I recently udated my iphone 3GS to ios5.1 and it went straight in to recovery mode after and i had to restore it, now it wont activate and doesnt recognise the sim anymore. I have tried restoring again. It says to try and connect to itunes and start again, but itunes says there is no sim inserted.
After I updated my iphone 3GS it restarted and then my iphone no longer recognized my carrier. It says No Service in the top left corner, and it will not let me activate my iphone. The itunes says that there is no sim card, but the iphone was working fine this morning before I updated it.
I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 8GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with my AT&T sim card and I know that this Iphone is from AT&T and I recieved it as a graduation present yesterday, so is there any way to fix this please? And I know that other users are having the same problems with the Iphone series after updating to IOS 5.1.1 is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware?
ever since i had the update 5.1.1 for my iphone 3gs it has notbeen able to detect any sim and it is unable to activate, also before i had the update my phone worked perfect with the sim i am using atm which is giff gaff (runs on o2-uk)
So heard of a guy who is providing a service of selling sim cards for iphone that are permanently activated with calls/text/internet (unlimited, not 2gb a month).You won't have an account but the kicker is that you won't have any monthly bills!!! You get a new number.Is there a method of doing such a thing?Or is it a scam?
 just update my iPhone 5s the software 7.1.2 , after this my phone need to restore , i cant use my apple id to activate my phone , i had confirm the apple id and password is correct ,it show me cant not be used to unlock this phone . i cant manage my apple id at apple wedsite , so my question is how to activate my phone .
I want to sell my phone, and was wondering if the proper thing to do is wipe my phone, activate it, and THEN remove the SIM card. Or do I only have to wipe it and remove the SIM card and not worry about activation?
When you guys are getting your new iPhone 4s (mine is sitting in Memphis, TN and will be here tomorrow) are you "restoring from backup" to put everything you had on your old iPhone/3G/3GS onto your new iPhone 4? And if so are you running into any issues?
I'm trying to figure out if it would simply be better to activate my phone as new to avoid any headaches and worry about transferring everything later, but I can't seem to get some good information from those that have done either or. I'm afraid I might brick a new iPhone 4 if I try to restore it from an iPhone 3G 3.1.3 backup, or does it not work that way? I.e., will it just tranfer the files/music/pics/video/contacts/texts/apps/etc. to the iPhone 4 but not touch iOS4, or will it screw my new phone's OS up?
Also, I have been using an old Sony Vaio Windows XP laptop that was my primary iPhone 3G sync buddy, but will be switching computers next week when I receive a new i7 27" iMac. How do you move iTunes libraries to a new computer and re-associate your iPhone(s) with the new one?My iPhone 4 will be deactivating my old 3G and re-associating that account and phone number to the new phone. (rendering my 3G basically just a 16 GB iPod Touch) So what is the proper procedure when getting the new phone?

I just started using my old blackberry pearl 8130 again about a month ago and I realized I needed to update the software on it. When I went to do so it told me I would need to activate the device wirelessly. What does this mean? Should I worry about my phone not working correctly after I update it?

For whatever reason when I load up my camera app, only the front facing camera will work. i have gone through all the settings in the camera but nothing will let me select the main camera. i've had it for 3 days and it's worked fine till about an hour ago. the only thing I did was install angry birds and hanging with friends. everything else seems to work fine on the phone. here is what i've tried to correct the problem so far:
-removed angry birds and hanging with friends -removed all apps i've downloaded since i got the phone -did a factory reset
