iPhone, Unable to Activate Hi so I tried to update my iPhone XS Max to the latest IOS because my phone would not make calls or texts without the update. After the update my phone still wouldn't make calls or texts. So I factory reset my phone and it showed up with "Unable to Activate." So then I plugged it into my Mac book that updated to the latest Software Update and I put my phone onto restore mode and I updated and restored my phone, and it still would not activate. What should I do?

Unable to activate iPhone 7 Hi all, Having recently updated my iphone to IOS 13.3 I now cannot make or receive calls or connect to mobile data. I have followed all the advice online and connected my phone to my itunes to try and update it but every time it keeps telling me that an update is required. Nearing the end of my patience I factory reset my phone and it is nothing more than a piece of aluminium and glass as it now wont activate. When I go through the stages of manual set up Im getting the message " Unable to Activate! An update is required to activate you iPhone" and a blue shutdown bar. I have tried everything suggested on the apple support pages but nothing has worked. Can anyone please help me or point me in the right direction with this before this iphone ends up at the bottom of a lake? Many thanks, David
