Active Armor unable to activate - Error Code 13-20-403

I've been unable to activate Active Armor on my iPhone 13 Pro Max for a couple weeks now after a factory reset. I've tried the following:

- deleting the app, restarting the phone, downloading the app from the App Store, and attempting to activate

- resetting the device without a backup

- resetting the device with a backup

- deleting the eSIM and creating a new one

- tried to activate from different geolocations

- tried to activate while on WiFi and while off

- verified by iOS version is up-to-date (17.2.1)

- removed and readied Active Armer to my line

The full error is as follows:

We hit a snag

The system is currently unavailable.

Try again later. Error Code: 13-20-403

Anyone see this particular error before? Any suggestions on what else I could try?

Thank you in advance!

I will note that I contacted AT&T Support via 611.  After checking with the "back office" it appears there is a system issue that will take 6 to 7 business days to resolve.  At present, they've told me to leave the Active Armor app installed on the device.  In 7 days, I am to remove the app, reinstall it, and try to activate Active Armor again.  

With a giant dose of skepticism I'll do as asked...will report back either way.

I’m having the exact same issue and hasn’t been resolved on 3 lines on my account. I did call tech support and spoke with them and was told there is no ETA on a fix and it’s a “trending” issue.

Hi StealthOps!  It's been 7 days now and the "wait & try again" method support recommended hasn't worked.  Maybe with it trending we'll get a real resolution.  Figure it's all backend so we're stuck waiting for them to identify & fix.  Hopefully soon.  Cheers!

I am also having the issue, although my error code is slightly different. It's "13-20-500". I freshly downloaded this from the app store, so I'm not going to waste my time deleting and reinstalling the app. I'll try it again in the coming weeks, but if it doesn't work, I'll delete the app for good.

I clicked a link at the bottom of the start-up screen to send logs to the developer. Let's hope they figure this out.

Why is this not fixed yet? I pay enough for phone service I would expect this app to work. It’s been going on since November

I gave up on it after no change...guess I'll revisit later in the year.  🤷‍♂️

This happened to me a few months ago.  I left it to resolve later, but recently wanted to get it activated on my other 2 family members phones.

I was able to add it on their phones, but I still get the 13-20-403 error trying to activate on my phone.
