New iPhone Activation Issue - Credit authorization number

[spacerog]

I'm on hold with AT&T right now but I'm hoping someone can help while I wait...

The boss is paranoid and does not want his SSN sent over iTunes. I told him to go down to AT&T and get a pre-approval credit check, which he did and gave me the number.

So now I am trying to enter that code into iTunes in leu of the SSN but iTunes is still balking and wants the SSN. Did I miss a checkbox or something? Any ideas? What can I do?

iTunes still made my mom put in her SSN even with a Credit approval check. she doesn't trust the internets with her SSN, but she caved in to my begging. lol

Yeah, well when I tried the pre-approval thing, it didn't work. So, I had to enter in my SSN. I don't like doing that.

Well, the bosses phone finally accepted the credit check number. The phone is activated. Now I just gotta figue out how to get the 2000+ contact database into Address book. Gonna be a fun day today!
