  • Just bought Iphone 3GS updated it but cannot activate??

    Hi I have recently bought an Iphone 3GS on EBay (advertised as unlocked) I connected it to Itunes and updated it to 6.1.3 now I cannot activate it.
    Is there a way I can access the phone at all to get the EIME number as I know that support will ask for that when i contact them.
    HELP

    If you purchased a phone on Ebay advertised as unlocked, then it has probably been jailbroken to unlock it which is why it won't activate. 
    Not a lot you can do now so think on!

  • Cannot activate iPhone 3GS!

    I was given an iphone 3GS by my father who got it as an upgrade on the orange network, he had no use for it so gave it to me. I, in my ignorance, inserted my o2 sim card, it worked for half an hour then shut down. It then sat in the box unused for a few months while I waited for my o2 contract to run out and I have now got a new orange contract. I took the phone out again, DFU restored it after it being locked, went through the settings until I got to the activate stage. It is now telling me that it cannot activate and to try through itunes. However itunes tells me there is no sim card! I have done everything it has told me to no avail. The phone has never been unlocked, officially or unofficially, so I dont see why it wouldnt work after restoring the factory settings. Its an orange phone, orange sim card. Please help!!!

    I have already contacting Apple about this problem as they said no-one else could reslove it i.e carphpne warehouse etc... Mine had been jailbroken so i thought it had effected it in someway, but ive tried everything and cant get it to work.
    Apple told me i wasnt under warranty so therefore i would either have to send it to them (as they'd not heard of this problem before) OR i go to my nearest Apple store, which is over 100 miles away for me. I asked how much it will cost to send it to Apple she said £126.56..And that was just to look at it. She did however say it would be cheaper going into an Apple store, but not much. I said forget it and bought another second hand phone as it worked out cheaper. My other iphone remains the same and keeps saying unable to activeate iphone. Sorry i know its not much help really but possibly if someone else finds out the problem they could let us know?!! here's hoping anyways.

  • Have an iphone 3GS, 2 email accounts.  My work email account used to work.  Now if I send any emails from this account it only appears in my sent box.  Recipients internal and external do not receive.  IT person cannot figure why occurring.  Any insight?

    Have a iphone 3GS; 2 email accounts.  one is for work.  It used to work fine until about Feb 2011.  Now when i send emails from my work account it only appears in the sent file.  Recipients do not get email.
    IT person looked at it & cannot find why this is happening.
    Any insight why this is occurring??

    This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
    If a message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent. If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox.
    What happens to a message after it was successfully sent has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device used to send the message.

    The typical cause is that the device has been hacked or jailbroken.

    why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

    ''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    There are several common causes for this problem:
    Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
    Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

  • HT1414 I dont know why bt ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with my any sim card, so is there any way to fix this. Im from India

    I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with any sim, so is there any way to fix this please? Is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware? I purchase this iPhone from USA and Im using it in India. Please help me...

    This means the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. The 3GS was not sold in the US as officially unlocked.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked or installing a firmware update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new. In this case, re-locked with ATT.

  • I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP!

    I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.

    Hi there,
    if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
    If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    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, either get a sim card from the carrier your 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.

  • Cannot activate my viber after i update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs..can u please help me...the the code is ok but if i activate...its being error.

    cannot activate my viber after i update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs..can u please help me...the the code is ok but if i activate...its being error.

    @theViberTeam .
    I'm having trouble with Viber.
    A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
    When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??
