Failed to activate my iPhone

Hello,
I recently bought a brand-new iPhone 4s, activated it and started using it: call, SMS, download apps, ...
However, this is still showing inactivated in https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Can anyone help? my Serial Number: DNWHTBH5DTC0
Thank you so much!

The iPhone has to connect to the cellular network to complete activation. Make sure your iPhone is within the cell network area when trying to activate it.
You can also try Reset Network Settings from Settings > General > Reset.

Updated iOS to 5.1.1 a few minutes ago, but failed to activate my iphone. how should i proceed? Jerry

i downloaded iOS 5.1.1 and updated my iphone accordingly. however i failed to activate the iPhone using itunes or through a wi fi connection. am getting the message "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes". I have been trying again several times without success. How should I proceed?

Alright, sorry for not having browsed this page a bit more before stating my question. I have just found some other similar topics on this problem. Please don't reply this thread unless there actually is a solution to the problem, because at current time there is not.

Who was your original carrier; did you call them to ask them to unlock your phone, and are you aware of what their unlock policy is (THey may only unlock for international sims and not US sims

My iPhone 4s (bought today) won't get past the activation screen. It says 'it may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone' and then skips to another screen saying 'activation failed - try again'. Any solutions?

Apple's activation server is down.
I called Apple and the support team had the same issue.
All you can do is be patient.

Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?

Do you have a SIM in the phone?
A SIM is required to activate it.
If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored.

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.

You are absolutely WRONG. Apple bears no responsibility in this at all. YOU purchased a STOLEN phone. You are guilty of receiving stolen property at best. Take it back to wherever you bought it and demand a refund. Failing that, turn it over to the police. You got ripped off. I'm sorry you wasted your money, but there is NOTHING Apple or anyone else can do for you. Only the rightful owner of the phone can unlock it.

FaceTime was working fine then stopped. Wants me to sign in but fails to activate. I rebooted my IPad but that didn't help.

HT4972 i have just updated my 3S and it has failed to activate. what can i do?

i have just updated my 3S and it has failed to activate. what can i do?

Has the software on your phone been modified before you tried to update the firmware? If yes, jailbreaking the phone could be the reason for your problem.
If the device has not been jailbroken, try these steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

HT4623 i can't activate my iphone using wifi settings

how can i activate my iphone 4s without a micro sim. i already tried to open it using the wifi settings but it failed..
i once had an iphone 4s and activate it using a wifi settings and it works... but now it wont...how come???

You can't. It requires a SIM to activate. There is no way around it. The SIM does not have to be tied to active service, but it must be present and it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked.

Need help to activate my iphone

Hello every body , i have problem with my iphone , the device is locked on apple ID and need activation and the account maybe hacked but i still have the original email when i create the account, i tried many times to reset my password but no email recieved .
Please help me , i make an account the same as the old one (same id ) from the same email and when tried to activate the iphone i failed again
thank you very much

You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:

There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

I can not activate my iphone 3gs

As gdgmacguy stated, you cannot get help from this Apple forum
for a hacked iPhone.
Google may provide some direction. Be advised that depending what
software was used to hack your iPhone, a legitimate unlock may fail
and further attempts to restore your iPhone may result in it becoming
inoperative. Ask whoever jailbroke/hacked your iPhone for support.

HOW DO I ACTIVATE MY iPHONE 4S?

My iPhone 4S weas bought in the UK, and is failing to activate on the Malawi network.
On activation, the message is unable to contact server. Using iTines, the message is invalid simcard.
How do I activate my iPhone 4s to use on the Malawi network? Please help.

It sounds as if you have a locked device. It may have been hacked to use on your network earlier, but if you updated the software it is locked again. You need to find out who the carrier is for the device, see if they offer unlocking services. If they do, see if you qualify, if you do follow their instructions. If they do not offer unlocking or you do not qualify, there is nothing that you can do.
