Hey John,

I was calm with AT&T and though it took a couple of calls I finally got it 
working. So weird that their customer service reps are so clueless. At least my 
moron detecting skills are still good, as how the first customer rep was 
claiming that I needed to open the iPhone to get to the sim card blows my mind.
