IPhone 4 activation not working
I bought an iPhone 4 from my friend today. He reset the phone. Now after I pick my location, and connect to Wi-Fi, it says "Activation request could not be completed. If the problem persists, please contact customer care." I believe it it saying that because i did not put a sim card it. But since the phone is AT&T, and i have t-mobile, i wanted to unlock it first before getting a micro sim card. But if i get a used AT&T sim card and put it in, will it activate my phone? Or should i just get a t-mobile micro sim card it activate it that way if it would work… Also, since i'm not the original owner, i did not purchase the phone, will it ask me for information when i activate it (ex: email, address, ect.)?
Also, i tried hacktivaing (activating) the phone with sn0wbreeze, but that didn't work. I have 6.1.3 if that matters.
It will not work with any other sim card, only with att but you can unlock it and then it will with any network. Your friend can call att and ask them to unlock it for him if it is over the two year contract or pay to have it done
- Why isn't my sim activation working? So i bought a second hand Iphone 4 of my aunt and it is a vodafone carrier. I rang orange today to activate my sim card which had arrived this morning and they said that it was activated but the text messages that i was supposed to receive haven't come through. I was just wondering if the phone is locked and that's why they haven't come through or if it is because the activation hasn't occurred yet.
- SIM card from carrier not supported under the activation policy? I have an iphone passed down to me when the original owner upgraded. (its legal right?) I had my SIM card cut down size and now the phone tells me the SIM is not valid. The first owner was on contract with a company which is different to mine. Mine is EE. What do I do? I'm sure i'm not doing anything illegal.
- My old iPhone 5c won't turn on even though it was working fine a month ago and has just been in a drawer since. How can I get it working? I upgraded my iPhone a month ago and have been experiencing problems so I need to get it fixed. It will be weeks until I get it back so I decided I d use my old iPhone 5c until then. But I can't turn it on, it was working fine last time I used it a mo th ago. I tried charging for hours and hours and holding sleep and home buttons etc and it still won't come on. My charger is fine. How can I turn it on?
- IPhone not fully charging and home button not working? My iPhone 4 only charges to 10% and stops. After it turns off it charges back to 10% and stops so it doesn't even get passed that. How do I fix this? Also home button doesn't work I have to turn my phone off to get out of an app
