How to activate my 3GS phone ?

how to activate my 3GS phone ?

Put your SIM in it, turn it on, and either follow the on-screen instructions (if it's running iOS 5 or 6) or plug it in and activate it using iTunes...
Are you having a problem?

    Probably you can't due to hacking or jailbreaking your iPhone.

  • I download os5 and not able to activate my 3GS phone

    I am not able to activate my 32GS phone after I download and installed OS5

    Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
    or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
    has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
    contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

    Apple cannot unlock iPhones themselves. You must contact the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and ask about their requirements for unlocking and if you qualify arrange the unlocking through the carrier. You will need a valid SIM, either from the original carrier or another carrier, to complete the unlock.
    Regards.

  • HT4972 how to activate iphone 3gs after restoring?

    i restored my phone but its not activating now what to do now

    Either you do not have a SIM installed in the phone, in which case you need to put a SIM in it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it. If that's the case, it will not activate until and unless the carrier it is locked to authorized unlocking it.

  • How to activate a new phone to replace a broken one

    I have a family plan, with 4 phones on it.
    My daughter put hers through the washing machine, its toast!
    So, we have a brand new, never-used palm center on hand.
    But when I try to activate it, using the page at https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/activation/activatephone.jsp I pick the line, enter the new MEID and then it just takes me to a page with no other options, nothing happens!

    ok, so I eventually find my way to the number 800-922-0204
    I call that, walk through the menus.
    it tells me turn off the old phone, dial *228-SEND from the new one and walk through the activation
    well, the old one is toast, its definitely off, so I follow along
    - dial *228-send
    - enter the phone-line # I want the new phone on
    - enter my billing passwd, replacing letters with digits
    - it gives me a "wait a minute message"
    - then it gives me a "we cannot activate your equipment" message, no reason
    - then it tells me to dial 800-922-0204 for assistance
    so, here I am, stuck in an endless loop!

  • How to activate a 2G phone

    I have a 2G Iphone with an AT&T sim card from the previous owner. Since I have the phone and an AT&T sim card in it, can I activate it through the "restore" and "set up as a new phone" options in iTunes? Anyone know if I have to have a contract or can it be done otherwise.
    thanks in advance

    You need to get a new SIM card from an AT&T corporate store.
    After inserting the new SIM card, when connecting the iPhone to iTunes, you will be prompted with the activation process with AT&T.
    If you are an existing subscriber, you select as an existing subscribed followed by entering your AT&T cell phone number with area code.
    A new 2 year contract will be required.
