HT201210 why can my activation request not be completed for my iphone 3gs

i recently bought a iphone 3GS and now it doesn't work everytime it says "activation request could not be completed."

Typically this is the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.  Is that the case?

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

  • Why can't I open videos in my emails on Iphone 3gs

    I cannot open videos on my iphone 3gs sent in my emails. It will appear to start to open then stop.
    It continually shows the message "0 time remaining on download".  In some cases it will not even
    show the video square to click on to open, but no problem on my computer with the same sent
    video. Advice please.

    Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

  • Why can't I send emails after iOS5 upgrade of iPhone 3GS?

    Having upgraded to iOS5, my iPhone 3GS will receive but will no longer send emails.  The error message says that it cannot send mail because the recipient [named] was rejected by the server.  This happens whether I am trying to reply to an incoming message or create one afresh.  Help please.

    If anyone picks up this question, I later found the answer at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3400398?start=0&tstart=0 - a thread I failed to find when I first searched.

  • HT1937 Can anybody send me a SIM card for my iPhone 3GS ?

    I just bought a used iPhone 3GS 32gb black and they didn't send me a AT&T sims card paid $205 +shipping + tax $25 shipp$15  5-10 business day from great vine tx, didn't get until 2 days later

    I think you will need to have the carrier supply you with a SIM.  No one here will send you one.  We are just Apple users like you.

  • HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

    Hi Drumsing,
    As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
    Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
    P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
    Hope this helps,

  • Why can I receive but not send emails

    Why can I receive but not send emails on my i pad?

    Perhaps the outgoing mail server settings are incorrect or incomplete.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    Why can I receive but not send mail?

    With sparse information you give I would venture that you have not set up the correct Outgoing Mail Server settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for their set up.

    Why can I send  but not receive them?

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages
