I can i activate iphone which i buy in america. now i am useing it in india.

I had a i phone 4s which i buy in america and now i am useing it in india when ever i put my sim card in it shows that you iphone is not activated.
what can i do?

Is your iPhone still locked to an American cellular provider?
If it was unlocked, how was the unlock obtained? Have you
recently updated your iOS version or restored the iPhone?

  • I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

    how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

    You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to.  With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password.  That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

  • Can't activate iphone

    Help! Can't activate iphone. When phone is connected via USB 2.0, get windows message that iphone is camera and to select program (eg microsoft word, sonic) to launch action. itunes 7.4 version doesn't recognize iphone either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Puppy is correct.
    There is no work around to get the iPhone to work with your computer.
    Since you bought a GREAT phone,
    maybe it's time to get yourself a GREAT computer to go along with it.

  • Can't activate iphone 5 ios7 connected to another apple id

    can't activate iphone 5 ios7 connected to another apple id (Old apple id was not mine)

    Hi alain961!
    I have an article for you that can help you with that question:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Can I activate iPhone 4S with a SIM from one country and then use with a SIM from another country?

    I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4S from an Apple store in the U.S. and I am in Guatemala. I want to use it now but later on I will move to New Zealand. Can I activate it with a SIM card from Guatemala and then use it with a SIM card from New Zealand? I am just wondering if it will get locked with the Guatemalan SIM card. Or does it just need a SIM from any supported carrier and then it remains unlocked to use with any other carrier? Thanks

    David,
    As I (mis)understand it, you may:
    1) Copy one orange gradient path to the magenta gradient path document;
    2) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to None;
    3) Select the orange gradient path;
    4) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to Gradient.
    That should give you the desired replacement. For multiple use of the same gradient, you may consider a gradient swatch.

  • Can not activate iphone with my apple id

    Hi,

    About my apple id, a month ago i change primary Email and vefiry..
    Now i can login to both appleid but can not ACTIVATE IPHONE..
    Pls help me..

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot enter the previous Apple ID and password you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • HT4972 I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. why?

    I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. I'm appreciating the signal "no service". I do not read the card. what can I do about it?

    Was it hacked, jailbroken, or "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?
    This is symptomatic of a hacked phone that has been updated or restored. If that's the case, it is now a brick.

    Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
    I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
    See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3425746?start=75&tstart=0
    I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

  • Vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.
