ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.

    Hello AryanRajesh,
    It sounds like you do not have your Apple ID/iCloud password to activate your iPhone.  I recommend resetting your Apple ID password using the steps in the following article:

    Unfortunately, there is pretty much nothing you can do. Only the owner of the account used to lock it can remove the lock. If you can't contact whoever you purchased it from, or if they can't or won't remove the lock, then it's a brick. There is a very real chance that it's stolen.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • Does anyone know why I cant Activate my Iphone 3gs?

    Dpes anyone know why I cant activate my iphone 3gs,it says it cant be activated because the activation server is unavaliable

    If the phone was previously unlocked by an unauthorized method, it was re-locked to its original carrier when you updated.  It will now acivate and operate only with that carrier, using their SIM card.

    i want to use another SIM card cause im in another country now but i cant activate my iphone. Anyone?

    The iPhone is most likely locked to the network of the company you purchased the iPhone for. You'll need to contact the mobile provider to unlock it. They are the only one's who can unlock it.

  • I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

    You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
    Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
    All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
    Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

  • Bought iphone 5 second hand and cant activate my iphone because the owner forgot to delete previous apple id account

    please help anyone asap bought a iphone 5 of this guy but cant activate my iphone cause the previous owner forgot to delete his old apple account and now i cant activate my iphone 5 and i cant get in touch with the previous owner cause i dont know him haha

    Sorry, but you can't use that iPhone. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure; Apple won't unlock that device for you.

  • I cant activate my iPhone!! PLEASE READ AND HELP

    I cant activate my iPhone, as the current email address I have on the phone, I no longer have or cannot retrieve the password.. How can I activate my phone when its asking for my original details when it is impossible for me to get??

    You can't. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. Apple MAY be able to help if you have the original purchase receipt. Otherwise, without the original Apple ID, the device is worthless.

    Without that information you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • HT4623 why i cant activate my iphone?

    why i cant activate my iphone after update?

    It depends what kind of error you are getting
    If this is a 2nd hand phone, there is no telling what has happened to it in the past, whether it has been jailbroken, 'unofficially' unlocked or and what its 'Activation Profile' on Apple's systems is.
    The last is usually what causes issues. You phone could be locked to another carrier, or even an entirely different geographical region.
    Best step from here is to take it to an Apple Retail Store & have them look up its Activation Profile & see if they can DFU restore it to bring it back to life.

    it says ICCID: unknown
    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
