Just got a iphone and it says give it 3 hours to activate. Does this sound right?

Right now it says NO SERVICE. I appreciate any help as this is my first iphone. Also, I did not receive a manual on how to set up the phone such as contacts?

When i got mine the guy at the store activated it for me after i purchased it so it was much less of a hassle for me. I would see what happens in 3 hours and if it doesn't work right go the store and ask customer service.

  • Just cracked my iPhone 5 (just got 2 weeks ago)? Like in the title just cracked the screen and wondering what my next step is? Some say its a free replacement since I just got it. Replacement at the apple store, but I know th warranty doesn't cover this since it is an accidental damage. Very confused and so pissed if I have to pay for a brand new one this is just a few weeks brand new.
  • ITunes says iPhone update will take four hours? I'm running on a mac desktop, with iTunes 11.0.1. I'm currently running on ios 6.1, iphone 4, with jailbreak, wanting to restore and update the phone. So i started this process about a half hour ago, and since then it has told me so update the phone, it will be four hours, and not even a megabyte of data has changed, it just stood like that.
  • I've got an iPhone that's damaged, it's insured but does the insurer have the right to send a replacement instead of repairing without asking? I have a 24k good iPhone and it's damadged quite bad (internally). I want to send it to be repaired but am worried the insurer can send me a new phone (standard edition) and keep my limited edition one as it was custom gold plated. I live in the UK and don't know much on the laws around this. If they can't repair it am I allowed to ask for my damadged phone back rather than a replacement sent?
  • I just got iphone 6 and it says no service? My mom got it for me for a graduation present and she braught it home and i was so happy and i still am but it says no service. I have att btw
