Cannot Activate IPhone 4s With New Sim Card Or Through ITunes
Aug 20, 2014
So just bought a secondhand iphone 4s and I bought it through paypal but I need to activate it through my carrier. Thing is I put a new sim card in it and it wont activate. ITunes even says that I cant activate it through that. I need it asap my old phone is dying. also I have emailed the seller about this.
Could not complete the itunes store request. The store may be busy. Try again later. This is the message I have been getting for 2 days now trying to activate my Asurion refurbished iphone 4s. A replacement they just sent me because I dropped my original iphone 4s and shattered the screen. I use Verizon and tried activating it through their website using the MEID # to no avail either.
I paid $500 dollars for this phone 3 years ago. Two years ago, I cancelled my service with AT&T because they were too expensive. I've been using my iPhone 3Gs as my MP3 player for those two years - never with any problems. Tonight, I plugged my iPhone into iTunes for the first time in a long time, downloaded the new software update, and now am unable to "activate" my iPhone. I don't want to activate my iPhone. I want to use it as an iPod like I have been. I paid $500 dollars for this thing. I'm not signing up for another contract. How do I get my iPod back?!
I live in Spain and I bought an iPhone 4S in a Spanish Vodafone Store, along with a pay as you go sim. I have come back to England for a break and just bought a Vodafone pay as you go sim card to use when I'm in the UK so I don't get charged "roaming" fees. However, the phone says the sim is not valid and says I need to enter the sim card I got with the handset.
It doesn't seem to make sense to me as I haven't tried to insert a different network provider's sim card, and even now my Spanish sim card is using "Vodafone UK" network, so I know they are linked.
I have a used sim card that i need to use on my iphone 4. When i try to activate my phone, it wants my apple id i used to activate the orignial phone. I don't remember it though. How do you know what apple id you used.

I'm the lucky man who found a lost iphone. I managed to recharge the battery with my ipod wire, and now I'm trying to use it. The phone is, right now, like an ipod but it seems to don't recognize my sim card. I checked the firmware version, is 3.1.3 (7E18).The operator is "Orange switzerland 5.2" First of all, is any sim card good for an iphone? And if so, what should i do to make the phone work with mine?

So I got a new factory unlocked iphone 4s and I wanted to use it as an ipod and I was wondering can you activate the iphone with a unactivated sim card?
It was working but signal from etisalat carrier was not so I turn it off until the apple logo appear but it cannot reboot it. Then I restore and updated the phone with itunes but know this message appear " There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate." The Man who sold me this iPhone told that this phone is from America and I thought it would work here like any other phone but in this case it doesn't work at all.
After I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.2 I can not activate iPhone.It is written " The simcard inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.Only compatible simcards from supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone.Please insert the simcard that came with your iPhone or visit a suppported carrier's store to receive a replacement simcard". Before upgrade I can use the simcard.

I just reset my phone back to its original settings. I cannot now reactivate it. It keeps telling me that I cannot use thhe appleID that I am signing on with. This is my apple ID that I have always used.
