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?

  • HT201328 My Iphone did not come with a sim card

    My Apple S4 Iphone did not come with a Sim Card,,Can i get it Activated to Straight Talk from Verizon ?

    Verizon is a CDMA carrier. StraightTalk resells service from a number of carriers.
    Do you have a Verizon phone, or an unlocked GSM phone? If you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can not activate it on Verizon or on the StraightTalk CDMA network. You can buy a SIM from StraightTalk and use their GSM service, but there are known compatibility issues and they are not a supported GSM carrier. They Are a supported CDMA carrier, but you must purchase a phone specifically for StraightTalk.

  • My iPad 1 32 gig 3g did not come with a "SIM card" already put in--with none given in the box. Help?

    I recently purchased an apple iPad 1, 32gig, 3G from amazon. When it was shipped, it came in a large box--but in the box was an unopened iPad 1 store box [like one you would pick up in a store]. It was never opened- just sold over amazon.
    When I opened all the packaging, I followed the instructions provided and synced my iPad with my iTunes. Then, I was told via my iPad that it did not have a "SIM Card". I looked through all the packaging I was provided, and found a small box-like folder that mentioned the "SIM Card". It had the little tool to access where the "SIM Card" would be placed in the iPad, but no such card was there [in either the iPad or box]. It is nowhere to be found...
    Where can I get it? I have siblings who also purchased iPads this week, and their "SIM Cards" were alread implanted in their iPads. Why was mine not, and more imporantly, where is it?? Help please?

    Then your family members will probably have bought their ipads with a data plan from some phone company like AT&T in the States. Maybe they even got it "sponsored", because they bought a data plan with it.
    If you bought your "iPad only" from a hardware seller, you will have to get a data plan from some phone company. Seems like you only bougth the hardware! You can still use your ipad, however, and if you have an iPhone, you do not even need a sim card in your iPad, because it can use your iPhone's data plan.
    That is what I did. I save the extra money for the 3G version, because with an iPhone 4 there is no need for an own sim Card in an iPad.
    But that is another topic.

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

    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

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • My iphone 4s did not come with a needle to eject the sim card

    im not in the usa

    i need to insert our local sim card

    Have you looked in the little white booklet that sits just underneath the phone as you open the box. If you open the booklet cover you will see the pin.

  • IPhone didn't come with a sim card

    My iPhone just arrived in post but didn't come with a SIM card is this normal ?

    If it was purchased directly from Apple as an unlocked phone it will not come with a SIM card. If it is carrier locked it should have a SIM for the carrier.

  • My imac did not come with a disc and i accidentally deleted OS what do i do

    I was trying to reformat my imac and i think i deleted OS. My imac did not come with a disc drive or a OS disc. what can I do

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT1267 what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and you dont have any way to get the Serial number what do u do

    what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and u have no way to get the serial number what do u do

    If you eject the SIM card tray the serial number is also there.  It's tiny, but there.
    When my iPhone won't turn on I first charge it with a known good cable for a few hours.  If nothing after that I begin a warranty lookup for repair.
