Pre Approval Credit code problem

[Shak02]

I got my iPhone today (yay!) but when i get home to activate it, it tells me to put in a PRE APPROVAL CREDIT CODE that needs to be 9-digits, 12-digits, or 13-digits. The # that the guy at the store gave me is 14-digits and i called them and he even said that its weird how that says that because thats the # i need to use (the one he gave me thats 14-digits). He then said that people are having trouble with this and some people fixed it by just re typing there info in the spaces a couple times and it worked...ive tried it maybe 30 times and its saying that it needs a 9, 12, or a 13-digit # and mine is 14-digits...PLEASE help me in another way to get my iPhone activated..rep!

I had the same problem....I started over, without using the pre approval credit code and I was successful. Now I am just waiting for the activation email....One hour and fifteen minuets and counting...

Are you a current customer because i just swtiched over...so where did it tell you to wait for an email? After i do the activation without the code, then it basically asks me put in a pre approval code or do prepay! WTF!

I transferred a number from Nextel/Sprint. I was told at the end I would receive and e-mail. Now when I connect the phone iTunes gives me the same screen and I do not have the option to activate the iPhone.

I'm not really sure what to tell you. I entered the same information I gave at the AT&T store. I'm sorry.....
