Can not activate Edge Network
Hi
My friend and I, both iPhone users, are getting this message all morning at our work location. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? It seems to me like this is an AT&T issue.
Help?
Thanks.
David
There's a thread on this here:

before i do updates for my iphone (to 5.0.1) i close my SIM card, i can not complete the update proccess becouse SIM is closed also i can not activate iPhone becouse the SIM must be opened. when i try to open it , the networks does not appear (no service).
Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!

TS3920 Can not activate face time or iMessage need to check network connection
Can not activate Face Time or iMessage just get can not sign in please
check network connection. Have tried everything I have read in past post.
Please help.Hello Nikki
I have won the battle.
right let me tell you what i did and in what order.
First i restored my Ipad 2 to original factory settings, backing up content so i lost nothig.
then i reset my router, this caused me a few probs as i am not that computer savvy and i needed netgear to help me re configure my router.
after a long conversation with apple we came to the conclusion that the passwords were causing the problem.
i spent time explaining to them that when i originally set up my itunes account and then my mobile me account there were no stipulations regarding numbers and capitals in passwords, hence when i got my IPAD my passwords were not "appropriate" even though they were working fine.
I decided to reset ALL my passwords associated with I tunes, mobile me and addle ID to the correct requirements which are; at least 8 figures with at least 1 number and a capital.
I then reset my DNS code on my IPAD to 8.8.8.8
(go to WIFI settings, touch arrow to right of your network and change DNS code)
and voila, it worked.
I would try and sort all passwords out to correct requirements ( one number, one capital the rest can be lower case). then change your DNS code, then try face time.
if that doesnt work then it may be a case of restoring factory settings on your IPad and resetting the router.
I appreciate how frustrating this is as they are not cheap.
loads of luck and do let me know how you get on.

I have recently bought iPhone 5. I am using a BSNL post paid 3G sim. I can not activate my BSNL 3G services in my new iPhone 5. Though they were perfectly fine previously in my old handset i.e. Nokia Lumia 800. Please Help. How do I activate BSNL 3G services in my iPhone 5.
Since BSNL is not a supported carrier, you need to input Correct APN settings for Cellular data and enable 3G
Settings >> General >> Network >> Cellular Data Network.
Check with BSNL website/Wireless Customer care/Engineering. You can use Google as well. Cheers -

Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:

I can not activate my iPhone 3gs. What is the problem ? why ? Solutions ?
Good day! I just bought an Iphone 3gs and I did an update and now I can not activate it. It says : the actiivation server is temporary unavaliable. When Iam trying to do throught iTunes it says that there is no sim card (((. This is my first iphone. Please help !
There is nothing wrong with Apple's activation servers. They are up & running just fine.
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

I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?
Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

I have purchased iPhone 3g device from my friend, I connected it to the iTunes to upgrade from 3.1 to 6.0 as many softwares were not being installed as iOS was not up to date. I upgraded but now I can not activate my device. What I should do now??? i am really feeling difficulty because i have been disconnected from the network.
I am from Pakistan.The 3G cannot be updated to iOS6, it can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Activation issues are generally the result of the device being hacked or jailbroken. -
Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.
Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.
If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support -
bought the phone in America and I can not activate. addressed to the cellular company they refuse razbloairovat sprint since I'm outside of America? help! What to do?
Return it for a refund, if you can. Otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.
Fact is, Sprint will only unlock the sim slot for customers using the phone on their network...obviously not you. Sorry, but you wasted your money. -
Erroneous "Could not activate cellular network" message
I don't have a cellular plan. I did activate it for one month, then cancelled -- I only activate it when I'm traveling. I've disabled cellular in the settings. But I still occasionally get a pop up message saying "Could not activate cellular network". Well, correct, cellular is disabled and it shouldn't be trying to activate it. How can I stop this error message from popping up?

activation server is not available on iphone 3GS i put it in DFU mode but still can not activate i went to apple store but they did not help?
There are four possible causes of the activation error:
The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your phone is jailbroken.
Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424?viewlocale=en_US
If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.
