HT201210 updated ios overseas, cannot activate or restore
I get "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."
Trying to activate through iTunes. Been using this 3GS with AT&T for years. Perhaps it's due to an overseas IP address? I can't call customer support because I can't get through the "connect to iTunes" after attempting a restore.
Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable") and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.
iPhone 4s iOS 5.1.1 (9B206)

Just bought Iphone 3GS updated it but cannot activate??
Hi I have recently bought an Iphone 3GS on EBay (advertised as unlocked) I connected it to Itunes and updated it to 6.1.3 now I cannot activate it.
Is there a way I can access the phone at all to get the EIME number as I know that support will ask for that when i contact them.
HELPIf you purchased a phone on Ebay advertised as unlocked, then it has probably been jailbroken to unlock it which is why it won't activate.
Not a lot you can do now so think on! -
i can't use my iPhone after i updated it. It says that "your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting you iPhone to iTunes to activated it, or try again in a couple of minutes" and the iTunes says that "There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone." i've already done what it says but it still no use. what shouls I do?

after updating to os 5 i cannot activate my 3gs
Did you install modified software on your phone before you updated? If yes, this could be a reason for your phone acting that way.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
If the device has not been jailbroken, try to connect in recovery mode and see if you can restore again.

Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update.
Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update. "Activation unsuccessful" I cannot activate it.
Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
Tell us if it solves the issue. -
