I am trying to activate my iphone 7, however I am getting a message that this iphone cannot be activated for service, please contact your service provider or apple.
I am able to see the 4G network if i put a sim in the phone, but not able to get past this message.
I have tried updating and restoring the phone to no avail. Please help.
