The iPad cannot send SMS, only iMessage. If you attempt to send a message from your iPad to someone who does not have iMessage, you'll get that error message.

Greetings anabeqiri,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
The advice and steps in this article may help if you don't see "None" as a payment option when creating your Apple ID:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
All the best,

HT4061 found old iphone 4. want to use it for wifi. But it wont let me into my iphone. it says activation required and then plug into itunes, then as soon as I plug it into itunes it flashes the apple logo on and off and wont be detected on itunes.

found olf iphone 4 or 4s in the back of my parents closet. They told me I could now have it back and its been a year since the last time I saw it. It wont turn on unless it is plugged up to a wall plug in. But as soon as I turn it on it says activation required then it says plug into itunes. After I try doing that it plugs into my computer but flashes the apple logo on and off. It wont even turn on all the way when plugged into computer...only the wall. ANY IDEAS?): and no I didnt steal/find this phone. It is mine. I dont have the guts to steal but a lot of people online have accused me.

You may need to force it into recovery mode. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766427#17766427

Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

HT201442 iphone 5 saying activation required why?

my iphone is saying it needs to be activated and it wont work

Were you running iOS 7 beta? If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta? Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum. Enjoy your iBrick!

My iphone 3GS says "activation required" "connect to itunes"

When i connect to itunes it says it needs restored. When I try and restore it, it says there is an error. The iphone just recieved a new battery if this helps.

an unknown error (3194)
Error 3194 means that iTunes cannot determine the authorization status of your phone because it cannot connect to gs.apple.com.
Possible reasons:
1. Your antivirus or firewall is blocking it.
2. Your phone is jailbroken or hacked.
3. You have used your computer to hack or jailbreak an iOS device in the past, and the program that you used to do it corrupted your network database.
For 1. try temporarily disabling your antivirus and firewall.
For 2. and 3. you need to find and edit the hosts file on your computer and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com, then save the repaired file, reboot your computer and try again.
Windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Mac: /etc/hosts
An alternative is to restore using a different computer.

IPhone got repaired by apple but when it came from the repair, the same problem was still there?

So yesterday i found out that my iPhone's screen is making a creepy sound when i push the upper right corner of the screen (loud and cracky) so i immediately took it to apple, the genius told me she can definitely hear the sound, she opened the iPhone and took a look at the parts (in case theres something broken) she explained me that theres some glue or some sort of detached component so they have to replace the phone screen. I agreed and later i came to pick my phone up, the exact same thing was still happening so i talked to another genius since the one serving me was already gone, this new guy told me he can definitely hear the thing but won't be taking it any further, said he's phone is doing the same, now trust me, non of iPhone's is doing the same, i owned every iPhone from 3g to 5, 3 iPad's and 2 iPod touch's but non of them did this thing.
I came home and i talked to apple support, they apologised and sent me to another store to ask for a phone replacement, we did choose the store together and they helped me to make an appointment, however I'm still afraid since I'm not sure the store will exchange the phone and the noise just freaks me out whenever i touch the screen. What should i do when I'm in store or is there anyone with a similar case?
My appointment is booked for today at 1:20, Covent garden.

You should be polite and say thank you when they give you a replacement phone. Check it before you leave, of course.

HT201263 What happens when you follow all the steps in this article, but your 4s repeatedly gives you an error code (9) and you've changed cords AND computers and nothing is working???

My mom passed me her phone as she couldn't get it to restart. I got it to charge and restart in recovery mode. However, I've tried all steps on this and many other forums and it is stuck in "trying to restore". On the phone, it will blink a white screen, show the apple logo and a progress bar then quickly disappear then on the computer give me error code 9. I have tried 3 different cords, on both my MacBook Air and my iMac. Same results on both computers. She purchased a new phone as she couldn't do without, but would love to fix this phone and give to one of my children. This phone has not been jailbroken. Any help would be sooooo appreciated! Not sure what will happen if I try to take this to Apple.

For stated error see this
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Quite likely that multi-pin dock connector of the iPhone requires cleaning or closer inspection.
