Updated my iphone 3gs to ios 6.0.1. Receive message "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". The phone could not read my Roger iccid. I tried with wifi and itune. Could not access restore on itune.

I can not activate my iphone 3gs after updating to ios 6.0.01. I tried connecting to the activating server by wifi and itune. Keep getting the same message"your iphone could not be activated because the activiation server is temporary unavailable". It could not read my Rogers iccid. I try to restore my phone on itune but it does not have the "restore" icon. Please help.

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.0.1

If your phone was previously unlocked by a hacking method, when you updated the hack was removed and it's now re-locked to its original carrier. The phone will now activate and operate only with that carrier and using a SIM card from that carrier.
