the sim is only need for making calls and using your carrier's data so an iphone without a sim is simply a more expensive ipod touch

Can I use my iPhone 6 SIM card in a iPad Air 2

If my iPhone 6 SIM card would work in an iPad Air 2, I would purchase the wifi + cellular model. Anyone able to answer this? Thank you

If you could ,why would you want do that? So you are going to be switching your SIM back and forth between devices.? Not practical. And your are going to pay more money for a Wifi+SIM model and only use it with a SIM part of the time? Not economical.
Do what Alfred has suggested and use the Personal Hotspot on a Wifi only model if you want to "share" the SIM. Or if you buy the WIFI+SIM model opt in to a data iPad plan with your carrier. If you already have data on your iPhone, some carriers "allow you to use the data plan on more than one device for a modest add on fee. Contact your carrier.

I cut my iphone 4 SIM card to fit into my new iphone 5 phone

I cut my iphone 4 SIM card to fit into my iphone 5, and it doesn't fit and be is stuck in the phone. What do I do?

Make an appointment at the genius bar and see if they can help you get it out. Hopefully, you didn't physically damage the phone. Nano-SIMs are thinner than Micro-SIMs, as well as being smaller.
Then, go to your carrier and get an actual Nano-SIM.

You don't get a SIM card unlocked, your iPhone has to be unlocked to use any SIM card. Contact your carrier and ask if they will unlock your iPhone.

The iPhone 5 uses a nano SIM card and the S4 uses a micro SIM card.
You will need a new SIM card. Or an adapter which might be glitchy.

Is iPhone 3GS SIM card activation mandatory?

I have several scenarios.
First: If I'm currently an iPhone 1st Generation user, can I use the old SIM card to use iPhone 3GS?
Second: If I'm currently an iPhone 3G user, can I use the old SIM card to use the iPhone 3GS?
Third: If I'm using the iPhone 3GS SIM card, can I use it on other phones to make calls and go online? For example iPhone 3G, iPhone 1st Generation, or any AT&T branded phones, and finally unlocked phones?
Thanks in advance!

As long as your existing SIM is a 3G(network) SIM as the SIM cards were in the U.K, you can insert your current SIM into your 3G S, connect to iTunes, iPhone will display a message "iPhone is activated", follow the registration process through iTunes (if you wish to) then choose to set up as a new iPhone or a backup.
Let iTunes do its thing and you have a fully working iPhone 3G S.
That's what I did with my original iPhone to iPhone 3G and having bought an unsubsidized 3G S from O2 I'm still using my original SIM. It's running perfectly. MMS works, Find my iPhone works, it's fantastic. Love the rotating maps :o) roll on TomTom release!
iPhone is available in many countries, so I don't know if all carriers' SIM cards are the same as the SIM cards provided by the U.K carrier (O2).
Hope this helps

Um... SIM cards come from your cellular carrier. It's what ties whatever device you are using to the cellular network. Get one from them.

My iphone 5 sims card is stuck.

My iphone 5 sims card is stuck. I am trying a paper clip and the tool that apple sent. Any ideas??

Not sure if they will replace that part at the Apple store - you would need to call and check.
If not you would have to buy an out of warranty iphone 5 - I believe it's $199 or more.
Make sure you back up your prior to taking it in.

Apple does not provide SIM cards, carriers do.
Go to your carrier and get a SIM card. Whether it is free or not is up to them.

Can I swap out a iPhone 4 sim card into a iPhone 5 with the same carrier?

Here is the situation. I used to have Sprint as my personal cellphone carrier and just had bought an iPhone 5 when my employer put me on a business cellphone plan that they pay for. They bought one of the bargain basement original iPhone 4 handsets (not to be confused with the 4S) for employees to use, also on the Sprint network. The phone is owned by them; the plan is paid for by them. We just get to use it. As a result, I decided to just close out my personal cellphone account, even though it was a better phone. I used my 64GB iPhone 5 as my iPod, it worked great for music, apps, books, etc that I needed, and I just used the 8GB iPhone 4 just for phone calls and text messages.
Well recently, with the 5C and 5S being released, I wanted to know if the iPhone 4 could be upgraded by my employer to a new handset, preferably a 32 GB 5C or a 16 GB 5S. My employer has been slow to respond, because there are so many employee accounts to weed through and most are perfectly fine with an older phone. I am not, because the new operating system is slower on an iPhone 4 than an iPhone 5.
I want to ask my employer if its possible to get the SIM card from the iPhone 4 just swapped out into the iPhone 5. Is that possible? I understand that there is a size difference in the SIM cards. Is this something I could do myself, just pop it out and pop it in in the new handset? Or is this something that will require going to my employer to do, or to a Sprint store and have them do it? Do I have to be concerned with warranties being voided if I want to do this? (Keep in mind the iPhone 4 is my EMPLOYER's property, and they pay the bill as well. My inactive iPhone 5 is MY PROPERTY and has no current cellular service.)

I want to ask my employer if its possible to get the SIM card from the iPhone 4 just swapped out into the iPhone 5. Is that possible?
No, iPhone 4/4S uses micro-sim and iPhone 5/5C/5S uses nano-sim.
