Hi!

Can imagine that there are many who have had the same problem as me. 've Looked around a lot on the internet but found no answer so I write my own thread here instead ..

When I resume my 3gs related to the IOS 5 so it gets stuck already at the first steps, like this it says:

Iphone could not be activated because the activation server is unavailable at the moment. Try to activate by connecting the iPhone to iTunes and try again in a few minutes.

I tested both through networks and through itunes at least 50 times these past 24 hours but it does not work!

Thought jailbreak it first but I will not even enter the menu so it is welling out of the question given that I can not access Cydia?

Anyone know what's wrong? My friend said that maybe I needed to unlock it but I do not want to pay 40 dollars just to busy out the IOS 5 and I can not reset the phone either, because that itunes can not find the iphone device because it can not find my simcard strangely .

Grateful for answers! :)
