Activation failed...

been hitting try again for an hour and a half now. Have tried using iTunes, over wi-fi, and over LTE.... nothing has worked!! Going to give up now, guess I'll just have a bricked phone for a while.

Good work apple!

sad part is it's honestly probably only going to get worse as more people are starting to get off of work/out of school and now the activation servers are going to get even more hammered. Will be lucky to have a phone by tomorrow!!
 
Looks like it's working now. Was able to get past and start restoring my phone via iTunes.
 
did the GM upgrade last week but decided to do a fresh wipe today just to make sure app testing was done in a fresh environment

now the phone won't activate and I can't get anything done at all! And I'm terrified to upgrade my testers and employees for the same reason

very disappointed :( people have been getting it to work just through trial and error?
 
trying for 30 mins, no success, common i would understand if it wont be possible to download iOS 7 or smt like that, but no activating? it is the most important thing…. o_O
 
No activation potential fix!

WORKED!

I took my sim out and hit retry three times and it asks for a sim...after putting the sim back in it work first try!
 
I'm always amazed at people who want to be among the first to come here complaining when there are delays. If you're smart enough to be posting here in a geek-oriented forum, you're beyond smart enough to realize that this might take longer than you anticipate. So don't come whining about needing your phone. Calm down, take a deep breath, go get some dinner/lunch/etc. and try again in a bit. Your irritation won't speed it up, it'll just make your blood pressure rise. Enjoy a few minutes doing something else, it'll be fine soon™ (for Blizzard Fans!)
 
I'm trying to go back to iOS 6 due to the pending jailbreak release! My iPhone activated fine but my iPad is being mean about it :mad:
 
BAM! Just got through too. Looks like the situation may be resolved(?) iCloud backup restoring now. Hopefully that goes well. On the bright side, I was able to check out iTunes radio on my Mac while I waited.
 
Just got through also. Apple must have made some adjustments on their end. Seems like lots of people suddenly reporting success.
