Why is my iPhone not activating?
I purchased a 'for parts or not working' iPhone 5s on eBay, and replaced the screen. I noticed before anything else that the sim card trey looked like it was just shoved into the sim card slot. It took a little bit of work to get it loose, but now it goes in and out no problem. The phone is on the 'Hello' screen, and recognizes the sim card, but never activates. Some times it asks for iTunes to be connected, other times it says it outright can't be activated due to the servers being down. If I connect it to iTunes (when it says it needs to be connected) iTunes just returns with an error, saying 'iPhone failed to activate, please try again later'. If you need any more info that would be useful, just let me know. I tried to explain as much as I could, but I'm sure I left out some details.
