iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..

Hello skyway9992,
It sounds like you cannot activate your iPhone 3GS after restoring it.   I found an article that has steps for troubleshooting an activation issue on an iPhone.
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
I have included the steps from that article here:
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 Apple for assistance.
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. 
Best,
Sheila M.

    my iPhone 3gs after restoration is not being activated ... can you help?

    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?

    WHAT is your problem?
    To activate it, you insert your SIM, turn it on, and follow the prompts on the screen. If you're having trouble, you need to tell us what is wrong.

  • Why cant i activate my iphone 3gs after restore ?

    please people tell me why my iphone 3gs will not activate after i restored it? its like this the last 3 days iv tried lots of thing but no joy ? help really appreciated please ?

    Is your iPhone jailbroken? Activation errors often come up with a jailbroken iPhone, and if yours is, there's nothing we can do to help in these forums.
    If you're certain that your iPhone is not jailbroken, Apple has some suggestions here that may help:

  • Not able to activate iphone 3GS after restoring

    Hi,
    I got one iphone 3GS which i got unlocked by AT&T.
    After unlocked from AT&T i have been asked to restore the iphone. after restoring i am not able to activate it.
    I am currently in india and using one Indian SIM card to activate it.
    Itunes is giving one message - There is no SIM card inserted in iphone.
    Do i need to use any AT&T SIM card only yo activate iphone?

    Ya, this iphone was working prior to unlocking with indian SIM Card. I tried 2-3 different SIM Card.
    Someone told me that i need to use only AT&T SIM card to activate my iphone 3GS.

  • HT4972 how to activate iphone 3gs after restoring?

    i restored my phone but its not activating now what to do now

    Either you do not have a SIM installed in the phone, in which case you need to put a SIM in it, or the phone was hacked to unlock it. If that's the case, it will not activate until and unless the carrier it is locked to authorized unlocking it.

  • HT201210 i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    Sounds like your phone has locked back up to it's original phone carrier.
    Where did you buy this phone from?  Was it ever locked to a different phone carrier?

    So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

    trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks

    Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
    If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
    Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only.
