Can I buy a prepaid SIM card for my unlocked iPhone 4S?

I have an unlocked iPhone 4S purchased in Costa Rica where I live. I'll be visiting Michigan in July and August and would like to use the iPhone while there. Can I buy a prepaid and rechargeable SIM to install in the phone while there? If yes, what's recommended?

Probably, but it's always recommended you use supported carriers. Prepaid is a rather iffy subject, you probably won't get a whole lot of help here, but I suggest buying a StraightTalk Nokia E71 (has to be this phone), and finding a guide elsewhere for the prepaid activation.

  • Where can I buy a mini-sim card for my iphone 5 in Norway or Denmark or France?

    where can I buy a mini-sim card for my iphone 5 in Norway or Denmark or France?

    This original post is mine
    I wanted to clarify that Verizon has unlocked the phone for me before I left the US
    The international sim cards that I have been able to locate in Norway are caled Mycall or Lebour.
    They are labled mini-sim cards but do not fit nor are they as small as the original Verizon one.
    I am out in the country-side now but will be in Bergen, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark over the next few days.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • How do i get the nano sim card for my unlocked iphone 5c to work on verizon

    I bought an iphone 5c from Apple last week, after my iphone 5 screen shattered. 
    I was told I could just insert the sim and follow the directions.  Turns out, that the one I purchased does not work with the phone/carrier.  Where can I get a nano sim card that will work in my iphone 5c on verizon network?

    I did not get the ATT or T-mobile phone. I boutght the SIM-Free phone,  which says it requires a GSM Compatible SIM.  Does this mean I cannot use any verizon sim in the phone? Or any unlock code?
    You bought the wrong model of iPhone. Return it and buy the model specifically for use with Verizon.

  • Can I use a foreign SIM card in my unlocked iPhone 4s?

    I Bought a second hand iphone 4s which was on Vodafone, then was unlocked for me by Vodafone to use on T-Mobile in the UK. I am moving to Germany in 2 weeks and want to know if I can use my unlocked iPhone with a German SIM card as my main phone? I don't want to have to buy another iPhone! Any help gratefully received!

    For what it's worth - I travelled to the US for a one year period and I lived in California. The reply above is correct in stating that AT&T or T-Mobile are your only options.
    To be honest, all you need is voice calls that aren't roaming as WiFi is pretty freely available - at least it was wherever we went.
    You could just get a PAYG Sim card from one of the above providers - it was relatively inexpensive for us to use for a year so it should be perfectly adequate for you to use for three weeks.
    Yes - there won't be data over Edge or 3G but as I said, WiFi is readily available.
    The only issue will be converting an ordinary PAYG Sim into a Micro Sim for your iPhone 4. There are lots of videos showing how easy it is to cut one down - I guess you just want to make sure that it doesn't get stuck in the phone!
    The other simpler option would be to leave your UK SIM in place and just turn off data roaming so you can only use WiFi. Then go and buy yourself a cheap PAYG phone from a Target or Walmart or similar. T-Mobile charged us $25 per PAYG SIM from their store whereas we realised we could get the same SIM with a cheap Nokia handset for $20 from the supermarket.
    That way, you only need to make sure that you don't use your UK number for calls etc as US roaming isn't cheap.
    Hope this helps.

    I'm traveling to Europe (France and Lithuania) with my iPhone 5s.  I would like to buy a local SIM card for use while in each country. Some sources (Verizon phone support) say this is as easy as buying the card and inserting in place in the slot. Others (Apple Genius) say I must completely restore the iPhone if I replace the sim card. Still others say I cannot use a local sim card. Can you help me find the correct information? Thanks for your help.

    That's a wonderful question, ssmiley67. The iPhone 5s comes unlock for international use. Many of our LTE devices are unlocked for international purposes and work upon inserting the international SIM in the device.

  • Can i activate my twin sim card in a new iphone 4s while being in the States?

    Hi all! I live in Cyprus and I'm travelling to the States next week. I'm planning to buy the iphone 4s from an apple store (factory unclocked) and I would like to know if I can activate the twin sim card I purchased from my carrier here in Cyprus. The carrier is vodaphone and the reason I bought a twin sim card is that I already have another mobile device which uses a sim card. The people at the carrier's office told me that in order to activate the seond sim card (or twin card, both sim cards use the same phone number) I need to type #103# to swtich between the devices. If I was going to do this in Cyprus, it will work, but what about doing this thing while being in the States? Can I put the new sim card in the new iphone 4s that I'm going to buy, type #103# and then the sim card will be activated? Or should I need to do somethine else?
    In case I cannot do this or if there is an alternative plan (e.g., activate the sim card using a friend's iphone 4s while I'm in Cyprus?), I would be glad to hear it.
    Thanks in advance for your help!!!

    In my OPINION, you will not be able to activate your SIM issued from Cyprus while in U.S.A. The simple logic is, your "future SIM" will be on roaming in U.S.A. and in order to search for the signals for roaming partner carrier and get registered (provided that there is a roaming partner of vodaphone Cyprus in U.S.A.) it needs to be activated first. So, you need to activate your SIM in Cyprus to be able to use it with a compatible roaming partner in U.S.A.

  • Do I need a different SIM Card for the new iPhone?

    Do I need a different SIM Card for the new iPhone?

    The iPhone 5 will come with a new SIM Card in the iPhone ready for you to activate. If you want to make things a bit more difficult, you can cut a Micro SIM to the Nano Sim size with scissors. Of if you have any problems with your iPhone 5 and its SIM Card you can get a new one from your Carrier. But, again the new iPhone 5 will come with a new one for you.

  • How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

    So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&T. So how do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

    If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
    This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.

  • Where can i buy an airport extreme card for my powerbook

    Where can I buy an airPort extreme caed for my powerbook? are they even available, if not how can I go wireless ?

    eBay is a good source, though as ever, buy wisely and make sure you get the right card for your specific model.
    Alternatively there are wireless cards available that go in the card slot. Again eBay is full of them but be sure they're OSX compatible -  its a good idea to put this phrase in your search terms.
    I can vouch that this one works as I'm using it now:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAGEM-PCMCIA-AIRPORT-54MBPS-WIRELESS-WIFI-CARD-MAC-OS-X-/4 00124141388?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item5d2941df4c#ht_3229wt_ 886
    It just plugged straight in and was recognised as an Airport Card. This is from the UK site but I'm sure you can find the same thing wherever you live, or at that price just have it shipped.
