3 .o update   junked two sim cards

my 3g iphone has disabled two sim card
when I went to synch my iphone i was told there are updates available. i accepted and moved through the process of upgrading itunes then upgrading the the phone. after okaying the phone os update i went to bed expecting the system to be up in the morning. i got the error that i needed to install my sim card (i checked it, it has never been out )
after three hours with apple and re installing itunes on two different computers. then a trip to the att store to get a new sim card (after which the phone worked as a fresh os 3 install) and making and receiving calls
i go back to the computer to replace my contacts.... and it wipes out another sim card, i have tried restore and another hour with apple on the phone, only to be told they cannot get me an appointment or a replacement before Wednesday, after sharing my dissatisfaction they got me an appointment on Tuesday
what a great phone and company,, they got the nicest people on the phone to tell you they cannot help you.

Let me see if i got this straight. You have two iDevices. One is an iPad, which uses 3G Data. The other one is an iPhone 5s. You plan on purchasing two plans, One thats has only 3G Data, and the other one that has only phone calls, and messages.The answer to your question is Yes. At least i done that with t-mobile USA. If your iPad is compatible with nano-sim cards, yes you can. If not, you will have to buy an iPad with nano-sim such as the iPad mini 3G. This is totaly possible.

    Yes, the message is self-explanatory. You need a carrier who supports Apple's activation policy for an iPhone.

  • What can possibly happen to my iPhone if I keep changing two SIM cards again and again?

    I Have two SIM cards. The first one is MPT, and it cuts Internet fees per minute. The second one is Telenor, which cuts per MB usage.
    I Bought the second sim to play Internet games (Total Conquest, DH5). Those games don't use much MB.
    The first one don't have a good internet connection, but the second one does.
    Here's the thing.
            Surfing Safari and searching apps and games in App Store use a lot of data. Other apps like Flipboard and Facebook also use a lot of MB. So the phome bills go up when I use the second one. But its perfect to play games with.
            Surfing Safari and App Store also use time and MB. Playing games also take a lot of time. The first one have a bad connection and it's a trouble for playing games like Total Conquest, my main game.
    I Want to use both of them on the same iPhone (i only have one). Like changing again and again. About everyday. What can happen to my iPhone?

    Michael's description is sound, the SIM cards may take a bit of wear over time withthis...
    You could get a 3G/4G wifi hotspot and give your computer/phone the better data rate that way.
    You need to talk to your ISP about how your connection is unstable. Run tests using an Ethernet cable and wifi (to see if the numbers are approx the same)
    Provide them your results from pingtest.net and speedtest.net to show your connection is having issues.
    Things that might indicate a problem:
    >100ms ping
    1-2mbps or slower on download/upload means the connection might need repairing.

  • HT4972 can i get the ios update without a sim card on a iphone 3gs?

    because i just downloaded it on my iphone 3gs and when downloaded it , it tells youto put your language the your country then it takes you to wifi and i just wanted to know if i can download this without a sim card??

    No, you must have a SIM card in the phone to restore our update it. The card does not have to be a currently active card, however.

  • HT4623 why cant i continue my phone usage after updating without a sim card

    why cant i continue using my iphone 4 after an update with out having a sim card

    I'm not sure what you mean. You can't use any cellphone without a SIM (except for CDMA phones which don't use SIMs at all). What is your exact situation? Do you mean that you have been using your iPhone as an iPod and now after the update it's requiring activation? If that's what you mean, then you will need a valid SIM, for the cell carrier your iPhone is locked to if it is locked, so you can re-activate the iPhone. You don't need active service with the carrier, though.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further.
    Regards.

  • Sim Card update, Wait for sim card update

    I cannot get to my phone book anymore. Instead I get a message "wait for sim card update". I have done all I think I can do. This is a new model 101. It worked fine for a week. My sim card came from an old phone, I know it works,
    please help me.

    Hi forrest12,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    Have you tried removing and reinserting the SIM on the phone? You can also try to use another SIM for us to further isolate the issue. 
    Let us know the outcome.

  • Firmware update 6275i Insert SIM card

    I have a 6275i CDMA phone.  I'm trying to update the firmware but I get a message telling me to insert a SIM card when I try to update.  As this is a CDMA phone there is no SIM card required to use it, even thou there is a SIM slot.  I have tried using a SIM card with no joy.
    Any ideas about how to get around the SIM card requirement for updating the firmware?

  • Can I use two SIM cards with one iPhone5s? ie, switch phone numbers and plan, same carrier?

    I live where there is no Cell service in remote BC Canada.  Fortunately, we have highspeed Internet!  Thus, I have been using an iPod Touch 4th gen & Skype to make all my calls for a 2 or 3 years.  I travel a couple of times a month into cell coverage.  I plan to use my iPhone 5s on a iPad Data Package when in cell coverage.  I called and asked bell if I could do so if I bought an unlocked iPhone.  I was told yes, but recieving calls would be very expensive.  I have email notification and a phone number where voice mails are emailed to me, so am able to do without recieving calls in most cases.  However, certain situations lead to frustrating telephone tag.
    Just today, after receiving my unlocked iPhone 5s I realised that Bell also has a pay as you use plan that is very reasonably priced for cell calls only.  If I was able to switch SIM cards I could get both plans.  Thus if recieving a call or placing one was important I could just switch my SIM card.  Could that be done reasonably and practically?
    I would appreciate an answer to this question!

  • Is there a way to have two sim cards with one icloud?

    I am trying to use an ipad mini and iphone. they both have sim cards with different numbers and I am getting the facetime calls on both devices as well seeing iMessage on both devices. But when i try to send a text out from the ipad it doesn't seem to go. I always get the fail to send message.

    So it turns out that I was trying to do something that isn't allowed by Apple. I was assuming, incorrectly it seems, that because the ipad had it's own sim card that I could text anyone. But you can only use the iMessage. The sim card is just for connectivity. So it is all good with my iPad and all is working the way it should.

  • HT4623 Can I have two sim cards on one iphone

    I have a personal iphone 4s and a work iphone4 and i hate having two phones and i would like to merge them is this possible or can people call my personal number and it be re-directed to work phone? Or can an iphone run two sims at once like mail can run two emails at once

    hi there,
    yes, call forwarding is possible. Be aware though, that with call forwarding additional charges might incur.
    no, the iPhone does not support Dual-SIM capability.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • "Allow to Sim card update" Message

    Hi
    I have unsolved problem about Nokia cell phone. I have two Sim card and I use “Two-Sim” to used them in one phone, but when I switch to one of them, my cell phone (Nokia 6120) always ask me “Allow to Sim card update?”, it’s so terrible and I hope you can help me to solve this problem.
    Thanks

    I also have 2in1 SIM card (original one without adapter) and the switching is made via SIM card menu and does not depend on the phone capability to handle 2 lines.
    There is an option to disable some SIM action prompts ("Confirm SIM services" in Phone and SIM under Security). Try this...
    With my card, though, it will always ask me to update...
