Q: "No SIM card installed. Insert a valid SIM with no Pin lock to activate iPhone."
-
Jun 15, 2013 11:21 AMby alessi1,I called the provider and they handed it over to apple. But everytime I connect the iphone to itunes it's just telling me that the activation couldn't be done at the moment. Please try it again later or contact your support service.
That's why I have checked the status of the phone on the site imei.info. And there it said that the phone was unlocked already. How do I receive the information when the unlocking process is ready, just when I connect the iphone to itunes? Thank you for your help

The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone.

If you cannot activate the phone, you will not be able to use it as a iPod touch either. You cannot use the device without it being activated. See this support document for any other questions about using without wireless support. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

The iPhone is either carrier locked with a particular carrier, or if the iPhone was purchased as officially unlocked when new or has been officially unlocked by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with when new, the SIM card is from a carrier that is not supported as provided.
