"Could Not Activiate iPhone"

[montecarloss919]

Says my activation is still pending. And that they're sorry there was a problem connecting to the server and to try later??? Anyone else with this issue?

did you wait between tries or were the all done fast

 

[Viremia]

Same here. I wonder why? Could it be the other 150k people all trying to activate at the same time?

 

[montecarloss919]

4th try finally worked.

 

[FunkyMonkCP]

I just attempted to activate. Got the error. I'll wait a little while then try again.

 

[heyjude421]

2nd try worked. Yay.

i turned my phone off, and back on and tried several times until it worked.

Still trying, First on phone then on computer.

On 4th try here, still failing.

Update: Worked on the 7th try.

Still trying. 5th attempt. Damn AT&T and their servers. ;-)

I can't image what the scene must be like inside the retail stores if activation is taking this long.

 

[blkonblk17]

Same as all of you lol Still trying.. Siri is not happy to be kept waiting

 

[Hmm]

All of you, stop trying to activate your phones so I can get through!

The message you get on iTunes is confusing, because on the one hand it says it is pending, and on the other it says to try again later. So do I just wait or do I try again?

Finally, After 10 tries...

keep trying, mine finally worked. It doesn't matter. I did it through my computer. When it would tell me to start again I would just unplug the usb from the computers end and re-plug it and the phone is recognized by iTunes again and you can start the process over.
