I have two phones, one (4S) with Bell in Canada, the other (5, soon enough) with ATT in the US. Since I spend more time in Canada, I'd rather the 5 up there. Can I swap the sim cards? Neither phone is unlocked.

iphone 5 will use nanosim instead of microsim so that one won't work
you could check you with carrier to see if they will give you another sim though but I dunno if the ATT 5 will have the right data bands so you might not get LTE or w/e

I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck. -
Typgood .. I would like to work together I have an iphone 63gs 16gb, I do not read the sim card in itunes gave him the option restore and now I get on the screen that you can not do iphone activation would help me. I'm from Colombia
Activation requires a SIM card.
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -

how do you unlock an ipad mini so you can use an overseas sim card, how do you unlock an ipad mini so you can use an overseas sim card
iPads are not "locked". Get an iPad data plan and sim card from a local provider and connect to their 3G/LTE service.

Each time I turn off my Maxx, it locks the SIM card, need PUK to unlock
Each time I have to turn my Maxx off, it locks the SIM card and needs the PUK number to unlock it. I'm so sick of this. Can anyone please help me? TYIA!
Hello Matthew,
When I got my phone, I wanted to lock it so it required the 4 digit PIN code to get into it. I did that, using the "Set up SIM card lock" function, and, I just checked "SIM card lock settings" and it has a check mark beside "Require PIN to use phone". It has never been set up for encryption. I've only had it a few weeks. I never tried to set up encryption, nor did I do anything that made the PUK number be required after my phone has been turned off. It just started after I'd had it a couple of weeks. I'm going to be traveling by plane quite often, and will have to turn off my phone. I'm not sure what to do at that point. Any help you can give me will be most appreciate!
Thank you!!

Can I swap out Sim cards from my iPhone 4 to my new 4S?
I was hoping I could so I don't have to wait for AT&T to activate my 4S. I've been trying for almost 4 hours with no luck. I don't see why I can't but I'm not an expert at all. Seems silly to waste my current sim card when it works perfectly fine.
Your SIM card is your identity on your carrier's network.
It allows them to track you, the bandwith your voice and data xfers worth, and to bill you accordingly.
Therefore, you cannot just swap the card as it has to be activated by your carrier on his network. -
I purchased an iPad 3 this summer. I have looked & searched that thing and cannot find a sim card tray, where is it?? does it have one??
If your iPad does not look like this on the side, you have the Wi-Fi only iPad.

I have a 4-s and a 4 I changed the sim card in my 4-s and now my wifi is not working, grayed out in fact, I also noticed that the modem frimware was an older version now on the 4-s than the 4, HELP
The modem firmware has nothing to do with the SIM card or WiFi. Was your 4S EVER jailbroken?, See this reguarding grayed out WiFi setting:

How do you insert the sim card to iPhone 4
On the side of the phone, you should see a little slot that you can see in this picture:
Place a bent paperclip or sim card removal tool if you have one into that black hole and the sim card tray should pop out. You can then insert a new sim. -
Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3
Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
No, which is not possible.
What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget. -
every time I swap between my SIM cards with the iPhone all the messages that we're sent whenever the SIM card was not in my phone never show! is there anyway I can stop this and still get the massages?
Hello SeamusFitz,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
In order to get your messages to show up on your other phone, you would need to have a backup of the phone with the messages, and then restore the new phone from that backup.
According to article iTunes: About iOS backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 iTunes will backup your Messages.
iTunes will back up the following information
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?
Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it." I cannot place my iPhone 4s sim card in it (too small), and i do not want to get a new contract or sim card for an iPhone that i do not ues very much.
Thanks for your help, but i cannot borrow a noral sim card now, my family has all up graded to iPhone 4s's, i have done this before, but one of my family had the same type of iphone so i could use theirs. Now i am the only one who still holds on to their old phone... I am not sure about buying an adapter...
