my iphone cant js seem to get activated..it says server is temporarily unavailable..til wen wil this continue?
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, either get a sim card from the carrier your 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.

My phone is not uploading ios 6.1.3 it is saying can't be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have none of my contacts, how do I restore my phone?

Mlahoudh ipon ChineseGenerally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier? -
my iphone states Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable - i cant get passed this screen to complete any of the resolutions i am being told to complete?
You can not "take an iPhone" to get it legitimately unlocked. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it, whch is done through iTunes by you.
Whoever you took it to hacked it. It is now most likely permanently bricked.

I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
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. -

am using iphone 3gs and updated it to ios 6.1.3, after this when i restar the phone and put the sim back it said that your phone cant be avtivated because the server is temporarily unavailable, my sim is also undetected. what should i do now please help.
If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.
