Accessing phone with foreign SIM card & no data plan

I purchased an Australia SIM card from Lebara Mobile. I have an old unlocked BB Bold that I have been using with an O2 SIM card when I travel to the UK. When I boot my phone with the new SIM card it prompts me for a BB ID. Neither the Lebara nor the O2 plans provide data support to Blackberry. I do have WIFI access enabled but when I enter my BB ID & password it just sits & spins. I have been using my O2 SIM successfully for years (with no data plan) & it works fine.
Please advise if it's possible to use the phone with the Lebara SIM withoout a data plan.
Thanks!
Bob

Sim card has nothing to do with itunes.

Why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

Impossible to say without more details. Is the iPhone locked to a carrier, and if so are you using a SIM from that carrier? If you believe that the iPhone is not carrier-locked, where did you purchase the iPhone and was it sold unlocked or did you get a previous carrier to unlock it? And are you using a SIM from a carrier that officially supports the iPhone?
People will need much more specific information about your issue before anyone can offer suggestions.

Save apps to phone for use with foreign sim card

I will be traveling in Europe with my unlocked iPhone5. I will be getting an Italian sim card. Are my apps on my sim card or on my phone or both? How do I make sure they are on the phone so that I can use them when I have a different sim card?

Apps are on the phone.

New iPhone with new SIM card - Retrieving data

My iPhone was stolen, so I had to buy a new one, so it's also a new SIM card. When I connected to iTunes, I thought it would ask me if I wanted to restore with my previous backed up data which would have also included all my contacts, notes, pictures, etc. It didn't. Is there any way to retrieve the backed up data from my old phone and sync it to my new phone?

Not sure why it didn't ask you to restore from a backup.
Plug in and open iTunes. Click on the iPhone under DEVICES. Click Restore. Let it restore to factory settings, and then wait for iTunes to prompt if you want to "Set Up as New iPhone" or "Restore from Backup."

Unable to send BBM & PIN to a specific contact only with foreign sim card

HT201328 after unlocked done can i use the phone with foregein sim card in non European country?

What happens if I block my I phone can it work in non European country ?

Yeh I had a contract but I paid all off ages ago with o2 network I owned the iPhone I just gave my phone to my brother after I went holiday to my country Turkey I just requested from o2 customer service and n gave them all required info they processed that it will take 72 hrs to done

I paid full price for my unlocked phone to be able to use it when I travel overseas. Now I'm in Indonesia and I can't use my phone with local sim card. Why?

As above. This is really starting to **** me off.

Perhaps you didn't a actually buy an "unlocked" iPhone, you just bought one "without contract" - they are both "full price".
Where did you buy it?

Iphone 4S: Do they ALL come with a sim card slot?

The company I'm trying to connect the phone with says phones with a sim card slot cannot be activated, so instead of buying an Iphone 4 (which I don't want, due to the slower speed and less camera pixels), I figured I'd give one last try and see if anyone on here knows.
Thanks.
p.s. If you have any pictures or eBay listings of 4S's without a slot, please post them.

That sounds odd. All iPhone 4S and 5's come with SIM slots. The only iPhone model that does not have a SIM slot is the Verizon (CDMA) iPhone 4. Every other iPhone has had a SIM slot, from the original to the 5.

Accoprding to Apple's information, all UK phones are sold as locked to the carrier you got it from, so yours is ALREADY locked to T-Mobile (activation has nothing to do with whether a phone is sold as locked or not).
However, it looks like, from Apple's listing, that they also support unlocking, but you will need to contact them about doing that. There may be restrictions, like so many months under contract first, or a fee, or whatever rules they apply to unlocking. Or there may be none and you just need to ask them to do it.
Regardless, you need to contact T-Mobile and ask them about how to get an unlock request processed by them. And do it before you leave - much more difficult to deal with once you are far removed from their network.

Dear sir
I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
Please tell me whats the matter?
My phone serial no 86034HTCA4T
Modem firmware 04.12.09
Thanks

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.

HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
No, which is not possible.
What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier

Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier ... here is what it says below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

So.. You need to contact the carrier for the iPhone's original sim card, and request they unlock it. The carrier is the only one that can unlock the sim of the iPhone.

I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?

A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

WHICH CARRIERS WILL ALLOW ME KEEP MY PHONE NUMBER WITH NEW SIM CARD?

WHICH CARRIERS IN USA WILL ALLOW ME TO KEEP MY PHONE NUMBER WITH NEW SIM CARD ON AN IPHONE 5S?

thank you.
i did not know that it was different from normal writing where one might use all caps to cull the attention of the public---as in a newspaper advertisement selling an item and the caps would be intended to make the ad stand out from other advertisements. i'm old school i guess but im learning & i thank you.
Did not intentionally try to yell at the readers. Hope i didn't wake anyone up!!! Again, my apology. Thanx.
