My iphone wont activate after upgade to ios7

I have just connected my iphone 4s to itunes and installed the new operating system ios 7. it loads up with hello and you can select the language. it then gives me the error code
could not activate iphone
Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached.
Can anyone help please

It's because the activation servers are being slammed due to the release of iOS7.
The only things you can do are keep trying, or wait it out.

    what do u do if your iphone wont activate after u update it

    You contact the carrier it's locked to and see if they will unlock it for you.  Activation problems are almost always due to the fact that the phone was hacked to unlock it instead of being legitimately unlocked.
    Of course, this can also happen if you're trying to activate it without a SIM in it. You can not activate the phone without a SIM.

  • TS2811 my iphone wont activate after restoring it

    i bought an iphone 3g off a friend of mine and i signed up for itunes and i restored the phone but now it wont activate itself. What should i do?

    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.
    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?
    Unauthorized modification of iOS

    That's because your phone is/was jailbroken.

  • 3gs wont activate after latest update

    My Iphone wont activate after the latest update was installed, even when connected to Itunes it just say disconnect and install sim card, even though there is a working sim in the phone, any help would be gratfull.

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • My iphone wont activate

    For some reason my iphone wont activate and it wont take my user name or password, so i dont know what to do, can anyone help please

    That's because you can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid, & it must be present. You have no choice but to get a Vodafone sim in order to activate your phone. You can borrow one if you want, but you need to get one.

  • My iphone wont activate itself?

    can someone please help me... my iphone wont activate itself

    I fixed mine! Settings>general>cellular>cellular data. Turn cellular data off then back on. Scroll down to roaming>data roaming. Turn data roaming on. Turn voice roaming on. I messed with these 3 and it finally started searching again and activated.
    I tried all kinds of combinations prior to these as all of you have. Hope it works for your phone too. I also tried restore, DFU mode, airplane mode, reboot etc. Only the above worked.

  • HT2188 Iphone wont activate

    My iphone wont activate, it says there is no sim card inserted when there actually is. why wont it activate?

    That's often symptomatic of a hacked phone. If your phone was not hacked or jail broken, try a new SIM.

  • HT1414 MY IPHONE DONT ACTIVATE AFTER CONNET TO ITUNE

    You can do anything you like, but until the iDevice is successfully restored and activated, it is merely a paper weight.

  • I NEED HELP!! my iphone 5s wont activate after updating to ios 8 . what is wrong?

    hello! I updated to ios 8 two days ago and it was ok. I started using my iphone later that day and it just rebooted . Now it wont activate .

    look... I start my iphone and and it goes to main LOCK screen where a message is shown, the message is "activation needed" . After I slide to unlock  and write my security code it goes directly to the activation page , not to the very begging ,where you should select the lenguage but from the part where you have to chose a wifi connection . I connect to wifi and the activation process starts . On the screen is a message that tells me to wait a couple of minutes . After a couple of minutes there is another message shown on the screen where it tells me that the activation server is unreachable for the moment , please try again later . and this procedure can be repeated    a hundred times and the same message will appear . It wont eaven reset . Any ideas wat is rong with it
