unable to activate

Hi I just received a new Iphone and was going through the process of of activating.

I'm connected to wifi. However I received the message.


Unable to Activate


This Iphone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

You can try again or connect this Iphone to Ma or pC?

anyone see that message before?

If your iPhone can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable [or cannot be reached], or the SIM card is unsupported, read this support article to learn what to do. "If you can't activate your iPhone [or iPad]" - click here --> If you can't activate your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support

- Note the special link at the end of the document for contacting Apple if there are still problems.
