Any way to test a used Iphone with another AT&T sim (non-iphone)?

Looking at a used iphone 2g Monday and I'd like to know if I can swap in my brother's AT&T non-iphone sim card to see if i can make calls or if other features are working.
the P.O. says he has wiped it but I'd like a way to know if said iphone works before getting home to plug into itunes. also said the only thing that comes on the screen when turned on is something saying to connect to itunes.
Are these phones generally ok?
Even the ones that brick from uneducated hacking seem to have a fix.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

You would need to activate the phone to test it as far as making calls and such. If the seller is legit, he should have no problem plugging in the phone to iTunes are reactivating it for you to show you it works.
Personally, I would buy a brand new phone with a warranty unless this guy is selling the phone super cheap (less than $100).

  • Any way to charge mac book air with another charger

    I am trying to help my aunt with her mac book air, but she didn't sent it with the charger.  I have loads of chargers for our mac book pros, phones and Ipads.  Does anyone know a way to either use those chargers or connect the devices to work off their batteries temporarily?

    You can use any of the chargers from your MacBook Pros that have a Magsafe connector.  It won't hurt the Air.

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

    No, if it doesn't have a sim slot. However, the model number you posted is for a Verizon iPhone 4S. That model does have a sim slot, & if Verizon unlocks the sim slot, it can be used on GSM networks outside of the US.

  • Any way to provide components to vendor with-out using 541.

    Hi Friends,
    Is there any way to provide components to Vendor with out movement-541.
    Because, system allowing to do GR 101 for parent model (posted 543 automatically), without performing 541.
    Please advise,
    Best regards,
    RAMAN.

    Hi Ven,
    Your problem is not totally clear, please give more details.
    Standard procedure is to send out the subcon-components to your subcontractor via MVT 541 (MB1B + 541 + with or w/o PO reference; ME2O).
    Then you can receive the subcontracting good via MVT 101 and consume the components via 543.
    You can change the stock level of the components by inventory bookings as well
    Please write some sentences about your requirement!
    Thanks,

    iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
    If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone.

  • Is there any way of getting Facetime to work with windows?

    I've just used Facetime for the first time and it worked like a dream. Is there any way Facetime can be used to phone someone with a PC using
    Windows?

    No, FaceTime uses a proprietary communications protocol that is incapatable with Windows.

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!

  • Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

  • Is there any way I can connect my iPhone to my projector to demonstrate an app?

    Is there any way I can connect my iPhone to my projector to demonstrate an app?

    Yes, there are cables in the Apple Store that will send video to an external screen, but it depends on the app....3rd party apps may need to be written to allow video out...some mirror the iPhone screen and some only use the external - it depends on how the app works, etc.
    Start by getting a compatible cable.

  • HT4757 Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    First Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    No, you have to sell yours and buy the new iPhone 5 with the proceeds.
    Please do not double post. Asking many times does not change the answer.
