Activation failed...

it amazes me the iPad activation server seems to be kind of working instead of the iPhone one... Apple this is a PHONE, people need to use their PHONES
 
IT's kinda like calling into a radio station to be the 100th caller in order to win $100.00…..
 
Activation has failed for the past 45 minutes or so, bit frustrating considering I have to go out soon :/ trying to do it through wifi, as itunes seems to fail every time. Who has done it successfully? Was it through wifi or itunes?

Failed both ways for me on my iPad Mini.. Via iTunes or through Wifi directly on the iPad. I've tried about 50 times and times out each time.
 
Hahaha. So you all need your phones but then mess around with a new operating system the second it is released? Amazing.

But thanks for being the guinea pigs. I'll watch this unfold over the next few weeks and then decide.
 
Argh...at first I did an update and restore, and it worked fine. But then I just wanted to do a fresh install without all the pics and texts, and now can't activate phone.

Why do I do this to myself. :(

Are you kidding me? You say it like we're at fault for it. Trolling is fun, isn't it?

I was unaware that this issue is caused by the new OS. Oh, it isn't? Well then....
 
Does it make any difference doing it through wifi vs. itunes? I just tried to do a clean install on my wife's phone and can't activate. Will be leaving in 30 mins so I'll have to leave her my phone and I guess I'll take her's with me but I want to make sure it is fine activating through wifi on the phone itself rather than itunes.

Thanks.

Tried it both ways numerous times.. just ends up timing out. Funny part was I got iOS7 on my iPad on earlier and activated just fine.. Decided to DFU and do a fresh install instead of an upgrade and now it seems Apple's activation proxy is down.

no difference between iTunes and va WiFi, it keeps showing errors. Lol atleast they could improve activation servers, because now iPhone is useless :D
