I cannot activate my cricket iphone 5

I have bought from the ebay cricket iPhone 5. It was told that cricket iPhone 5 is internationally unlocked. But here in Kazakhstan it can't find the local networks and doesn''t activates with local sim cards. iTunes just repot connection issues. How can I unlock my phone for use here?? Please HELP ME!!!

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

  • HT1937 I cannot activate my new iphone 4s the server is unavailable but the problem keeps persisting

    I cannot activate my new iphone 4s as the server is temporarily unavaliable, anyone had this ? Any suggestions on when the server will be up and running?

    If you are activating it with your computer either your firewall/antivirus is blocking the connection to apple's activation server gs.apple.com or your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • Help! Cannot activate newly purchased Iphone 4

    Hi all,
    i purchased an Iphone 4 from the singapore Apple store and brought it with me to Shanghai. I did not activate the phone in Singapore as it was delivered on the morning I had to fly back to Shanghai.
    Now I cannot activate the phone through Itunes, it said the connected phone may be damaged...
    I need to know if i can send the phone to Shanghai's Apple store for servicing etc. and if anybody knows anyway to get around this.
    <Edited by Host>

    This is dumb, solved the problem just by using a Singapore SIM card.

  • I cannot activate my replacement iphone 5 ?

    It says to choose Language - I choose British English
    Then my location - I choose United Kingdom
    Then mobile or wifi - I have tried both
    Then tells me it may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone
    Then it tells your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached, Try connecting your iPhone to itunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
    If the problem persits, contact Apple Support at apple.com/uk/support

  • Cannot activate facetime on iPhone 5 and got below message  "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". All networks work well (WI-FI or At

    I got my new iPhone 5 Last Friday. However I can not activate facetime on the new iPhone 5. All other function work well.
    I used my apple ID and always get the below message " Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again".
    My network work well. I can access internet, apple store with no issue via wi-fi or AT&T 4G. No password issue as I can use the same apple ID register other access and apple store.
    I noticed that many users are complaining the facetime after upgrading to iOS6. Not sure if this is the reason?
    Any one here can help on this?
    Thanks

    Facetime is accessed through Contacts or Messages. The only place you will find anything else in is Settings, where you would activate it. There is no stand alone app for Facetime like on the iPod or iPad.

  • Cannot activate factory unlocked iPhone 4S: SIM not valid

    Hello Apple, 
     I have a problem with my Iphone: I purchased a factory unlocked iPhone 4S in a The Source Store in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. I´m from Brazil but now I am living in Israel and the fact that the phone is factory unlocked was necessary for me to use it in both countries ( Brazil and Israel). After my trip to Canada, I arrived to Brazil and inserted my micro-sim into the new iPhone. It showed the "Activate iPhone" screen BUT it won’t activate. It says "SIM not valid" and "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier´s store to receive a replacement SIM card”. 
    Now I am living in Israel and the same situation continues: I inserted one Israelian micro-sim into the Iphone and it showed the "Activate iPhone" screen BUT it won’t activate. It says "SIM not valid" and "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier´s store to receive a replacement SIM card”.
    In Israel we don’t have Apple Stores and i can´t have access to one, so now i have an iPhone 4S i cant not eve use as an iPod, leaving it totally useless.
    I will greatly appreciate any help!!
    Apple Support Team: If you need the IMEI or Serial Number please ask me.
    Thanks in advanced,
    Bernard

    The Source in Canada was formally know as Radio Shack and they do sell iPhones.. Only for Bell and Virgin Canada.
    http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&categ ory=iphones&sort=1&pagenum=1
    What does it say on your receipt?
    As Bell and Virgin do not unlock iPhones you will need to sell that phone to someone in Canada and get an unlocked phone directly from Apple.

  • Why cannot activate Facetime on IPhone using email address as an option - similar to Ipod and Ipad2

    Unable to activate Facetime on my IPhone 4 ( Unlocked and bought from Apple stores in France ),
    It's keep saying " Waiting for activation..."
    As a suggestion, a software upgrade that enable IPhone4 FT to be activated using an email address instead of the phone number.
    Please advise if possible... one day

    Not possible.
    The iPhone is a ..... phone. FaceTime with an iPhone is activated with the iPhone's cell phone number only.
    If Apple plans on changing this one day, no one here knows.

  • I cannot activate my original iphone after resetting

    I reset my iPhone, and it then got stuck in restore mode? All i can see is a picture of a USB cable and the iTunes logo.
    It has a slide bar saying 'Emergency calls', if i slide this it then takes me to a keypad where I can then allegedly type in a code to be able to take me to my home screen.
    It is saying, when connected to iTunes, that it is an invalid sim as the iPhone was purchased from The States.
    Does anybody know how I can get hold of a code, or does anyone have one for me? If not, what else can I do to be able to get my phone back up and running?
    Thanks.

    I have the same iPhone as you.
    The one locked to AT&T.
    All i did was:
    go to this website: http://www.quickpwn.com/downloads
    and download by clicking on: Download PwnageTool 3.0 (Mac users only)
    this program will create a new ipsw restore file for you iphone, but it will unlock it.
    i had to downgrade my itunes to an earlier version than 8.2 so that it would work.
    all u have to do is follow the steps of the program and then restore your iphone but with the file that custom it will create.
    And your iphone should be unlocked and running the 3.0 update.
