    If you can't activate your iPhone - Apple Support -

    If you're using a cellular data connection, try connecting to a reliable Wi-Fi network instead. If a Wi-Fi connection doesn't work, try connecting to iTunes.

    If you're using iTunes to activate your iPhone, make sure that iTunes is updated to the latest version.

    1. Contact your carrier to check for network or activation issues, or if necessary, to replace your SIM card.
    2. Use recovery mode to restore your iPhone.
    3. If restoring your iPhone still doesn't work because of an activation error, contact Apple Support.

    Here are the reasons you might get the message that the Activation Server is unavailable:

    • It really is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. You can check its status here: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    • Your antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com. Try disabling it.
    • Your router's firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com or to a port that it requires (443).
    • Your phone is jailbroken, or it was at some time in the past.
    • Your computer was used to hack or jailbreak some iOS device in the past (not necessarily the device with the current problem), and its network database was corrupted. Hacking includes using some questionable apps such as recboot, reiboot, Tinyumbrella, redsn0w, etc.

     

    For the last possibility inspect your computer's hosts file. If there are any lines in the file that reference gs.apple.com that is the explanation. You will need to rebuild the hosts file.
