Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:

  2. Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
  • Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
  • Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.

Restore the iPhone.


If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
