Iphone 5 won't activate

Recommended Posts

Friend asked me to sort his iphone 5S and load a PAYGo sim. Apparently it's had a full re-set. It appears to be (second phone) unlocked.

 

1. fitted a Giffgaff £1 card, registered it but not paid the fee (£5) as yet.

 

2. phone starts and shows signal bars and 4G.

 

3. asks to choose wi-fi or mobile connection.

 

4. wont link to talktalk wi-fi despite different passwords etc.

 

5. Neither will activate through mobile connection. (activation server cannot be reached).

 

Any advice welcome.

Wifi, you're probably just entering the password wrong, the iPhone sometimes auto capitalises the first letter, so make sure that's correct...

 

as for activating through mobile connection, it's because you haven't topped it up yet....

Ok, I'll pay for the top-up and try again, it's just that I thought it might connect but prevent me from phoning out.

Still no success (server cannot be reached, it says). The minutes are now active, and the first letter of the password appears in small case. I can access my router with the password I am using.
