I just updated my iPhone 3Gs from iOS 4.1 to iOS 6.0.1 through itunes... and now I ounld not activate my iPhone ... The iPhone says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to acivate it, or try again in few minutes
If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"
Any one can give me a solution for this problem ....
iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.2
We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.
Restore the phone again using itunes. But ofcourse back up before doing that.
