Getting Activation Code:


Contact Apple Support:

Ask the Apple Rep to assist with the log in over the phone. See fi they'll allow you to get the code elsewhere. Your goal here is to add a trusted device, as those are the devices that will get the code. So, have the Apple Rep allow anther device to get the code: About Trusted Phone Numbers and Trusted Devices for Apple Account - Apple Support

Contact ApleSupport. 


No success?...

Take to an Apple Store:

You'd setup a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store, taking it in for service. There, they'll assist you with this.

Troubleshooting iPhone Activation:

Getting Around this Error:

  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.
