Troubleshooting iPhone Activation:


A. Getting Around this Error:

  1. Go Here: If you can't Activate your iPhone - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "If your iPhone can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable or the SIM card is unsupported, learn what to do."


B. "No SIM":

C. Whom to Contact:

Contact your Carrier, as their are the one who provide you with the service of configuring the SIM card:
