Hi.
So my phone one morning started searching for signal so I changed the SIM card thinking it was the issue but it persisted the i thought it might of been a iOS bug since I upgraded the software over the air so I proceeded to do and upgrade using iTunes after the process was over now the phone won’t Activate.

Which carrier are you using?

 

[now i see it]

An iPhone doesn’t need a SIM card installed to activate the phone and log into your iCloud account. It can be done over Wi-Fi.

If you can’t connect to your cellular provider, try inserting the SIM card again - or try resetting network settings or contact your cellular provider.

After I updated using iTunes it won’t activate even over wifi. It just give me an Can’t connect to server error.
