please HELP!! after restore found this error,, We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care???
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Could Not Be Completed?"
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, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the 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.

We're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time iphone 3gs
i updated my iPhone 3gs to latest iOS 6.0.1 from iOS 4.1 but i'm stuck on Activation. and then i found a solution i deleted lockdown folder from root/var/root/library now my iPhone is not showing activation screen but when i connect my iPhone to my iTunes it gives me an Error "we're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time".
Where, exactly, did you get the phone?
The term "factory unlocked" has no meaning. Apple does not use that term anywhere. iPhones are either locked, unlocked (either purchased directly from Apple or in a country where all iPhones are unlocked) or unlocked by the original carrier.
If you purchased a "factory unlocked" phone from an unauthorized source, or you went to a shop or a web site and had it "factory unlocked", it was hacked. Not legitimately unlocked. -

i have restore my ipone, but after that when i restart it and after selecting language and country. when i conntect to itunes, it display this message. We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this timre
Hello mzpartia,
I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
Resolution
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 Wi-Fi 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 Applefor assistance.
Take care,

Hi, I have a iphone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 baseband 04.12.01 AT&T recently release me but I have presented a problem with the activation of the device, I have restored and updated and I get a message saying WE'RE SORRY, WE ARE UNABLE tO COMPLETE wITH YOUR ACTIVATION AT tHIS MOMENT, PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER, OR CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE would like to know which means that message and I have to do to activate hopefully help me with this problem and I have 3 months with the phone saying same message ...
thank you very much ...but can not be unlocked
If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T. It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
Your post makes very little sense. Maybe you can get some help with English. -
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care. what is this thing?i try to upgrade my ios to 6.1 from 5.1.1,after i do this,i cant connect to iTunes although i had and have a internet connectionThis message indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
Then when you updated/restored your phone it locked back up to the original carrier.
Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it. -

Sorry but i have seen your reply in this same issue in a lot of thread by keep saying this is jailbreaking or unlocking problem,
but this issue happen on Factory Unlock Phone and even iTouch and iPad...
So i don't think u actually are helping by keep saying same thing again n again, while the problem could be from another thing...
Here we got 1 succesful user that experienced same issue but managed to fix it :

after updating my iphone 3gs to ios6 a message "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." pls help
I have the same problem after updating to the latest iTunes. I purchased an iPhone 4S this past summer and gave my 3GS to my 6 year-old minus the SIM card-- an instant iPod Touch. Things were fine until the latest version of iTunes 11.0. Until I updated to 11.0.1, iTunes would not even "see" the iPhone.
How do I get past the insistence to activate the phone? Right now, it's a useless brick. -
Help me!!! I can't activate my iphone 3gs!!!
iTunes say: Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care!
What me do?! =((((
Help me!!!
AT&T are unlock my phone, official!!!1) Check your iTunes account.
2) you have to be at your computer. Apple is very smart, the place you put your I'd or password is not near data base.
3) make sure your ID and Password is correct. When type on the phone, if you don't check you might press the wrong key some time cases where people have long Neil.
4) go to apple website n reset the I'd or password.
