TS3899 Unable to Activate iPhone... Now it can't be used

I have a phone owned by my corporation that was factory reset upon an employee leaving the company. The phone is asking to be activated and I'm unable to do so, and cannot get the previous employee to do so either. How can we get past this?

I am aware of it Now, After the fact. From what I can tell there's also no way through exchange active sync to force a user to not use this option. There isn't even a way to force a user to use a corporate email address for their apple id, as they can just use a different id whenever they want.
The anti theft device appears to Not be working as the actual owner of the phone is now unable to use it.
Thanks for the "help"

    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.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?

  • HT4061 unable to activate iphone 3gs with itunes

    I was recently given an I-Phone 3 GS by my daughter in law.  The phone had not been used for several months and was naturally dead.   I bought a charger and was able to charge the phone successfully but am unable to configure the phone and activate it via i-tunes.   The phone had an Orange network SIM card in it which, i was advised may have been deactivated during the months of non usage.   I was also advised to buy a new Orange PAYG sim to see if that worked but still unable to get the phone activated.
    The phone displays no service message so does not appear to recognise the Orange SIM, also on first attempt to activate with new SIM i received message stating that the "pairing information was not found".  Since then just get "unable to activate iphone at this time" message from i-tunes.
    Is anyone able to offer any advice or am i flogging a dead horse with this phone?
    regards
    popcol

    Not sure if it has ever been modified before, i'll have to ask my daughter in law.
    i'm not familiar with iphone(i have htc, for shame:-))  Cydia?   i can get no further than entering language, country and WiFi connection before it trys then fails to activate.
    Thanks  for the reply

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

  • My new iphone say unable to activate iphone at this time, contact customer support

    i bought my new iphone 4 yesterday, and when i switched it on it says unable to activate iphone at this time, contact customer support.

    Where did you get it from? I would suggest to try and connect your phone to your computer with iTunes and try restoring.

  • Mobile me is now closed, can i still use find my iphone?

    mobile me is now closed, can i still use find my iphone?

    If you have an iCloud account, yes.  You enable it on the iPhone by setting up your iCloud account.  Then, in the iCloud account settings, enable the find my iphone feature.  Now you can log in to your iCloud account via a web browser and track your phone (or use the find my phone app from the iTunes store on another iOS device).

    If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer.  Then sync your phone with iTunes.

    Only the carrier can unlock a phone and I am not sure if Verizon is one of those which will.

    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
    iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
    The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
    The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

    I never said that there was, perhaps you imagined it.

  • ICloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.

    iCloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (It it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
    Assuming Snow Leopard, iCloud has not been deleted - it was never there. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
    This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s? Can I still use Find My Phone?

    How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s?
    Can I still use Find My Phone?

    You cannot use Find My iPhone without iCloud.
    If you want to sign off of your iCloud account on your iPhone, you go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and sign out. It will ask for your password so it can turn off Find My iPhone before removing the iCloud account from your device.

  • Error message that my iPhone and iPad "can't be used

    I have just installed the latest version of iTunes. I am getting error messages that my iPhone and iPad "can't be used because the required software is not installed". It asks me to uninstall and reinstall but I've done this and am getting the same message.
    Thanks.
    Sam

    You have it set to automatically set the time and date.  To do that it has to be able to reach out to iCloud to get the time and date and something is blocking it from being able to do so.  So either need to fix the network/Internet connection or set it to not automatically set the time.
