[QUOTE="superckara, post: 1354518, member: 232943"] Hi all, I am new to this forum so I hope to find some answers here. I have an iphone 3GS which I purchased in the US. When we moved overseas 6 months ago I had the phone jailbroken here in Turkey so I could begin using it here. I have a SIM card from a Turkish cell carrier. It worked fine for months but this past week I stopped being able to send and receive texts, and then I was having a problem with calls too. So today I did the iphone update that was being prompted anyway on iTunes. Now my phone is acting like it's back to the very beginning and needs to re-activate. When I try to re-activate on iTunes, it says there is no SIM card installed (but there IS one in there, and I've taken it in and out multiple times). When I try to re-activate using my home wireless, it says that the "activation server is currently unavailable" and to please try again later, but I have a feeling that's not the real problem. I don't think I'm updating my iphone at a busy time for Apple's servers. My phone is obviously not working at all at this point or taking me to the main familiar menu. So I can't adjust settings or anything. I can't seem to get past this "activation" step. Any idea how to proceed? Is this problem related to being jailbroken?? [/QUOTE]
