HT4623 Unable to activate iPhone 5

I have an active sim for my iPhone 5 and still not being able to activate my iPhone 5 please help thanks

The message means the sim you're trying to activate your phone with is not from the carrier your phone is locked to.
Where did you get this phone?

    There is no such thing.
    Once the unlock request has been processed by the carrier, the unlock is completed by restoring the phone using iTunes.
    If the phone was hacked to unlock it before you requested a legitimate unlock, it may no longer be possible to get it legitimately unlocked.
    Try restoring the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions). If that doesn't fix it, you can try making an appointment at the genius bar and see if they can help you, but if they determine the phone was hacked, they will turn you away.

    Generally 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?

  • HT4061 unable to activate iphone 3gs with itunes

    I was recently given an I-Phone 3 GS by my daughter in law.  The phone had not been used for several months and was naturally dead.   I bought a charger and was able to charge the phone successfully but am unable to configure the phone and activate it via i-tunes.   The phone had an Orange network SIM card in it which, i was advised may have been deactivated during the months of non usage.   I was also advised to buy a new Orange PAYG sim to see if that worked but still unable to get the phone activated.
    The phone displays no service message so does not appear to recognise the Orange SIM, also on first attempt to activate with new SIM i received message stating that the "pairing information was not found".  Since then just get "unable to activate iphone at this time" message from i-tunes.
    Is anyone able to offer any advice or am i flogging a dead horse with this phone?
    regards
    popcol

    Not sure if it has ever been modified before, i'll have to ask my daughter in law.
    i'm not familiar with iphone(i have htc, for shame:-))  Cydia?   i can get no further than entering language, country and WiFi connection before it trys then fails to activate.
    Thanks  for the reply

    Since it was previously jailbroken, it's almost certainly "bricked" now.

  • Unable to Activate iPhone 5s for Sprint in store pick up

    I was one of the lucky few who preordered the iPhone 5S at BestBuy.com, but when I came in to the store to pick it up, the employees were unable to activate the phone. Sprint had a notice posted on the Best Buy register about an issue with invalid IMEI numbers and that the problem was being fixed ASAP. Hours have passed and I haven't been able to find out anything new. I had to leave my phone at the Best Buy and was told to try back later.
    Does anyone know if the issue has been fixed yet?

        Hello willreinking! I am sorry to hear that you're having issues getting your phone activated. The first thing to do is to make sure that the SIM card number has been updated on your account, so your device is able to program. You can update it on My Verizon. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc  If it's correct, the next step is to remove/reinsert the SIM card to start the activation again. Please let us know if this continues, so we can get it fixed for you.
    Thank you,

  • Unable to activate iPhone / Stuck in iTunes

    Hey guys,
    hopefully you are able to help me with this.
    Got the old iPhone 4 from my father. I set it all up and everything looked fine except that the iPhone can't connect to my carrier (it says "no service" and is not even searching). So I contacted my carrier this morning to check if my new SIM-Card is activated - It is according to them (I'm not able to check the SIM-Card in another phone).
    My next step was to do a backup, restore the iPhone and hope that it'll just work.
    After connecting the iPhone to iTunes (11.1.3.8 on a PC) it now says "Activate iPhone - This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID xxx (the Apple ID I set up yesterday on the phone and NOT the one my father used!). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this phone". Perfect, I thought, despite I was wondering that I'm getting this message now (First time connecting this iPhone to iTunes I was able to get to the normal syncing options where I can restore and check for updates etc.)
    After typing the correct Apple ID and pw, iTunes is displaying "Connecting to iTunes store" for a few seconds and gets back to the screen where it wants me to enter my Apple ID and pw. I'm not getting any errors.
    It is no problem to connect to the iTunes Store via iTunes. iCloud is also working perfectly.
    Any ideas why I can't get through the activation process in iTunes?
    ... or any suggestions how to solve this annoying problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    Kagey....  I figured it out.   In iTunes...under "devices"...where it is supposed to say the name of the phone "Dan's iPhone".  I just kept clicking in the blank space where the name was supposed to be and it finally gave me an option to type the name in.   You have to find the "magic pixel".  Keep trying....it'll work.  I was persistent...

  • HT4623 Can not activate iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 6.1

    I was happily using my iPhone 3GS v4.1 till my son upgraded to IOS 6.1. Now it shows "could not activate iPhone". Please help

    Was the phone hacked or jailbroken to use it with a different carrier than the one it was locked to? If it was then it is again locked to that carrier, and there is nothing you can do about it that can be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.
