Hello mzpartia,
I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
Resolution
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.
Take care,
Sterling

after updating my iphone 3gs to ios6 a message "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." pls help

I have the same problem after updating to the latest iTunes. I purchased an iPhone 4S this past summer and gave my 3GS to my 6 year-old minus the SIM card-- an instant iPod Touch. Things were fine until the latest version of iTunes 11.0. Until I updated to 11.0.1, iTunes would not even "see" the iPhone.
How do I get past the insistence to activate the phone? Right now, it's a useless brick.

HT4972 I tried to update my iPhone 3S with iOS, data was restored but on continue with activation in the iTunes stores, it is replying "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." what could be the reason?

Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

HT4623 i reseat my iphone 4 through i tunes after that i got this message. we 're sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or contact customer care

i have some software problem, so i resear my moble through i tunes after install factory settings i got this message, we are sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or contact customer care. no i cant don any thing with my phone.

Is your phone jailbroken or ever been hacked?
Was it previously locked to a different phone carrier than the current one your on now?

Activation message: We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care.

Hi,
Installed AT&T SIM card then activate it, it's OK.
Thanks for all.

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?

"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"

I bought a new iPhone 4s from a electronics shop here in Norway today with a norwegian network. When I tried to activate my iPhone, I got this message:
"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"
I also tried to activate the iPhone from the phone itself, but it gets stuck when I try to type in the PIN-code and tells me that I have to write in the PUK-code, even though I haven't typed in the wrong PIN-code. I've tried to hard reset the phone, reboot the computer and turn off the firewall, but nothing worked.
Could this have anything to do with the fact that I've changed network provider, and it's going to take about 10 days for the new SIM-card to work?

Hope you already found a solution, if not try this:

What's to do next? Thanks, LuAnh

Same issue, and here is one solution.
for some reasons the hosts file (in windowsSystem32driversetc on the computer I was using was redirecting the apple certification address to something else.
I just had to reset the hosts file on windows, and it eventually worked fine !
Trying from another desktop/laptop would have fixed the issue as well.

This message indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
Then when you updated/restored your phone it locked back up to the original carrier.
Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it.

If the iPhone was hacked and unlocked via unofficial means, it has become locked again. Insert original SIM in the phone to activate with iTunes.

Ask the person who owns the iPhone.
Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
with the black and white icon or a different one?
If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
Google may provide some direction.
