Can I swap SIM cards

I've been using a 16GB iPhone 4 for months now. Tonight I bought a 32GB iPhone for my wife. I would like to have the 32GB and give my 16GB to my wife.
If I back my 16GB up and transfer all purchases, etc. Can I simply swap SIM cards, and then restore my data to the new 32GB phone?

If you're using the same iTunes account again you can use the same backup to restore your data and settings. You'll only have to put in the passwords for network and mail again, due to security reasons.
You 32GB will be recognized as a new phone and you can set it up different from the 16GB, if you want to. Backups will be separate from that point on as well.

I have an Ipod1 with 3G and an unlimited ATT plan. I want to get an Ipad2 - can I swap SIM cards so that my unlimited service will automatically transfer to the new unit?

You don't actually swap the SIM card. For some reason, AT&T doesn't like you to do it that way.
Go to:
www.att.com/ipadlanding
edit payment information link...then update the following two fields:
IMEI:
ICCID:
You get this info from the iPad (1 or 2) select 'Settings' then 'General' then 'About'...
The IMEI and ICCID info is on that screen. No need to swap the SIM cards. This process outlined above transfers service instantly and does NOT change the plan type, billing, user info, or days remaining. Basically anytime an ATT customer wants to move a data plan the ATT iPad web page is all you need. No phone call!
It took me about 3 minutes and worked perfectly.

I have no idea what you mean by that. This is what you need:

Also, is your iPhone 3 carrier locked? If so, only a sim from the carrier your phone is locked to will work.

Can I swap sim cards from an old iPhone 4 to another iPhone 4?

My current iPhone 4 is pretty beat up. My dad's, however, is in phenomenal condition. He actually just upgraded to the 4S and asked me to sell his 4 for him. What I want to do is sell mine and keep his. Is this just a matter of swapping sim cards?

Yes and no. Yes you can switch but the IEMI number is associated with the sim card and you will have some problems. I did this when I had to buy a new phone for my son. He had the 3GS and we just swapped the sim cards. Well his data wasn't working but a call to AT&T fixed the problem quickly after they changed the IEMI number in their system.

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.

The CDMA iPhone 4 does not use a SIM at all. There is no SIM slot. It is a pure CDMA phone.

HOW CAN I CHANGE SIM CARD TO NANO CARD?

HOW CAN I CHANGE SIM CARD TO NANO CARD?

Just contact your network provider & they will issue you with a nano sim card & transfer your phone number over to it.
I did this with Vodafone (UK) on my current sim only plan and the new nano sim card was live with my original number within 20 minutes of leaving the shop.

Are iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina both "SIM unlocked" in US? Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?

I'm planning to buy iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina during my trip to US.
Are they both "SIM unlocked"?
Can I use SIM cards sold in other countries?
Do I need any treatment or/and application when purchase?

If you are not concerned about LTE bands (which will be more diverse and hit-or-miss) the only ones that will matter are these...
3G: UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
2G: GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
This covers almost all the 2G and 3G standards. You will most likely be ok on 3G and in edge cases, at an absolute minimum you will have EDGE speeds since both US and EU frequencies are covered - blech :-)

Can not find sim card

I already insert Sim card but iPad can not find Sim card and show non Sim card

Restart the Ipad. I have done that when I first put it in and that solved it. I held the home and power button at the same time to restart though. Also make sure the sim is in the right way.

Hi, I have the iPhone 4S (not due for upgrade) but hubby has iphone 5s. Can we swap sims over to either phone? Many thanks pauline

Hi, I have iPhone 4S (not due upgrade) my hubby has IPhone 5s can we swap sims in each our phones? Many thanks

Not a simple matter of just swapping sims. First, go to your carrier's store & get new sims for each phone...you a nano for the 5S, your husband a sim for his phone. Then:
On each phone, turn off FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone & delete the iCloud account.
Back up each phone, then: Settings>General>Reset Erase All Content & Settings. Once complete, turn both phones off & swap sims. Turn each phone on & restore from the backups you made. Follow this by syncing iTunes content back to each phone. Call your carrier & make sure they have the correct IMEI's for each account/phone.
That's it, that's all you have to do.

Can you take SIM cards out of American iPhones and insert prepaid simcards? I'm in Australia

Can you take SIM cards out of American iphone4 to insert prepaid SIM cards? I did not realize there was a difference between American and Australian iPhones.

"How can I tell if it is officially unlocked? "'
Did you buy it from Apple as unlocked?
" I'm guessing I also have to disassemble the phone to get to the SIM card inside?"
No.
You really should read the manual. Just eject the card.

Can I buy an iPad2 in US and have it unlocked so I can add a SIM card in South Africa where I will be living.

Can I buy an iPad2 in US and have it unlocked so I can add a SIM card in South Africa where I will be living?
I have read that the AT&T model is "unlocked". Is this true? Do I have to ask them to unlock it?

According to http://www.ipadincanada.ca/ipad-news/apple-confirms-ipad-2-3g-att-model-from-us- unlocked/ all GSM versions of iPad 2's are unlocked. In the U.S.A. AT&T version is the GSM version, and you should be able to use it with GSM carriers in other countries if you buy their SIM.

BlackBerry Z10 Second can't detect Sim card

Hi All
I just bought a Blackberry Z10, secondhand from people I met from Internet
The Blackberry is still kinda new, used only for a month. And I got it pretty much cheaper
But the problem is, this Z10 can't detect sim card (yes the previous owner been telling about this before. She said its happened after she's upgrading the software)
So, I bought it, and re-installed the software (10,2 - 10,3 - even back to 10,1) still not working.
I'm trying to search the similar issues on Google, and found that it possibly because the simcard reader is broken
I check the simcard reader, I'm not really sure, but yes, seems there one pins missing on there. I saw only 3 pins on my Z10 simcard reader. Haven't seen any other Z10. Would you mind to check your Z10? How many pins on there?
And also, does the warranty will cover this issues if I claim it? I mean, it seems because human-error (previous owner might put the sim card not really carefully).
If not, how much it cost to fix it and change the simcard reader part? Well think I'm not gonna gambling anymore to buy a cheap gadget in the hope I can't fix it by myself
Thank you for help!

Hi Aliarroughi
Z10 I have a 3 sim card reader. there seems to be damage to your z10 sim card reader. try to correct the sim card reader price only $ 25
