I have had the same problem. Try and try again was the advice from my telecompany. I did and eventualy it worked. With my phone i had to try for five hours. With the ipad it was faster.

what's wrong with the activation server? i just bought my ipad wifi celllular... and have a 3g cellular network connection... when i press the bottom to activate my ipad it says the activation server cannot be reached. what to do then?
Hey aries35,
I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
Perform the following steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network 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 Apple for assistance.

I just downloaded ios7 and its saying i cant activate it because my activation server cannot be reached, what does this mean?
The Apple servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
Be patient and try again later. -

As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
Good luck. -
now my iphone is 3GS 32GB and now it is version 4.1 and i make an update to 6.01 and the update is installed but there is an error saying that the activation server is temporarily unavailable and saying try connecting to itunes and to activate and i do but nothing new i need a solve for my proplem now !!
That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier? -

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -
i have restored my iphone but it has been 2days saying that the activation server is not available. please help me.
That is almost always because the phone was hacked to illegally unlock it. Contact the carrier it's locked to and ask about having it legitimately unlocked. If they will not do so, you will not be able to activate that phone.

when am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?
The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424 -
I have a new device. When selecting the language and country I am trying to connect to a wifi connection and getting the error 'Your Iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting to your Iphone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
Where exactly did you get this phone?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
There are 2 primary causes for this.
Either you don't have a SIM in the phone, which is REQUIRED to activate it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it. -
I have downloaded and installed the new ios7 software on my iphone 4s but im having trouble getting through the activation process i keep getting the message "iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached"? any suggestions?
The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might need to wait and try again later.

My iphone will not accept my new password for my email account. It keeps saying that the yahoo server is unavailable. what is the problem and how can I get my phone to accept m;y new password so I can once again get my mail on my phone?
This may work, try deleting the Yahoo email account from your phone and then re-add it, using your new Yahoo password.
If that doesn't work, log into your Yahoo account from a computer and double-check that you are entering the correct password. Also, your password may be case sensitive, so enter it into your iPhone the exact the same way you created it.
Let us know what happens! -
