"Please wait until your phone has been activated"

I got a refurbished phone from Asurion and it took a while to activate originally. I was able to connect to wifi, add a google account, start updating some apps. I restarted the phone and now its stuck on "Please wait until your phone has been activated" I used the sim card that was included with the phone from the larger red card. Is there any way to reset it or activate it now?

Snn5 speaks the truth, your sim will need to be activated. If you are the kind of person who prefers to do things on your own, though, there is one more option. If you've already created a myVerizon account, sign in to that, and there will be a box around the top middle that will ask you what it is that you want to do. In this box, type "activate or switch device" and it will lead you through the process.

    All you may infer is the device hasn't been turned on where it can connect to Wi-Fi.
    The phone may be jailbroken if there is no lock passcode to prevent access. However, the phone can be completely erased and restored as new. In this case you will have no ability to locate it or prevent it from being jailbroken.

  • Wait until the session has been processed

    Hi folks,
    I have a report in which I create and trigger an SM35 session. I use RSBDCSUB report to do the same.
    Now, is there anyway to wait until the session has been processed? I mean, I need to do a few things in the report only after the session has been processed.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You could try checking the job status (table TBTCO) inside a DO or WHILE loop.  To pause up to 5 seconds between your lookup on TBTCO, you can call function module 'RZL_SLEEP'. 
    If checking TBTCO does not work out for you, you can try the same loop logic with a call to function module 'ENQUEUE_BDC_QID' instead of looking up the job status.  If the enqueue has been released then the job has finished.
    Regards,

  • On iTunes, while I will be putting a previous back up on my new 6, an error message saying '"your phone has been disconnected" will appear, but my phone will still be connected and nothing has been touched

    I need help.  I have tried it with the cord that came with my 6, as well as my iPad mini cord, and no matter what cord i use, it still shows "your phone has been disconnected", and no one is disconnecting the cord.

  • Is there a way to see if my stolen phone has been activated for use?

    My iPhone was recently stolen.  I have a feeling of who took it, but I can't prove it.  I was wondering if I have the serial number is there a way to find out if it has been activated for use?

    That would be between you and your carrier.
    Did you report the iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier?
    If so, do you know if your carrier has a blacklist that prevents a phone from being re-activated with their network after being reported lost or stolen?

  • Our records indicate that your phone has been replaced??

    I am trying to get some support for my iphone 3g, and when I entered the serial number I got this message:
    Our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide your product's replacement serial number to find its support and warranty coverage information. For more information, please contact us.
    I bought this phone brand new from an AT&T store and it has never been replaced. Any ideas why I would get this message?

    Call Apple and ask.

  • My phone has been activated for over a week, and now it just reset itself and won't activate.  What do I do?

    I had this iPhone activated at my AT&T store last week.  I have had no problems with it, until tonight.  I was using it and then the loading screen with the apple came up and it said activation required.  When I try to activate it on the phone it says the servers aren't available, and to use itunes.  When I go to iTunes and plug it in, it says the software on my phone has expired and I need to upgrade.  It was running iOs 7.  When I go in to iTunes, no updated iOs is available and I can not activate it, it shows up with all my apps and music.  What do I do?

    So I had to manually update form a download on the iOS dev portal.
    https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    I used A1429 but apples info link didn't help for me deciding, luckily the wrong download just wouldn't install.

  • If your phone has been flashed to Boost mobile, does Apple still provide care or does that void out the warranty?

    I have to leave the plan I am on so I thought about just switching carriers, but a friend suggested that I flash my phone to Boost mobile. However, I am not sure I want to do that because I am not 100% sure that I'd be able to walk into an Apple store and receive help.

    Changing the carrier to which your iPhone is assigned, without the carrier's approval, is not only a violation of your contract with the carrier, which may have civil liability penalties, it also is an unauthorized modification of your iPhone, which voids any and all support from Apple, for anything related to your iPhone.

  • TS3992 does icloud back up work if your phone has been deactivated?

    the apple store guy told me it would but the progress bar doesn't seem to be moving

    If you have jailbroken your iPhone then yes the hacking software would be backed up.
    If you haven't jailbroken your iPhone then you haven't been hacked.

  • "Microsoft" calls to tell you that your PC has been hacked

    I just got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. He told me that my computer was infected. 
    He said that Microsoft knew that the PC was hacked because of the error reports I chose to send them when the pop up came up.
    You probaly have seen the ones like this.
    This was ineresting since I know that no personal information goes to Microsoft when you send the error reports.
    Knowing that ther are a large number of scams like this, I asked for the phone number to call them back. He said that he would call me back. Then after pushing some more he gave me a bunch a random numbers.
    If you look at Microsoft's Forum and the have a thread called "Phone warnings from 'Microsoft.'"
    Bascially, Mircosoft didn't call me to warn me that my PC was hacked. Someone was fishing trying to get acess to my PC.
    If you get a call, beware.

    Too many people are flooding Apple's servers, everyone is having this issue, try every so often, or wait until tomorrow.

  • My phone has been set up previously for itunes on my lap top but my phone now shows the connect to itunes message even though the phone is connected....Ive tried every thing I can think of ...now I cant use my phone ..please help ?

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

  • Got a message said "your iphone has been found ,please fill a form "-real or not?

    My friend lost his iphone, his friend got a message said "your iphone has been found ,please fill a form " where you need to provide your icloud confidential .
    Looks really same like the apple office site.
    <Link Edited by Host>

    It is a scam. If your friend gives their Apple ID and passcode, the thieves will be able to bypass the activation lock on the phone.
