I activated a few days after receiving it. I had requested a port of my home phone number, which I assumed would take a few days. (I've called and they said it was transferred) I've tried activating five more times since my last post, and still nothing. It gives me a number (my home number) a passcode and the A-OK to login. I can't. This is my third gophone, first with a ported number. Never had this issue.
Right now, it seems I'm going to have to spend another $50ish on a phone and refill card (to get a new sim and number). It also means throwing away my home number. This is terrible and I can't believe it can't be remedied.
