temporarily unavailable 5 c (Sprint) iPhone activation server

I just bought an iPhone Sprint 5 c to a friend when he upgraded. The telephone service and everything worked well, he took his iCloud and reset for me. However, during the installation process, it refuses to turn on and I can't use the phone. The error reads: "your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is currently unavailable.". I've been through this configuration 50 times intant connected to iTunes, restored 3 times (for iOS 9.2.1), removed the SIM card and handed to, I tried clean Apple support for activation problems, the works page. Sprint said to contact Apple, but the phone is obviously more warranty and he even had a few cracks. I highly doubt that they would replace the unit under these conditions. What can I do to make it work? I am currently on a phone entirely and would appreciate any help as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

    Trying to activate an unlocked iphone 4S I get the message that the iphone could not be enabled because the server is temporarily unavailable?

    very rarely the activation server is busy.

    Only the carrier that the phone is locked is allowed to unlock.

  • 9.3 your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

    Downloaded the new software 9.3 on IPhone without a problem, for IPad 2, it says: your IPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.

    Tells me to connect to ITunes to activate, when I do that, it says Apple does not recognize the device. This has happened for hours. Any clue whats going on?

    It is more likely to occur when a major update of iOS was recently released, because so many people seek to activate at the time, and sometimes the Apple servers get overloaded. Try again in a few moments, and maybe a reboot of the strength of your iPad.

    To force the reboot:

    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple start-up logo appears.

  • iPad2 will not be 'activate' after update-"activation server is temporarily unavailable."

    IOS downloaded again today for my ipad2, but not "activate", tried several times during the last hours 7, get message ' could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable, try to connect your iPad to iTunes "but can't do it because I can't use the device!  I've never had problem in the 3 years I've owned the device.

    When they say connect to iTunes that they intend to use iTunes on a computer to try to restore the device. He has worked for some.

    Or you could wait it out and see if Apple fixes things.

  • My iPad 2 could not activate after installing 9.03. Say... could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailalble. I tried to 'activate' for four days... went to an Apple store bar 'Genius' and still no solution.

    I have an iPad 2 and before executing the last IOS 9.3 update, it was a camera works perfectly well. I don't have any iCloud upward. I have the valuable photos and info on my iPad that I don't want to lose!  Now I can't even use it!  He failed to activate after the execution of the update and is now in an infinite loop.
    The display shows the following:

    Could not active iPad. Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try to connect your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple if minutes. If the problem persists, contact Apple support. .... Try Again... and again...

    I was 'Try again' for four days and spent a day at the Apple Genius Bar store.  They could not find a "fix" and suggested I send my iPad in California and pay for data recovery, because the next step would be to wipe my iPad!  ***!

    I understand that you're angry about the issue of server activation, but sittuations as why it is so important to backup your data using iTunes or iCloud. You never know when you might have to restore from a backup.

  • While the iPhone overseas requires a reactivation, which sometimes works, but more often does not work. At the beginning he said that my SIM card was not supported by the activation policy assigned by the activation server.

    Apple says call Verizon. Verizon said, you guessed it, call Apple.

    When I return to the States, everything works fine. I thought that the replacement of a SIM card would do the trick, so you can imagine my dismay when the activation warning came after I took the phone off airplane mode after I landed in Dublin and the activation warning came new.

    What is going on?
