    Problems Activating IPhone 5S (Virgin Mobile)
    On January 13, 2014 - I recieved my Brand New IPhone 5S
    Almost One Week Later I attempted to Swap Virgin Mobile Phones (Keeping my Cell Phone Number)
    When I had attempted to do my Swap from a Kyocera Rise to IPhone 5S - It gave me a error message saying that my UCCID number doesn't match my Serial Number. I called Virgin Mobile Costumer Service to see if they can activate my phone.
    How should I resolve my issue?

    If you made these purchases through Virgin Mobile, you need to deal with them about this issue. It seems their network is not recognizing something about your account.

  • Problems activating iPhone 4?

    Just out of curiosity, for those of you that seem to be having problems activating your new iPhone 4 through iTunes, are you already current AT&T iPhone customers or are you activating new iPhones ?
    I'm patiently waiting for my new iPhone from FedEx and I'm upgrading from an existing 3GS iPhone, so I'm wondering if I'll have an activation problem or not.
    Also, if I activate and then restore from a backup of my 3GS am I going to be sorry? There are preferences etc leftover from apps that I've tried and deleted etc, so I'm wondering if I should just start fresh and sync from iTUnes new. The ***** would be entering all the dates in "Informant" (my replacement for calendar)
    Thoughts?
    TIA,
    Peter

    Can tell you that I am a former upgrader (from the getgo) and was dismayed when I went to activate. Got a screen with my number and two boxes for input: zip code and last four digits of SSN. Put them in and promptly got a "AT&T session timed out...) message. Tried it probably ten more times then posted here seeking a solution.
    I used to work for Apple and no matter what, the mantra is to "restart the machine" so I tried that. Presto! Activation took right away. Now syncing. I'll probably run out of space because I dropped from a 32G down to a 16G since I have the 64G iPad (and it LOVE it - can even make Skype calls so the iPhone isn't really a do or die requirement).
    New iPhone looked much smaller when I took it out of the box. Heavier too for just being a 16G, still it is slim and beautiful to look at.

  • HT1937 problem activating iPhone

    Hi I'm having a problem activatine my iPhone.
    Keep getting a message sayin .. Could not activate iPhone. You iPhone couldnt not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailble.
    This keeps appearing, anyone know any solutions?? Thank you

    We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
    Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.

  • Problem activating iPhone 4 on new network.

    Hello, I have received an iPhone 4 from a friend who has recently upgraded, he is on vodafone and I am on Giffgaff both in the UK.
    He has been in touch and been granted a factory unlock from his network for me, although when he originally retired the handset he did a full "as new" restore through iTunes. I cannot activate the phone with my sim as it's not the original carrier but therefore also cannot get beyond the activation of the handset in order to "apply" the factory unlock through iTunes.
    Is there anyway around this problem or will I have to borrow/acquire a Vodafone sim to firstly activate and then update through iTunes? Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick altogether? Help much appreciated!

    There is no way around. SIM is required for activation and not for a Restore. (Once unlock is approved, then only after restore, with any SIM inserted in, it can be activated. So long it is locked, you always need Vodafone SIM.)
    Hope it answers.

  • Problem activating iphone 4 after upgrading to iOS 5

    I have purchased an iphone 4 which is factory unlocked in Malaysia. I upgraded the phone to IOS 5 from the US Store since I live in USA and frequently travel to Asia. After upgrading the phone it worked with both a Malaysian Sim Card and a Thai Sim Card. I then purchased an iphone 4S and am able to use it everywhere as it is also unlocked. When I erased the iphone 4 and reset it, it will not let me activate the phone with either the original sim card or any other sim cards. Why? How do I correct this problem?

    Did you check your security software settings? eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Problem activating iPhone 2G

    Inserted SIM (new phone on an existing AT&T account). Phone displays the "connect to iTunes" message. Connect to pc and standard iPhone sound is made. iTunes recognizes iPhone (lists it under devices) yet "Welcome to your new iPhone" setup does not initiate. Right clicking device gives "eject" as only option.Main iTunes screen simply says "iPhone" in the middle.
    Latest version of iTunes is installed. Any ideas?

    Hi wjosten,
    thanks for the reply.
    I now have used a T-mobile card, but the phone seems not to recognize ist. It works like a charm in a old Nokia, so I guess, the sim card is ok.
    Is it a hardware or a software problem now? What do you think?

    No, the answer of an agent will contact me is not suffice.  I want to change the service at my convenience.  I DO NOT want to WAIT and TALK to an agent everytime I need to make a change.  Why do you put the function on the web site when it clearly does not work?

  • My iphone has problem activating. It says incorrect apple id but the apple id is correct

    My iphone has problem activating. It says incorrect apple id but the apple id is correct ?

    FAQ apple id http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622?viewlocale=en_US
    You are seeing your old apple id because that was the ID that was used to download the app, you can't merge apple id.
    to update the app, you will have to enter the old password.
    Any new apps you download with your new id, will use that id and password.

    Welcome to the Apple community Kobra.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • HT4623 I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says ' Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS. Help any

    I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says " Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS to IOS6. Help anyone?

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries
