Activation code for T-mobile unlock iPhone 5?

I want to activate the SIM card in side my new unlock T-mobile iPhone 5 (according to Apple, the SIM card is already installed I believe), and I could find the SIM card serial number and Phone serial number (IMEI) at the back of the box, but does anyone know where is the Activation code?

Oh no I do not mean to unlock my phone, I just need to activate the SIM card inside so that I can use the phone to make calls and send messages etc. By this point I even have no idea what my number is... =D

How do i get an activation code for a second hand iphone to unlock it

I need an activation code for my second hand iphone i just bought online

See the quote below from Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
The other option is to return the phone.
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

That iPhone is useable only on the softbank network. Softbank does not
unlock iPhones for use on other networks. Sell that iPhone to someone who
can use it on Softbank and use the money to buy an iPhone that will work
with your wireless provider.

Virgin Mobile unlocks iPhones for free?

I currently have an HTC phone on Virgin Mobile, which has given me pretty good service for the monthly rate. I want to upgrade to the iPhone 5s and continue to use Virgin Mobile since it has given me such good service. However, I will be moving out of state next year and am worried that Virgin Mobile will not provide good service there, so just in case I want to be able to switch my iPhone to a different carrier. Virgin Mobile says they will unlock iPhones purchased from them for free (https://community.virginmobile.com.au/t5/Phones-knowledge-base/How-do-I-unlock-m y-Apple-iPhone/ta-p/80), but after doing some research, apparently it is really hard to switch carriers on a Virgin Mobile unlocked iPhone since they use CDMA. Sorry, I am not a techie, so am really unfamiliar to all of this. Will someone explain what that means, and if I would be able to potentially switch carriers?
Thanks!

Several confusing pieces of information here.
First, the link to Virgin Mobile in the first post is for Virgin Mobile Australia. They will unlock their phones if you ask them.
Virgin Mobile USA is a different company (in a different country) and does NOT unlock phones.
Second, the iPhone sold on Virgin Mobile USA does have a SIMM card slot, even though VM network is CDMA. These iPhones are hybrids and have radio circuitry that supports both CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, VM USA), as well as GSM (T-Mobile, AT&T in US, as well as the rest of the world). When activated on Virgin Mobile, phone uses CDMA and the SIMM card is inactive (as well as the circuitry supporting it). However, when you put an active SIMM card (for example, T-Mobile's), the phone should be able connect to a GSM network. The problem is, this doesn't work because the SIMM slot is locked and doesn't allow SIMM cards from other carriers.
Virgin Mobile iPhones are somewhat different from other American carriers, and it appears that there is no unlocking solution for these. I have searched the web thoroughly and haven't been able to find anyone who would be able to unlock an iPhone sold by Virgin Mobile USA, so that it can be used with a SIMM card of another mobile carrier (domestic or foreign). For iPhones on Verizon, unlocking isn't even necessary; they are CDMA phones, which means that the CDMA circuitry can only be activated on Verizon (therefore no Sprint or Virgin Mobile), but the SIMM slot is unlocked and can be used with any global carrier. With AT&T and T-Mobile, unlocking is required, since the two are GSM operators which use SIMM cards, so the phone is locked to the carrier. Unlocking can be done, in some cases (if you've been a customer long enough) even by the carrier itself, and there are third-party unlocking services out there. Unfortunately, Virgin is the only one where this, for some reason, cannot be done.

Hi, I have an issue with not receiving activation code for applications like whatsapp, icici bank imobile on iphone.. need help!

Hi, I use iphone 4 version 4.3.3 (8J2). I have downloaded my ICICI bank's application 'iphone imobile'. It asks for an activation code which it instructs to send a text message 'imobile iphone' to 5676766. I have done that umpteen times but problem is that i don't receive any reply. I have faced a similar problem while receiving activation code for another application 'Whatsapp', but fortunately Whatsapp gives an option of receiving activation code through alternate mode so i got the activation code through mail. Unfortunately ICICI Bank gives the activation code ONLY through a text message.
In this case there seems to be a problem with iPhone receiving activation code. Can anyone help me out here?

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC,, Don't have older version serial numbers, threw programs away, only have Adobe Acrobat X Standard, need a code to unlock program?

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7.

You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

Software activation codes are provided by the software producers, so you need to check with the site you downloaded the app from.

I need activation code for my ipad

PLeas i need activation code for my ipad becouse i cant open it ana i know the apple id and password

Only the person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it. if purchased used/2cd hand,
contact the seller for assistance. This is what they need to do:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
If seller refuses or cannot be contacted, the iPad is useless. There is no workaround for
Activation Lock.

If I bought a T-mobile unlocked iphone, once received, is there anything required to activate or can i just simply insert another carrier and immediately make phone calls?

I live in lebanon and I need a factory unlocked iphone 5s to use my carrior (touch), so should i buy the t-mobile unlocked iphone, or will i have to call t-mobile?

Ok thanks, I just needed to make sure, because when i bought my iphone 4 3 years ago, it was 'carrierless' for more than 6 months, which was a bummer

Will the T Mobile unlocked iPhone 6 be compatible in India?

Will the T Mobile unlocked iPhone 6 be usable in India? Can it be used as it is in Indian GSM networks without any unlocking required? I asked my friend who lives in Connecticut to enquire in a T mobile store where the seller told him that it will be locked for 90 days. Is it so? I could not contact live chat support. Please help.

Firstly, the T-Mobile phone is NOT unlocked, but rather contract/sim free. You don't buy the phone directly from a T-Mobile store or the phone will be locked, but you need to get your friend to go and buy the T-Mobile phone contract free directly from the Apple store.
This phone comes with a T-Mobile sim card, but the trick is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone when you receive it and put your local sim card into the phone and then activate it and then it will remain unlocked.
Remember though that if this phone comes from the US, you will have no valid warranty on the phone for India, as iPhone warranty is not international, so if anything goes wrong with the phone, you have to physically take it back to the US - no shipping accepted.
The phone will also not support 4G/LTE, due to frequency differences.
There are no unlocked phones for sale in the US yet, but if you want to risk the T-Mobile phone, then get your friend to go and buy the T-Mobile contract free phone directly from the Apple store and NOT a T-Mobile store - if you go to T-Mobile, then the phone will be locked, but if you get it from Apple, you should be able to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone and then activate it with a local sim card and the phone should remain unlocked.
It is only if you activate with the T-Moible sim card that you are in trouble.

Where Do I find the netflix activation code for my atv2?

Where do I find or get the activation code for Netflix on my apple tv 2

I'm having the same problem, in the United States. Netflix had been working fine on ATV2, and now suddenly it doesn't. Its keeps saying the Netflix account or password is invalid. They are not. Netflix continues to work fine on an iPhone, MacBookPro, and bluray player using the same wifi and isp, also all in the United States.
I've trying rebooting the ATV2, and vewy vewy carefuwy entering the password. Netflix account "manage your devices" gives you the option of disconnecting your devices from Netflix, and then reconnecting them--but when you try to reconnect them, you get stuck on this screen that asks for something called an "activation code". I know, like R.O.U.S.'s, you don't think they exist. My blu-ray player gave me one in about 5 seconds, and without one from ATV2, working the problem from the Netflix end is a big fat no-go. The ATV2 end apparently consists of two options: reboot, and re-enter the password. So, now I have this useless black lump of plastic sitting on my blu-ray player.

Recommend a (USA) micro SIM card for a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s?

Could be a simple question but I can't find the answer: I bought a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s (from Apple) for use while traveling abroad (mainly China). I already have a Chinese SIM card to use while I'm China. I just got the iPhone delivered to me in the US and I want to get it set up and tested before I travel back to China.
But I'm a little confused about where I can get a micro SIM card in the US to pop into the phone for a couple of days just to get it set up and running (I don't need a lot of time on the card).
Can I just pop into any AT&T or T-mobile store and pick up a micro-SIM card that will work?

Hi, thanks for your answer. I just got off the phone trying to clarify this with AT&T. They tell me that they also have something called a "Go" card that I can get for my (factory-unlocked) iPhone that works without a plan. But, as you pointed out regarding the T-mobile card, it sounds as if I don't get full service on the iPhone. They told me that I won't be ablet to browse the web via the card, only when I'm connected via Wi Fi.
I am headed out to try to find a card today and will update this thread with any further discoveries.

Hard drive died. Cannot uninstall CS3 to remove copy registration. Need to reinstall on new laptop with windows 7 64 bit system, Need to get activation code for CS3 Web Premium.

Thank you Bob.
Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow? Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
Thanks
