Just connect your iPhone device to a USB 2.0 port on your PC or Mac via the USB Cable or the Dock Connector which comes with the device. And you can also use the option of using ‘iTunes’ to finish your activation. After that carefully follow all the instructions which are there onscreen in order to activate as well as to set up the device. To Switch On your iPhone, press and hold the On/Off button just for few seconds. First insert the activated as well as the compatible SIM Card (for iPhone 3GS) or the micro-SIM Card (for iPhone 4 as well as iPhone 4S) into the device. Just follow the below mentioned simple steps, if you wish to activate the iPhone: I do not have any special tech background. I hope this story makes it to someone important at apple, and I hope none of you had to or have to spend hundreds to replace a functioning device. It also was about a 2.5 hour total time involved in the Apple store once my commute is included. I am glad I spent a few hours researching this problem and solving it myself, but I am very disappointed that it could have been resolved in a few short minutes by an Apple tech. Telling me to spend hundreds replace a perfectly working device is terrible customer service. However, this problem is clearly a software, and possibly iOS problem that Apple should take responsibility for. I understand that I have had my phone for 2.5 years and I am outside of the warranty window. This problem could have been resolved immediately with the PC we had (same PC used to later fix the problem).Īpple's 'Genius' also wrote me off. My wife's phone was clearly working and mine failed, yet they refused to provide any assistance. I was not operating or abusing the phone when it failed, nor has it ever been jail-broken, or any other kind of abuse.Īpple passed the buck right out of the gate. This problem was clearly caused by a bug in software/firmware. I am very disappointed that Apple so quickly wrote me off. This was clearly caused by some sort of corruption to the firmware.

Worst case, if it were a damaged cellular card, it should as a minimum continue working as a wifi iPod.Ī lot of research, trial and error was done when I got home. I refused to accept that my iPhone was now a paper weight. I spoke to a 'Genius' for about 10 minutes, during which time they restarted the phone, tried another SIM card, and told me it was out of warranty. It took a few days to get an appointment at Apple. Verizon told me to go to the Apple store. It also did not activate with iTunes when I got home. It would still not find a cellular signal. However, this completely locked down my phone on the activation screen, failing each time. They did the same things I did, but they also tried another SIM card and did a factory reset. I went without a phone for the rest of the week, then visited Verizon upon returning home. None of these interventions changed my situation.

Downloaded most recent iOS but it failed to install (iOS 8.2) remove SIM card, blow out (both powered on and off) That option was not available to me, so without success, I attempted the following. I spoke to Apple support on the phone and they said connection issues were a Verizon problem, not an Apple problem and to go to Verizon. It still had wifi and worked like an iPod would. I believe my problem is the same as yours, and that the airplane mode was unrelated. (Note: I never jail-broke my phone, opened it, I was not using it when this occurred) I turned airplane mode off after completing my trip, but my phone never again obtained a signal. I put my phone on airplane mode for this reason. I planned to be out mountain biking and wanted to conserve my battery for an emergency. I was on vacation in the mountains where I expected to have low signal.
