Can't activate my iPhone 5 with my apple id

Hi,
I've got a an iPhone 5 and had the phone unlocked to take another sim card now the phone won't activate with my apple id.
its the apple id i used to activate the phone from new and I've only got one apple id.
the phone has been working perfectly before i changed the sim card.i turned off find my i phone with orig sim card and id etc.
i am the original owner and not 2nd hand etc but will not accept the phones original set up id(mine).
this is really really frustrating Apple.

Go to icloud.com.  Log in with your Apple ID and password. Check under Find My iPhone to show all your devices.  Then, choose 'play sound'.  If your iPhone plays a sound, then you've got the correct device selected.  Then, turn off your iPhone.  Refresh the Find My iPhone page, and then select 'Remove from Account'.  Then turn your phone back on, and proceed past the Activation Lock screen.
If that fails, get a copy of your purchase receipt from wherever you bought the iPhone.  Make a scanned or digital copy of that receipt, and then contact Apple.  You'll need to have them send you a request for that file to be attached.  Once it's been attached to your case with Apple, then call back (or if you do it while on the phone, that's fine too), and then they can forward your request to the appropriate department that handles requests to remove Find My iPhone Activation Lock.  Takes about 2 business days or so.

  • Can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • Can I activate my iphone with AT&T Prepaid cards

    Hi.. I have a 4gb iPhone. I just wanted to know that whether I can activate my 4gb iPhone with AT&T prepaid cards or Go phone cards and still covers apple warranty?
    Anybody has ever tried it??

    Apple warranty is for the hardware. It has nothing to do with the ATT calling plan. You'd need to ask ATT if you can use gophone prepaid cards for the iPhone.

  • Can i activate my iPhone with a inactive micro sim card ???

    im going to buy a iphone outside my country.but im bringing my countrys micro sim so when i get to the apple store my sim will not be  conected to his towers can i stil activate the phone if the sim is inactive

    If the device is unlocked, all it requires is a SIM card to activate.
    I would caution that buying an iPhone in a country other than the one where you intend to use it can cause issues.
    iPhone warranty and support are only valid in the country where the device was officially sold by Apple or their Authorized Reseller.  The only exception being the EU where all countries in the EU are considered one country for warranty purposes.

    i dont have service on my iPhone and i upgrade yesterday but i can't access to the springboard 

    The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.
