Activate my iPhone 3Gs with BOB

If I want to activate my iPhone 3Gs with BOB or Telering, I get the following message: "the iphone located in the SIM card is apparently not supported". With an A1, Orange or DREI card does it work. Where is the problem? Thanks in advance.

You cannot activate an iPhone without a valid SIM.
Regards.

    Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
    Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
    Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

    Help me!!!
    AT&T are unlock my phone, official!!!

    1) Check your iTunes account.
    2) you have to be at your computer. Apple is very smart, the place you put your I'd or password is not near data base.
    3) make sure your ID and Password is correct. When type on the phone, if you don't check you might press the wrong key some time cases where people have long Neil.
    4) go to apple website n reset the I'd or password.

    sorry, but it sounds like your regional apple systems - activation server or network - are overload. you might wait or go to the next apple store.

  • New iPhone 3GS with 3.1.2 firmware lost connection and de-activate itself.

    I was facing a problem with my iPhone 3GS (with 3.1.2 firmware)that prompt for "Restore is needed" and then lost All Network connection (phone, wifi, bluetooth....). I reboot my phone and its stay on Un-activate condition, which only allow me to call emergency number (which i don't know).
    This already happen to me second times with a replacement phone by apple store. So I worry that i will have the same problem even Apple replace another new phone for me.
    Please help and let me know what actually happenning on the phone or this firmware.

    No, it's not a common problem. In fact, 3.1.2 contains a fix for this a similar problem which was a bug in 3.1.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

  • HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs. I instaled new version of ios 6.1.1. But i don't know the phone was oficcialy unlock or not oficcialy

    1. You could not have installed iOS 6.1.1, it is 6.1.2
    2. It will get activated - if unlocked, with any SIM else you need SIM; active or inactive from the Carrier.

  • After update on 6.0.1. I can't activate my iPhone 3gs.

    Hello,

  • Can't activate my Iphone 3gs

    Hello,
    Yesterday I bought a Iphone 3gs with ios 6 on it, from somebody else.
    Now I want to activate my Iphone with Wifi. That doesn't work. If I want to try it with itunes is also doesnt work
    Thats What Iphone says about my Iphone.
    Can somebody help me?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Does anyone know why I cant Activate my Iphone 3gs?

    Dpes anyone know why I cant activate my iphone 3gs,it says it cant be activated because the activation server is unavaliable

    If the phone was previously unlocked by an unauthorized method, it was re-locked to its original carrier when you updated.  It will now acivate and operate only with that carrier, using their SIM card.

    Your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken in order to unlock to to work with T-Mobile. When you updated it you broke the hack and the iPhone is now locked again to the original cell provider, most likely AT&T.
    You can see about unlocking it with AT&T by using this form, if you qualify: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/termsAndCondition
    After unlocking you will need to use Google and learn the procedure to clear the unlock hack and Restore it.

  • HT201328 i already unlucked my iphone 3GS with at&t but when i restore the iphone keep asking me for the activation plz help

    hello m i just unlucked my iphone 3GS with AT&T , but when i restored my iphone it keep asking me for the activation what i can do ?
    note : i dont have the at&t sim

    You need to put a sim card into the phone to be able to activate it - you can't activate a phone without a sim card.
    If the phone has just been unlocked, then you don't need an AT&T sim card.  Just put any sim card of your choice into the phone and if it is now unlocked, then it should work.
