With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
They should have done this.

  • Can't activate iPhone 4S after restoring it while over seas

    I am on a 2 month work trip overseas and recently had to "restore" my phone to clear up some software problems.  After restoring, the phone will not activate.  I am currently in Germany and I get a "No Service" message where I would normally get "bars" and the name of the service provider.
    I am a Verizon customer and NOT trying to use another provider's sim or anything like that.  I am actually able to receive calls if someone calls my regular US number but I am unable to make calls at all.
    When I reboot the phone i get the message "Waiting for activation - This may take some time." I can dismiss this message and use other functions of the phone (attach to wifi, etc) but if I leave it alone i never activates.
    I have both Voice Roaming and Data Roaming turned on in Settings
    Anyone know how to activate what is basically a "new" Verizon iPhone outside of the US?

    Hi PatGaspode,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    In this situation I would recommend a specific kind of restore called recovery mode. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to put your iPhone in recovery mode and restore it.

  • HT201365 I can not activate the iPhone after restore ios 7

    I restore iphone 5 on ios 7 and I get these messages:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset" and this one "error 0x80090304".
    My network connection is good.
    I have tried restore again (even on 6.1.4), restarting, resetting my device and nothing.
    Is it possible that this is because I did not turned off Find my iPhone?
    Thanks

    This is because your phone was previously jailbroken.
    You will never get the phone to activate.

  • Does anyone know why I can't activate my phone after restoring to factory settings?

    I bought my iphone from Ebay about a year ago.  I didn't realise it was jailbroken. When I updated the software before Christmas, I kept losing signal.  I tried resetting it and have now restored it to factory settings but now I cannot activate it.  Can anyone help me? Please?

    The jailbreak made unknown changes to your iPhone and when
    you restored the iPhone, it was relocked to the original carrier.
    Only that carrier can unlock the iPhone, and the jailbreak may
    prevent that from completing.
    Google might provide some assistance, but Terms of Service
    prohibit jailbroken iPhones in these fora.

    Hi! to answer your question.
    1.  Did you get this phone from someone else?- No I'm the primary owner of this phone.
    2.  Have you changed your Apple ID or primary email address?- No. I'm using the same apple ID I used to set up my iphone. I even tried to use the same apple ID in my itouch, it worked.

    how can i activate an ipad that was attached to someones icloud account.  I am not able to reach the person to have them release it

    You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.
