How long does it take for a Cellone (Cingulair) phone to start workin after activation?

[DarkManX]

I got a phone about 5 hours ago at best buy, When I call from it I get a busy singal, when I call it I get a msg saying "This CellOne number is no longer in service" did best buy forget to activate it? or does it take time?

usually a day, that's the time period I've heard for all the phones.

I believe it's instant. You might want to contact Best Buy or Cingular.

I dunno if it depends on your company or not. My AT&amp;T phone was activated instantly, I believe the same can be said about Sprint PCS, I dunno why Cingular would be any different.
