    This is most likely because it was jailbroken.  In which case, your phone is now permanently disabled.

  • IPhone 5 could not activate cellular data on Sprint.

    So I preordered an iPhone 5 and it came scratched. But I activated it and used it just fine before my Genius Bar appointment on Sat. So Genius Bar gave me a new phone and apparently she had trouble activating the new one when she switched sims. It was searching and then activated when I left Apple.  Got home an hour later and it said INVALID SIM. I called Sprint and was able to activate it. BUT when I went to use Safari, I got COULD NOT ACTIVATE CELLULAR DATA. Called Sprint back and was on the phone with him for almost 2 hours and he did everything and we couldn't get it to work.
    I went to the Sprint store on Sunday and he couldn't fix it. So then today, I went back to Apple. After 2 1/2 hours, I left the store with a new phone that wasn't even activated. What the heck is going on?!

    I am facing a similar problem. After boot the 4S starts with all the bars and 3G, but suddenly it starts to drop to E, than to GSM, after that "looking for service" and last "SIm is invalid".
    Sometimes I have problems to send SMS.
    I'm using TIM in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, and I have tested with another SIM and in another 4S with the same results.

    Typically activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • Iphone 3gs could not activate

    Hi
    Just brought Iphone3GS off ebay, it was locked to O2, so went to local market, had it unlocked inserted Vodafone sim and all was fine.
    brought it home and upgraded in itunes, it has now seemed to have locked itself again.
    I've brought new O2 sim and inserted that and still now good.
    Phone shows no phone signal but is connected to wi fi.
    O2 sim works fine in another phone.
    Iphone tries to do activation, I select language, location, etc and wi fi, then it goes off to try and activate, but keeps failing.
    Can anybody help?
    Adam

    It keeps locking because you had someone besides the carrier "unlock" the phone. You need to contact O2

    O2 is going to be able to assist you with legally unlocking the phone if they can. Ebay is a risky proposition as many of the phones there can not be unlocked properly because of a bad account standing. I suggest always researching the phone before you purchase

  • HT1766 iphone 3gs could not activate after trying to update to new version

    in the middle of updating, the itune shows that the iphone was not installed, but it is. Have try numbers of time but still the same, anyone can help me on that??

    This is most likely because it was jailbroken.  In which case, your phone is now permanently disabled.

  • HT1688 My Iphone reads "Could not activate iphone" My computer doesn't give the option to restore it. I am not sure what carrier it is for, either.

    I recently bought an Iphone off a woman at work. She had just bought it for her daughter to listen to music on and play games. She said it was showing the "connect to itunes" symbol. When i got it, i hooked it to my computer and Itunes just tells me the phone cant be activated. Itunes doesn't give me an option to restore the phone. I'm not sure what the carrier is for the phone, but there isn't a slot for a sim card. How can i restore this phone?

    If the iPhone does not include a SIM card slot, this means the iPhone is a Verizon phone.
    Not sure how the daughter of this woman you work with was able to use the iPhone just to play music and games without activating the iPhone with Verizon - if the iPhone was purchased new. None of a new iPhone functions work without activating the iPhone with cellular service. And if purchased new, that was one expensive iPod Touch for her daughter to use if the iPhone was purchased without a contract or the contract was cancelled paying Verizon's early contract termination fee.
    I would return the iPhone to her and get your money back.

  • Iphone 4s official unlocked from at&t could not activate

    After the official unlock my Iphone 4s, I can not activate my Iphone. I send you Screenshots with problem.
    ITunes says: "Your request couldn’t be processed. We’re sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
    IPhone Says "Could not activate iphone' 'You Iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily  unavailable" 
    This goes on for several weeks. On different computers and different wi-fi networks. On the same network  successfully activate other iPhone. This Iphone Not activated as a SIM card AT&T, and with the local simcards. i trying restore iphone in recovery mode many times. This Iphone never be "hacked'
    My name is Artur , i bought this phone on eBay , but I'm not the resident of USA . ModelNumber:  MD271 (white 4s, 64), SerialNumber: C3*******TDR
    This iphone official unlocked before activation.
    The answer from one of the forums:
    Good evening. I looked your Imei.
    This is a problem more and more often. The fact is that when you first activate the phone is logged into the database of the operator to which he is attached to the server and Apple.
    If you do the unlock before the first activation, the phone is removed from the database of the operator and to the base of Apple, he never misses. As a result, the phone just hangs in the air.
    And it can not pass activation. Itself it does not pass. I know of only two ways to resolve the problem.
    1) Call to Apple.
    My friends say that engaged Fix this problem, but his services are worth $ 100, so I did not check. But the reviews are good. In your place, I would have called in Apple.
    I called AT & T, they said they do not have access to the activation server Apple
    I called Apple, the conversation lasted more than an hour, but the problem persists. Maybe they did not understand me because of bad language.
    Please help.

    "12/13/12 We regret to inform you that since yesterday afternoon the Apple server has been updating. This creates a slower than normal process time, we anticipate that the service will be back to normal no later than tonight"
    I saw that somewhere. could be the reason why?

    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.

    Do you have a Sim card from the carrier the iPhone is locked to in the iPhone's sim card slot?  Without one, you cannot activate the iPhone.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.
