Updating an iPhone:

What iOS is currently installed? Go to: Settings > General > About. From here, try updating through use of a computer. If any updates are available, they will install, sure enough. Use my User Tip:  Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip


Activating an iPhone:

  1. Go Here: If you can't Activate your iPhone - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: If your iPhone can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable or the SIM card is unsupported, learn what to do.
