That sounds very odd.

Take it into a local store and see what they say. I'm sure if it's new they'll figure out whats wrong and /or be be able to replace it for you.

Call Sprint (I presume you are using Sprint) and have them walk you through manual programming of your phone.

If the OP is in Montana and attempting to activate a Sprint phone it may not work as Sprint only provides native coverage for travelers and doesn't allow actual phones and service to be established in Montana.
