ITunes 8.2 rejecting phone number?

I have an original iPhone with the newest software. I currently use a go-phone Pay-as-you-go plan. I called AT&T customer support, and the assistant said that as long as the SIMS card is activated, I can use it on the iPhone. However, when I sync up my iPhone to iTunes to activate it, it keeps rejecting my phone number. The iPhone is unlocked and jailbroken, and whenever I input the phone number, it keeps telling me that it is unable to continue with activation. I tried my fathers number (Who has a monthly plan, not go-phone), and it went to the next step. However, I do not want to use his phone number. The number with my go-plan is activated, has an account set up, and has money and minutes put on it. I tried it on another phone and it worked. Any ideas why iTunes is rejecting the number?

If you installed 3.0 update and were not on an "approved", active ATT iPhone plan, you are SOL.
If you are using Pay as you go, you will no longer have service. You will need to switch to a regular iPhone with data plan.
"Pay As You Go rate plans are not approved for AT&T iPhone customers. Customers currently using an iPhone with a Pay As You Go rate plan should call 800-901-9878 so they can move to an approved rate plan with the required unlimited Data Plan for iPhone."
-> TUAW - AT&T signals an abrupt end for some prepaid iPhone plans

  • ITunes Summary Tab missing Phone Number info

    I know that when I connect my iPhone 3G with iTunes, at the "summary" tab, right after name, capacity, sw/build versions and serial number/udid; there has to be another line where it shows my phone number, but I am missing that for some reason. Is there a way to turn it on? Thanks

    Is your phone number entered at Settings > Phone > My Number?

  • Anyone have the iTunes UK/Ireland Support Phone Number?

    Hello,
    Apple is a labyrinth of discussions and tutorials, I'd quite like the simple phone number - Xmas is coming, and we need it fixed in the next 24 hours!!!
    The Help and Support phone number would be greatly appreciated, for iTunes v 7, for Windows, in the UK and/or Ireland.
    Thanks!
    Camilla

    There is no specific help line for iTunes, technical support would generally be hardware related and is free for a limited period and a limited number of calls when you buy something like an iPod. Outside of the complimentary period per-incident support is £35 (UK) or €49 (Ireland). However the technical support numbers are 0870 876 0753 (UK) or 1850 946 191 (Ireland). Lines are open Monday-Friday 0800-1945 and Saturday 1000-1745. I don't know if these time are any different over the Christmas period but you can give them a try and see: Apple Contact page

  • Plus sign in front of phone number

    I notice when I plug my iphone into itunes, I have the phone number "+1 (123) 456-7890"  what does the plus sign mean?  I notice several contacts also had it after updating to iOS 501

    +1 is the country code, or more precisely the World Zone, for the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which includes the USA, Canada, Bermuda and the Caribbean. +44 is the country code for the UK, for example. in the US you would dial it as 011-44-xxxxx, but in France you would dial it as 00-44-xxxxx. Using "+" means you don't have to know those details (011 vs 00).

  • Can a friend activate an iphone 4S that I purchase through my upgrade with her account and phone number?

    I want to buy an iphone 4S with my upgrade through AT&T and give it to my friend. Will she be able to activate it through her own itunes account with her phone number and AT&T account, or will the phone somehow be linked to my account and phone number when I upgrade so that no one else can activate it? I plan to purchase it through the AT&T website so it will be delivered to my home.

    Clean out the charging port--make sure there's no dust or debris in there.  If that fails to solve the issue, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • After activating my iPhone 4s, my phone number shows up as "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working. Any thoughts?

    After syncing my new iPhone 4s, my old iPhone is still working and the new one says No Service. When I connect to iTunes, it says my Phone Number is "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working.
    When activating initially through AT&T, I had no problems, but I've just never gotten service. Any thoughts? Could this all just be due to the servers being overloaded today?

    After waiting on hold for a long time, I talked with AT&T to determine that the ICCID and IMEI numbers didn't get changed in their system.  (I'm guessing lost in transfer due to the load on the system?).  They took down the info, disconnected the call (I had to call from the 3Gs - no landline), and then called me back on my 4s.  Problem solved.
    Hold times suck right now, but at least 611 calls don't cost you minutes and speaker phone is your friend

  • I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

    I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

    You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

  • IPhone 4G syncing with iTunes The screen does not show my phone number and backs up to an old file from four months ago.

    iOS 6.0 was available this week, so I updated my iPhone 4S. At first it showed a long yellow (other bar) of 10GB, then took the entire day to update my photos (about 20,000 of them.  So I tried restoring the phone and the message on iTunes was that I had restored from a different phone. Now I cannot get my phone number to show up on the summary page of iTunes. It says n/a.
    And it restores from a backup in June. And those are locked.  Any ideas how to get back up to date?
    Thanks,

    Never mind. It updated itself...

  • HT1918 I am unable to locate where to change the phone number that is associated with my itunes account.

    I am unable to locate where to change the phone number that is associated with my itunes account.  I have a new number and the old number is no longer accessible by me.  I've logged into my iTunes acct and it seems I can only change my appleID itself, my billing address info, and password and things like that.  I cannot find where to remove a number and add a new one.  I've gone to my mobile devices (iphone, ipad) as well as my mac and I'm getting a bit frustrated with it.  I'm sure there's a simple solution and I'm just missing it.  Going to settings>messages>send&receive....there is the old number and no option to make a correction.  I've unchecked it but why can't I add the new number?  On my iphone the ONLY option that shows up is my current number but when I set up my new ipad I have the issue described here.  I want this number completely removed from my account there has to be a way to get it out of the system.  
    Also when going to settings>facetime>you can be reached at:  shows email addresses as well as the OLD phone number with no option to make the correction, remove the incorrect number, or add a new number.  I figured this was tied in to my appleID since thats when it showed up (right when I signed in on my ipad).  So I went to itunes on my mac and went to my account and there I find AppleID Summary, itunes in the cloud, purchase history, and settings.  I've gone through each of those and am still unable to figure out where to change it.  Somebody PLEASE tell me where to find this data so I can change it.  I've seen multiple inquiries about this all over the internet but everyone's solution is to do exactly what I've already done.  No resolution to the real issue. 

    Apple will have it, but if there is ever a question/problem, the store that you made the exchange at will have it on record. 
    But if you're worried about it call 800-APL-CARE and see if they have it.

  • Can i have more than one phone number on my itunes account?

    My son and I use the same apple ID. He has a separate phone number to me and wants to use imessage on his ipad.
    How can I set up my account to use more than one mobile number?

    He would have to use a separate ID for iMessage in order to do this.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the ID used for iMessage.  To do this, have him go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.

  • HT2731 i live in Cambodia. can i set up an itunes store account with my information in my country? such as my address, phone number, ...?

    why need me to key in phone number in USA? I live in Cambodia.

    FYI, you've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question really isn't related to.
    But, the answer to your question is no. To set up an account in a regional iTunes Store the person must have a credit card drawn on a local bank and an address in the local country to create the account. The Terms of Service of the stores also prevent someone from living in one country and using another store.

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
