of course.
A quick phone call to a provider whose name shall not be named unlocked numbers for transfer, which then went through.
As for me, I've been with AT&T /cingular since before number portability was possible.
