I factory reset my iphone 5

I had abit of trouble with network coverage and as a last resort, factory reset my iphone 5.
When I turn it on now, it goes to the activation screen, tries to connect to to Wi-Fi, does.
Then it says "activating your iphone (it may take a few minutes).
after a few minutes it then says… "Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it."
I try itunes, and the same happens more or less.

Taking the iphone international?

So I've been wanting to get an iphone for a while now, but I'm planning on moving to France at the end of the summer.

Is there any way that I can get a monthly contract with an iphone without having to pay the full $550 for the phone?

Don't you think Apple should change the next iPhone upgrade to IPhone?

If they capitolized the first letter of iPhone (as IPhone) it would convey a stronger more confident message. The iPhone 5S will be coming out soon, and with enough attention I believe they would call it IPhone 5S and have a better chance of succeeding. Same goes for the IPad, and the ITouch.
