3GS sim tray not openning, what to do

3GS sim tray is not opening, what to do.

Yeah, I have to agree with RoamingGnome...this sounds like more of a Jailbreak issue, not an Apple issue.  If you bought this phone from a legal distributor and just haven't upgraded your iOS since 3.1.2, I'd contact the place where you purchased it.  If you Jailbroke or bought it Jailbroken to get it Unlocked to use with any carrier, my best solution would be to search the net.  I'm pretty sure there is a current Jailbreak for up to iOS 5.1.1, but I'm not really up to date with that information.  I do know that you can legally now purchase a factory unlock from Apple, but I'm not sure if that's only with new purchases or if you can buy an Unlock for an older phone.
My best solution would be to search your phone revision & iOS online and you should get what you're looking for.  Sometimes you can even just search YouTube and they'll have a step-by-step video showing you exactly how to do whatever you might need to get up & running again.
It's pretty rough being without a cellphone, especially if it's your only communication device.  Hopefully this at least pointed you in the proper direction.

    Hi, i bought Iphone 4 from carrier and I found the sim tray can't get out

    can apple help me to replace it from Carrier ?

    My guess is that you didn't read http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Page 20 tells you how you should have removed the SIM tray. By not following these instructions you may have damaged it.

  • My sim tray is locked, and whenever I put the sim eject tool in the hole beside it, it will not open, what should i do?

    My sim tray is locked, and whenever I put the sim eject tool in the hole beside it, it will not open, what should i do?

    Use a small thin piece of plastic (metal tools are likely to scratch the case)  and work along the seams of the tray. In all likelihood your tool is unlocking it but the tray itself is a bit gummed up, jammed.  Be patient, don't force things, and you'll probably get it open in short order.

  • HT2311 Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: What to do??

    Help! iTunes update 10.7 will not open: WHAT TO DO?
    Recently I updated to Snow Leopard from 10.5.8  and then updated to 10.6.8. The recent update to itunes 10.7 has completely failed as iTunes fails to boot up and just send a message to Apple. So now I cannot access my music library. I tried deleting the new iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling iTunes 10.6.3 and also 10.3.1 with exactly the same result. I did the installation after turning off as many background software items as I could like Sophos Anti Virus and Little Snitch. This makes one want to give up on software updates - I have had an increasing number of failures as my machine gets to 5 years old.

    OK  - I have found my own fix in an older thread / discussion:-

    just purchased Imac running Lion - doc. and cwk. extensions will not open. whats the fix?

    Pages 4.3 is the most recent, but no matter. If Pages cannot open it, there are many other programs that may be able to. Some of them are free.
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    Try TextEdit also. It is included in OS X.
    If you are trying to open the document by double-clicking it, don't, since the Finder may be looking for a program that is no longer installed. Use Pages' File > Open... menu. The same recommendation applies to using any of the above alternatives - use their File > Open menu.
    The least attractive alternative is to purchase Microsoft Word, but I have been completely Microsoft-free since updating to Lion.

    What happens when you try?
    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
