Update !!!  after getting tossed around like a pig pong ball and spoken too like a first time user of a iphone ..i recived a call from a apple  level 5 tech wich is the highest ..he told me that att is haveing a problem with the new ios5 reporting data to their servers .. he then called att  while i was on the phone and put us on a three way call and explaned to the att tech  what is going on ... the tech says ( we have been getting alot of calls about this issue but we still havent figured it out ) and that they will upgrade my package at no cost to me untill it gets resolved ..but any way take a look at this straight from the apple forums ...
