My iphone 3gs is hanged on with unsupported sim card

i updated my iphone 3gs now, it's not working .. it stop with an screen unsupported sim card

That's because it was previously hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. You can't get help here for a hacked phone.
If you believe it was NOT hacked, then your SIM has failed. Get a new one from your carrier.

    If the iPhone was unlocked unofficially, it has been locked to original carrier again.

    If officially unlocked, yes...you can use any valid sim card. If carrier locked, no...requires a valid sim card from the carrier the phone is locked to.

    GUYS MY iPHONE 4 IS NOT WORKING WITH THE SIM CARD IN ZIMBABWE,HOW DO I UNLOCK IT?

    Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to is capable of unlocking it.  You'll have to ask them if they will unlock it.  Some will, some won't.
    Hope this helps

  • What if your iphone 4s did not come with a sim card

    what if your iphone 4s did not come with a sim card

    Better yet, get a micro-SIM, which the 4S uses.
    Was this a brand new iPhone?  They did not activate it at the store?

    I have inserted my Sim card from my BlackBerry Storm 9500, but I cannot seem to find a way to access my Contact List the Sim card.
    Also, I have synced my iPhone with iTunes on my MacBook, but my music doesn't show up at all on my iPhone. Any suggestions please?

    You can import the contacts from SIM.

  • How can I get my iPhone 3GS to recognize my AT&T SIM card after upgrade to iOS 5.1?

    I upgraded my previously-unlocked iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 today, from iOS 4. I hadn't upgraded the OS in awhile (since the phone was unlocked before a trip overseas).
    iTunes says: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I tried taking out and reinserting the SIM card, but that didn't help. It seems that I cannot restore to factory settings now, since iTunes doesn't think my phone has a SIM card and so won't connect to my phone at all.
    I realize now that I should have restored to factory settings before upgrading, but given that I did not, how can I fix this retroactively?
    Help?!
    Thanks!

    I did.
    I've connected to the M-Cell for a few minutes once. It dropped the one call I tried to make, and my phone hasn't reconnectted since. My roommate has the same phone. We have the same thing happening.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 3GS (UK) and use my 3 sim card in it?

    My friend is on Orange, his contract has ended and he is upgrading to the iPhone 4S. I want to buy his iPhone 3GS and use my pay monthly 3 sim card in it.
    He has spoke to Orange, paid £20 and is having the phone officially unlocked, he will recieve an email in 28 days, once done he needs to put my simcard in the phone, connect to his itunes and put the code in which will unlock it.
    Can I then have the phone and sync it on my itunes on my computer or is it forever locked to his itunes?
    Does this sound right or am I missing something?
    Cheers.

    So the last part of setting it up as a new device is done by plugging it into my computer, itunes etc...?
    Just thought my mate might be pulling a fast one, ha! Ive never owed anything apple so am new to it all.
    I will enjoy it im sure, I tried to get his new 4S but he wasnt having any of it lol!
    Anyways, cheers.

  • Newly-unlocked iPhone 4 will not activate with new sim card

    I recently bought a used iPhone 4 from a friend and brought it with me to Cambodia. The friend initited a request to AT&T to unlock the phone so I could use it, and the request was granted by AT&T. She forwarded me the email with instructions, but I have not been able to successfully complete the unlock. The instructions say:
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
    Ensure a SIM card is inserted into your iPhone.
    Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
    Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
    After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
    When I try this, it refuses to recognize that there is a SIM card installed.
    The instructions don't say it has be any particular SIM card, just "a SIM card" so I'm using my local SIM. I also tried a second SIM with the same result.
    Any ideas why this isn't working or what I should try next?

    I can't even get to an option that asks me that question. I don't want any of the data on the phone now, as that is my friend's data, but I can't even get to a place where I can delete her data or anything else.
    All I get is the "activation" screen options (choose language, country, wifi network) and then the error message that "Activation Failed - please insert a SIM card."
    I'm not sure if that clarifies exactly what you're asking, My apologies if it doesn't, and try asking me again.

  • Was updating to 5.0.1 on iphone 3gs and now it wont recongize sim card

    I was updating at iphone 3gs (8gig) to 5.0.1 after it was turned off and it restarted. it no longer recongized the sim card. What can I do now?

    It was not. I bought i a few months ago for my fatherinlaw and I have only put some apps on it before trying to updated the iOS to 5.0.1. It was working fine before but once it restarted from updating to 5.0.1 it is now in a base mode of asking what language, turn on location services and for it to go on wifi. but when I attach it by wire to itunes it says the sim card is not installed.

  • Help! - iPhone 2g will not activate with new sim card

    I have been given an iPhone 2g for my son. Have activated a new sim card as 02 said this was the reason I could not activate on iTunes. Still cannot get the phone activated. I have reset all settings so am now lost as to what to do next!

    I have tried that but the phone is not being recognised when I connect it to iTunes. I keep getting a message on the phone saying "new sim detected - please connect to iTunes". When I connect to iTunes I get the message "unable to activate - please try later - disconnect the phone" - very, very, frustrating. Didn't have any problems at all when my older son took over my iPhone 3G and put a 3 sim in it (after being unlocked).

  • Can I use a T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 in any country with any SIM Card carrier?

    I'm from Uruguay and I want to buy an iPhone 6 contract free from T-Mobile. My doubt is if I'll be able to use it in my country with a local carrier. In other words, is a factory unlocked iPhone? Which is the difference between a unlock iPhone and a Contract-Free T-Mobile iPhone?

    Hey Nicolas,
    I had the same question, so I went to the Apple chat, and I asked the same, 'cause I need an iPhone to works in South America and Europe as well.
    so what the person on the chat  answered me was that the T-mobile cellphone comes Unlocked, so you can use it anywhere.
    I Guess I can get it and now.
