I can not activate my iPhone 3gs. What is the problem ? why ? Solutions ?
Good day! I just bought an Iphone 3gs and I did an update and now I can not activate it. It says : the actiivation server is temporary unavaliable. When Iam trying to do throught iTunes it says that there is no sim card (((. This is my first iphone. Please help !
There is nothing wrong with Apple's activation servers. They are up & running just fine.
We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request 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.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation

Then you'll NEVER be able to re-activate the phone. This is called Activation Lock & there is no way around it if you don't know that info.
You can try & recover the ID here:

As gdgmacguy stated, you cannot get help from this Apple forum
for a hacked iPhone.
Google may provide some direction. Be advised that depending what
software was used to hack your iPhone, a legitimate unlock may fail
and further attempts to restore your iPhone may result in it becoming
inoperative. Ask whoever jailbroke/hacked your iPhone for support. -
TS3694 can not activate my iphone 3gs after updating it
after updating my iphone 3gs i cannot activate it. it continously show the setup the language and the countrythen when it is finish the phone said that i could not activate because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. what should i do??
ok to cut to the chase.
That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
Then when you updated the phone your phone locked back to the original carrier.
Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock the phone.
You'll need to figure who the original carrier is. -
I can not activate my iphone 3GS because the activation server is temporarily unavailable and takes about an hour so I can do?
Sometimes the activation server is just not available for a short time. Trying again usually corrects this problem. But as Peter Gillespie suggests, if the iPhone you are trying to activate has ever been jailbroken, or the computer you are using to activate the phone has been used to jailbreak an iOS device then you will get the Activation Server not Available message.

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. -
how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....
If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier. The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

I have purchased iPhone 3g device from my friend, I connected it to the iTunes to upgrade from 3.1 to 6.0 as many softwares were not being installed as iOS was not up to date. I upgraded but now I can not activate my device. What I should do now??? i am really feeling difficulty because i have been disconnected from the network.
I am from Pakistan.The 3G cannot be updated to iOS6, it can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Activation issues are generally the result of the device being hacked or jailbroken. -

1. You could not have installed iOS 6.1.1, it is 6.1.2
2. It will get activated - if unlocked, with any SIM else you need SIM; active or inactive from the Carrier. -

ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking an iPhone.
Your phone was hacked. Not legitimately unlocked.
You can not get help here.
Try google or buy a new, legitimately unlocked iPhone that you can use. -
