If your device can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable [or cannot be reached] check the things in this support article --> 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.
