trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks
Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only.

Follow these steps to see if it resolves your issue: (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148)
You may also want to contact your carrier for to make sure there isnt a issue with the carrier service.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.
Hope this helps -

please help me < when update my i phone 3G < i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect
Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

But it got stuck and now my itunes is displaying Error message: "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" and my iphone is without service. While i am trying to activate my ihone on wifi also it doesnt saying servers are temporary unavailable try after sometime. Kindly suggest
It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked. -
when restoring cannot pass message (There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.) and there is a active Sim card inside. How can I get Pass that message?
Was your phone locked on a carrier and you unlocked it by jailbreaking ?

The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes,bcoz i hv installed ios5.0.1 for my iphone 3g.can you tel me how to solve dis problem?
I’m having the same issue.
My phone indeed has no SIM card. I kept the 3GS after upgrading to an iPhone 4 and I was simply using it as an iPod Touch.
As far as I had been told, I was perfectly OK to do that and it had been going fro update to update without any issue up to now.
The problem is that iOS 5 requires a new activation, and that this model cannot be activated with a valid SIM. Obivously, I’m not going to take a new line with AT&T ad pay $xxx every month just to be able to activate my previous phone.
I contacted AT&T but they had no clue how to get out of the problem and said it was in Apple’s hands anyway.
I tried restoring 4.3.5 on the phone, but so far I haven’t been successful :-\
I’m open to any suggestion

I upgraded my i phone 3gs from 4.1 to 6.1.6 then the above problem arisedI too am having this problem. All I want to do is use my iCloud backup of my phone to fix a bug in IOS 7 that loop-prompts me to connect to iTunes. Anyone that has an answer to to OP would be greatly appreciated. There have been almost 3000 views on this page and only 8 posts that aren't much help at all so far. Enough with this 'Do you know how to read' white-space. I'm here for answers!!!
However, I suppose I already have the answer. This is simply another example of Apple using their software to limit consumers of certain demographics (namely, people who have the phone but don't pay for service from a carrier). A SIM card is only required for activation because the software administrator says so; and for no other reason. The hardware is there and its perfectly functional otherwise. I shouldn't even need to activate in the first place. Just restore my freaking phone!! -
When connected to i Tunes to re-activate i phone following downloading recommended updates the message 'there is no Sim card installed in the iphone...' comes up - have taken out Sim card and tried again but same result. Have tried re-activating dis-conected and message comes up saying server not available try later, which I have with no success. Any ideas please?
When you reset your iPhone, it relocked to the wireless carrier was
originally locked to. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking
and if you qualify.
