is push enabled? if you bought it from someone it might have been disabled. try that

Just got my iPhone a couple days ago. But I got push to work by setting up gmail as an exchange acct. Then double click home. Stop the mail program. Go into settings under mail unchecked sync mail. Started mail app. Go into settings check sync mail again. Stop app. And restart. Push now works perfect for me.

Set that certain account as the default or active account.
