IPhone SIM in Other Phone

Hello
I'm thinking of getting an iPhone, and one thing I'd quite like which I've received several different answers for is the following. If I want to (occasionally) use my old phone (a Sony Ericsson K750i, so not a 3G phone) for situations where flashing an iPhone about is a bit risky, would it be possible to just drop the iPhone SIM into my old phone? The O2 shop said the iPhone will come with a new 3G sim which can be used in a non-3G phone, but reading around I've seen people having problems with this. Obviously I wouldn't get 3G functionality on the old phone, but all I would need is calls/SMS.
Thanks in advance

No you can't. The iPlan is specific to the iPhone. In most phones, you will find that you won't get any data coverage with the iPhone sim, just text and voice. In some phones, people have been able to get some data access, but that is subject a charge per kb upon ATT's review. Some people are lucky and it's slipping by. For most people it doesn't work. And for some, they are getting back bills for the extra kb while using the other phone.

GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.

Anyone try to put their iPhone sim in another phone?

Has anyone tried to put their iPhone SIM into another phone yet? Does the phone work? Does it get data? Can you get voicemail? etc?
I put the Apple iPhone's sim into my Blackberry curve and the Curve would never show "EDGE" it would only get to "edge". The lowercase "edge" means that it can't send/receive data. The phone portion worked fine.
Wondering if anyone has been able to take the iPhone SIM card and put it into a RAZR/Treo or something and see if it can access the EDGE data network.
I

It is not recommended but possible. You will still have access to the data network and have unlimited data so you don't have to worry about being charged extra. However you will be forced to use normal voicemail, the visual voicemail feature will not work on another phone.
Also, don't loose your sim. You can take the iPhone sim and put it in the razr, but can't take a Razr sim and put it in the iPhone.
And the type of internet (edge/umts/gprs) is determined by the type of device you are using, and of course the network you are on. if the device only uses edge, you won't be able to boost it to WiFi, etc.

Why can't anybody get the photos I send them from my Iphone 4s? I've sent it to blackberries, iPhone 3G, and other phones - nothing has been able to get them!

Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send? Do you have a data plan on your account? Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.

To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

Can i use my iPhone sim in another phone?

My iPhone wont turn on! Ive tried holding the two buttons for up to 5 minutes at a time and putting it on the charger and Nothing
I was thinking can i take out my Sim card and put it in another phone? What about in a another phone not a iPhone?
HELP im dying here

You don't. The iPhone stores no data on the sim card. The only thing on an iPhone sim card is your carrier/provider account info.

How can I use Bluetooth on my iPhone to discover other phones?

I recently tried turning on Bluetooth on my iPhone to try to discover my wife's phone. My wife has a Samsung Eternity phone. Her phone was in discoverable mode and my iPhone never could discover it. I also tried this with my friend who has an iPhone and it still did not work. Is the Bluetooth on an iPhone not supposed to be used to connect two phones? I thought it was supposed to be used to connect to other phones, especially iPhones for gaming purposes. Please help me learn to use my Bluetooth correctly or inform me if the iPhone is not supposes to connect with other phones through Bluetooth.

If you check the iTunes Apps store and seem to recall that there is a program that will allow you to transfer Photo's between iPhones using Bluetooth. I stand to be corrected but is this not a feature of the new iPhone 3GS Ant..

How is the iPhone compare to other phones

It looks interesting but i think its kinda difficult to use because it a touch screen.. What do you think?

After a little practice, the touch screen is pretty easy to use.
The iPhone is a nice phone but it's not for everyone. If you're into MMS, texting multiple people, this is not the phone for you. If you want a phone with the best web browsing capabilities, email, iPod functionality then it's a great phone.

Will the video calling thru iphone connect to other phones?

i currently use iphone 3gs and desired to buy iphone4!but i'm doubtful whether the video calling can be done from iphone to some other mobiles! help me out!!!

At the current time, you cannot call "other mobiles", unless the other mobile is an iPhone 4 (or presumably, an iPod Touch (4th gen) which has the current version of iOS installed).
Of course, calls can be placed from/to other devices running FaceTime Beta (whether desktop or laptop OS X), but those aren't considered "mobile devices".
Now, it's reasonable to say that it may be desirable to extend the FT calling circle to other devices/platforms, but only time will tell (Apple remains tight-lipped on future plans until they're officially unveiled).

How can I share my Iphone images with other phones.

Can you please help me.

Explain to me why I cannot use my iPhone & iPads Bluetooth with other phones & MacBooks

So basically I want apple to explain to me in their logic why they have such a limitation with the Bluetooth on these devices. Earlier today, my partner connected her Nokia n8 to her MacBook Pro, it paired nicely with no errors or issues. So I decided to connect my iPhone to her MacBook Pro and then to my surprise it said that this device was to supported. I laughed at the fact that a Nokia N8 could connect to a MacBook Pro but a iPhone couldn't. Anyway, this is a Issue but the biggest issue that I find in which doesn't make sense is the fact that I can't connect my iPhone to any other phone via Bluetooth. This limitation in my mind is pointless.
Why can almost every other phone on the market communicate to any other phone on the market via Bluetooth but my iPhone can't? To be honest I have always been an android fan, due to open source reasons only. I have always liked the simplicity of the iPhone but the 3.5" screen always made me turn away from them. The latest instalment from apple with the iPhone 5 was appealing. Quick dual core CPU, beefy GPU, 1GB of RAM, great wireless technology, beautiful camera, nice & comfortable 4" screen. There is no denying it, it's a great device. So I took it up And got one, and to be honest I wasn't disappointed. But this Bluetooth limitation is ridiculous.
Please release a firmware update to remove this limitation. I am sure I am not the only one out there that finds this a inconvenience.
Thanks.

You're not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum. You can send some feedback to Apple on this subject but my guess is that it won't change anything.
I believe that Apple have decided that the Bluetooth feature is there to support bluetooth headphones (so you can listen to your music wirelessly) and some peer-to-peer gaming, but that's it. The lack of bluetooth for sending your music to another device prevents copyright infringement, so perhaps that's why it's like that.
As for your point about bluetooth between your iPhone and your Mac, why would you need it? Syncing between iTunes, either by USB or Wi-Fi does what's required, so there is no need for bluetoothing files between them.
Although we're not supposed to speculate about Apple decisions here, it's pretty clear to me that copyright infringement was high on the list of reasons why that particular version of bluetooth has been used.

What other phones can sync with my MacAir besides Iphone? (My Iphone 4S never syncs properly

I use my computer and phone for business so when updated information does not sync from computer to phone, it causes problems when traveling. i.e. Address for appointment does not appear in iphone. What other phone selections are there to sync with my MacAir? Apple Store said I needed new OS on my MacAir but then they said I did not have enough memory. I learned MacAir memory cannot be expanded.

For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

I can't make or receive calls in my iPhone 5(just bought second hand and unlocked), but I am able to use 3G network. If I use the same SIM card in other phone it works fine. I have tried network resetting and restore.

I bought this cheap from an unknown persons. I have checked it is not in blacklist. And unlocked by apple.

Those are all carrier features, so contact your cell phone provider.
