Anyone try to put their iPhone SIM into their old Blackberry?

I was wondering if anyone has tried to put their iPhone SIM card into their old Blackberry and if they were able to send/receive data.
I was previously on a Blackberry Unlimited plan (BES) with at&t and when I put my iPhone activated SIM card into my Blackberry Curve now the connection shows as "edge" instead of "EDGE". I can not send/receive any data.
The phone portion on the Curve works fine but the data does not.
AT&T told me that if I wanted to restore my Blackberry Unlimited data plan I would have to send them my IMEI number for the Curve and they would "reformat" my SIM card. However, that SIM card would not work in my iPhone after that.
I have heard that people are able to send/receive data on their old RAZRs with iPhone formatted SIM cards but it is strange the way it won't work on my Blackberry.
Anyone else have experience with this?
Anyone have a suggestion for someone that wants to be able to use the Blackberry for business trips but the iPhone when around town and on weekends?
The irony here is that I actually WANT to pay at&t more $$$ per month since the Blackberry unlimited plan is $45 per month, while the iPhone is $20 per month. I am no economics major but most companies would probably want an incremental $300 per year if they could get it.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and FWIW, I love the iPhone as does my wife. She actually called me at work today and the first words out of her mouth were "I love my iPhone" (she has hated and denied all previous attempts of mine to get her a 'smartphone'). The iPhone allowed her to dial a phone number on her phone while sitting in her car and then choose "handsfree" on the screen which seamlessly transferred the call to the car's bluetooth system. She prefers this option to the "maddening experience of trying to get the car to understand her voice commands (lol!)".

That's what I figured. Thanks for the reply. Just seems odd that they wouldn't want to allow someone to "downshift" to the iPhone with a higher priced data plan if they were willing to pay the extra $25 per month.
I love my Curve but I love my iPhone more.
Thanks again for the quick response. Really appreciate.
If anyone from at&t happens to see this and knows of a workaround for those of us that would like to be able to swap back and forth with a Blackberry until Apple gets the corporate email connectivity functionality, please let me/us know.

Anyone try to put their iPhone sim in another phone?

Has anyone tried to put their iPhone SIM into another phone yet? Does the phone work? Does it get data? Can you get voicemail? etc?
I put the Apple iPhone's sim into my Blackberry curve and the Curve would never show "EDGE" it would only get to "edge". The lowercase "edge" means that it can't send/receive data. The phone portion worked fine.
Wondering if anyone has been able to take the iPhone SIM card and put it into a RAZR/Treo or something and see if it can access the EDGE data network.
I

It is not recommended but possible. You will still have access to the data network and have unlimited data so you don't have to worry about being charged extra. However you will be forced to use normal voicemail, the visual voicemail feature will not work on another phone.
Also, don't loose your sim. You can take the iPhone sim and put it in the razr, but can't take a Razr sim and put it in the iPhone.
And the type of internet (edge/umts/gprs) is determined by the type of device you are using, and of course the network you are on. if the device only uses edge, you won't be able to boost it to WiFi, etc.

My Iphone5 is going back for repairs, Can I put my Iphone5 Sim into my old Iphone 4?

As the title says
Thank you

The SIM will not physically fit.
The iPhone 5 uses a nanoSIM and the 4 uses a microSIM.

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

IF I buy a uk iPhone will I be able to put an american sim into it?

I'm due a new phone and want an iphone but in 15months or so I will be going to USA for one year as past of my degree and was wondeing if i bought a uk iphone off the apple website will i be able to put an american sim into it.

Yes, IF you purchase an unlocked phone or your UK carrier will unlock it for you and you get a sim from a compatible US carrier (probably AT&T).
However, the iPhone does not have a worldwide warranty or service. So if something goes wrong with it, you would have to send it back to the UK for service. That isn't an issue unless it breaks, I have had each version since the first and have yet to get one repaired, but it is something to keep in mind.

When I put my iphone 4s into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone beeps/makes a tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise.

I have a strange problem. When I put my iphone 4S into my pocket (pants or coat) and move it around, the phone makes a beep noise/tone. I can't figure out what is causing the noise. It doesn't sound like any of my regular applications. Maybe it is the lock noise but I can't tell for sure. More movement makes more beeps. Even walking with my phone in my pocket creates beeps. The IOS is 7.0.4 (11B554a). Anyone else have this crazy problem?

Why does iTunes say there's an unknown error (-54) when i try to sync my iPhone 5c into my computer?

Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 5c onto my computer there's always a message that pops up and says there's an unknown error. I have synced my iPhone to a new computer and have purchased new music on this computer. I have previous music on my old computer which is still on my phone but i want that music off. I just want to start over with the new music i got on this computer. For some reason, the old music from my old computer won't show up on my new computer, but the old music shows up on my iPhone 5c. I have no idea on how to delete the old songs. My iPhone doesn't give me the option. I'm thinking maybe the error has to do something with that. Any suggestions?

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Putting a temporary sim into your IPhone

Hi, I am travelling shortly and plan to use a local sim whilst i'm away. The Apple store confirmed my email will automatically come through one I put the sim card in?
I take it, I will need to switch the data roaming to "on"?
Once I have completed my trip and switched back to my UK, should evereything switch back seemlessly?
Many Thanks

roaming mean that you surf on your normal sim in other places
changing back does nothing in terms of the general settings of the device

I have put my iphone simcard into a nokia lumia 520, now I have no contacts etc. How can I retreive them?

Hi. I have been having problems with my iphone 4s ios 6.?? heating up alot, draining the battery fast. It goes down to about 20% before half the day is over. I still have 4GB left (from a 64GB iphone) and don't have anything functioning, (other than check my emails occasionally and txt). It is also having problems deleting emails. I push edit, then touch the dot next to the emails so I can select which ones to delete, but then the dots all disappear and the editing function goes away. It just goes back to inbox. So I have got a Nokia Lumia phone to try out until I can try and fix those problems. But I have put the sim in it, and now I have no contacts, notes or photos or anything. I backed up my iphone to my itunes on my laptop last night, because I was told to try and do and backup and restore on my iphone 4s, that maybe that would solve the problem. I can't see how it would stop it heating up. So I backed it up, but didn't restore it as I didn't want to wipe everything off my iphone, and it said I had to update to ios 7 in order to restore it. I have read alot of bad stuff about putting ios 7 on iphone 4s, so I don't want to update it. Is there a way I can go to the backup somewhere on my laptop to find all that information? As I had contacts and notes stored on my iphone that I didn't have written down anywhere else, which I need. Now I don't have them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

what I meant about "dont have anything functioning", I didnt mean the phone isn't working. I meant that I have the phone on standby all day. Just use it to check my emails, & fb messenger, thats about it, yet it still drains the battery. I do sync/backup everything to my itunes, most recently was last night. Can I not retreive it somehow so it can be put on the nokia phone? Or so I can at least see the contacts, notes, photos etc on my laptop (wherever the backup data is)? Then just copy it onto the nokia phone? I have also noticed that even going into my facebook messages, it doesnt have the photos that were sent and received whilst I was using my iphone. I thought at least fb would keep them.
From what I mostly read about updating it, alot of the apps dont properly function with the ios 7, as it is made for the iphone 5. People have written that it slows their phones down alot, and the phones can take minutes to dial a call. I prefer not to take that risk and stuff my phone up. At least at the moment its just overheating, the battery is dying fast, and its not deleting emails sometimes. Hope this is of some help.

Has anyone heard of putting fibre optic camera into iphone4 to check for damage

HHas anyone ever heard of using fibre optic camera to look inside iphone 4 for damage without taking the phone apart

They are checking for water damage…

What do you think you could see if you managed to snake an endoscope into the device? There are almost no moving parts and the ones that do move are mostly switches that are visible from the outside. The vibrator is kinda obvious when it fails.
The gyroscope technically moves, but that is encased inside a chip.

IOS 8 has put my iPhone 5c into recovery mode

I've downloaded IOS 8 on my mac ready for install on my iPhone. I knew i didn't have enough space or time, so once it stopped downloading i ejected the iPhone and my phone got stuck on the apple with the status bar. It then went into recovery mode, and was telling me to connect to iTunes. Connected to iTunes where iTunes detected the phone but my phone is still telling me to connect. Ive tried the reset twice and at the end it says the iPhone isn't connected when it is.
Anyone else experiencing this? and found a solution?? i really don't want to take it to apple cause i live an hour from the closest shop. Thanks!

When I try to put the downloaded firefox into the application folder, it says a newrer version already exists, do you want to replace it. What should I do.

I have several older versions of Firefox in my application folder. I downloaded 5.0 and when I went to put it into my application folder a pop up window said a NEWER version already is in the folder - do I want to replace it.
It doesn't make sense. It won't just accept the new version as it previously did with other versions. I just want to know if I should go ahead and replace version.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
