Can I swap out a iPhone 4 sim card into a iPhone 5 with the same carrier?
Here is the situation. I used to have Sprint as my personal cellphone carrier and just had bought an iPhone 5 when my employer put me on a business cellphone plan that they pay for. They bought one of the bargain basement original iPhone 4 handsets (not to be confused with the 4S) for employees to use, also on the Sprint network. The phone is owned by them; the plan is paid for by them. We just get to use it. As a result, I decided to just close out my personal cellphone account, even though it was a better phone. I used my 64GB iPhone 5 as my iPod, it worked great for music, apps, books, etc that I needed, and I just used the 8GB iPhone 4 just for phone calls and text messages.
Well recently, with the 5C and 5S being released, I wanted to know if the iPhone 4 could be upgraded by my employer to a new handset, preferably a 32 GB 5C or a 16 GB 5S. My employer has been slow to respond, because there are so many employee accounts to weed through and most are perfectly fine with an older phone. I am not, because the new operating system is slower on an iPhone 4 than an iPhone 5.
I want to ask my employer if its possible to get the SIM card from the iPhone 4 just swapped out into the iPhone 5. Is that possible? I understand that there is a size difference in the SIM cards. Is this something I could do myself, just pop it out and pop it in in the new handset? Or is this something that will require going to my employer to do, or to a Sprint store and have them do it? Do I have to be concerned with warranties being voided if I want to do this? (Keep in mind the iPhone 4 is my EMPLOYER's property, and they pay the bill as well. My inactive iPhone 5 is MY PROPERTY and has no current cellular service.)

No, iPhone 4/4S uses micro-sim and iPhone 5/5C/5S uses nano-sim.

Sim free is not enough, you can use different sim if it's unlock.

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. -
I have changed my account to SIM only and when I put my new SIM Card into my iPhone 4 it just says 'no service' in the top left corner, also iMessage has stopped working too. I can only use my phone on my WiFi at the moment, does anyone have any idea?
I already have, I contacted Orange yesterday and they said I will receive a text to confirm the registrastion for my new SIM Card, they said the text would arrive between 2 and 24 hours and its been over 24 hours with no text recieved

My iPhone 3Gs (version 4.3.2) has decided to no longer connect to my service provider/carrier (vodafone AU). There are 3 iPhone 4's (version 4.1) using the same carrier living in the same location, having no related issues. I have thought about updating firmware or restoring the iPhone, but not sure if thats the way to go?? My iPhone starts out recognising my carrier....searches & searches... but then.... connection "FAILS" and states "my network provider is no longer available"!! Any suggestions?...please!!
Anyone at all can advise- still not sorted :-(

can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?
thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

CAN I USE MY REGULAR O2 SIM CARD IN A IPHONE?
If I buy a new iPhone in an Apple Store for instance, can I use my regular O2 sim card or do I need to get a new one?
ThanksThe iPhone must be activated with O2. The SIM card used is "married" to the iPhone's IMEI number, so if the iPhone ships in the UK with a new SIM card pre-installed, there isn't any benefit to using your existing SIM card for the activation process unless your SIM card stores contact info which the iPhone can import. The iPhone can import contact info from the SIM card regardless if the SIM card is used for the activation process.

Can iPhone be synced on 2 computers with the same iTunes account
I have a 3G and am running OS 3.0. I've only had my phone for about a month so I am still learning. But when I got my phone, it synced to my computer fine then when i did the 3.0 update that it wanted me to do, the phone froze, had to get it restored on my mom's computer, get her iTunes acct off and mine back on, etc. Well needless to say I am scared of upgrading to 3.1 since there are so many problems right now, I also haven't put the MMS on there either yet cause its apparently not working right.
My computer is about 5 years old and has been having issues and I think that might be the problem when I updated to 3.0. (my mom's new computer restored my phone and got 3.0 on there perfectly)
I really would like to try the 3.1 upadate, my computer at work is tons better, runs perfectly, I already have iTunes on it. So now to the question, if I plug my iPhone into my work computer, logged into my iTunes account, will it sync there too, so I can do my updates or will it tell me it can't because its already synced to another computer (even though its the same account?)
Message was edited by: nrauWe have had no issues with the update, nor has anyone we know. Most people never have an issue of any kind.
MMS is working fine for me and everyone I know.
Iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. -
Can I swap sim cards between 2 phones on the same account?
I have an iPhone 5 AT&T still in contract and a second phone iPhone 4 out of contract. I want to upgrade the 4 to a 5s and then swap the SIM cards between them. I know Verizon lets you move the phone upgrades bewteen phones within the same account. Does ATT?
I have an iPhone 4 ATT out of contract and upgraded to an iPhone 5s ATT. The iPhone 4 is still on iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there for testing purposes. I have been taking the SIM out of my 5s and putting it into my 4 (using adapter purchased on amazon). This has been working perfectly so far.
Note that both phones were purchased under the same contract. When I say the iPhone was "out of contract" I mean it had been more than two years so I was month to month at the time I upgraded to the 5s -- at which point I went to a 2 year contract again.
Hope this helps. -
Can I use the same GSM sim card from my 4s with the iphone 5?
I'm from the Bahamas and I wanted to know if I can still use my same GSM sim card in the new iphone 5, do the iphone 5 GSM sim cards have to get cut smaller like they did with the iphone 4s sim cards???
If there is no other option, you can cut the old SIM and rub it down to make it thinner, but be prepared for it not to work and the SIM ruined..

I want to buy an iphone but use the optus sim im currently using in my nokia phone, is that possible? and can i swap sims over all the time if the iphones unlocked?
Is your optus SIM a full size one or a microSIM? If the latter you will have to cut it to make it fit in the iPhone. It would be easier just to get a new one from Optus.
