Can I use a SIM card for my activated I phone on a locked phone

I recently lost my I phone 5 , I called claims reported it as stolen then I just found it today I was wondering if I took the SIM card out of the replacement can I use it on the phone they locked

What I mean by locked , is that Verizon locked my I phones serial number , so they stuck it on a "blacklist" I was wondering if it would be possible if I used a different SIM card if the phone would still be workable or is it junk

  • Hi Guys, Im getting a secnond-hand Iphone 4S and im going to use it as an ipod. How will i set it up if i dont want a SIM Card?? And if i use a SIM card for the activation then can i take it out??

    Hi Guys, so im getting an iphone 4S as a hamy-down and im gonna use it as an ipod without a SIM Card. Im going to put my backup data on it from my old device. How will I activate it? Can i use my family members SIM (SIM that has been used in an iPhone before) to activate it,  then can i take it out and use it without a SIM.
    Regards, PulseSol

    You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed. So, yes, you'll need a sim card to activate the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. While you can remove it, after the phone is activated, I recommend you don't. If you ever need to restore the phone, or update the iOS, you'll need a sim card installed to do so.
    Make sure whoever is furnishing the phone to you, follows the directions here, before you get the phone:

  • Can you use an iphone in Haiti using a SIM card for airtime?

    Can you use a SIM card for airtime minutes in an iphone in Haiti?

    You will need the SIM card that was used when the iPhone was activated in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed.
    If you have an activated SIM card with the same carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, you can use that SIM card with a restore.

  • Can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?

    Not as it is, no. The iPhone 4 takes micro-SIMs. It is apparently possible to cut down a standard SIM, but it would be best to just get a new micro-SIM from your cell carrier.

  • Can I use a sim card from my galaxy S3 for and iphone

    Wanted to know if I purchase an iphone 5 can I use the sim card from my Galaxy S3 Verizon phone.

    hi there,
    unfortunately you cannot.
    The iPhone 5 uses a 4th generation SIM card (NanoSIM) while the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses a 3rd generation MicroSIM. You can however use your existing MicroSIM in an iPhone 4 or 4S
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • How can I get a sim card for Japan and will it work with my locked Iphone 6

    How can I get a sim card for Japan and will it work with my locked Iphone 6

    You cannot use a SIM card on a carrier locaked phone, other than a sim from the carrier the phone is locked to. You must first get the carrier it is locked to, to unlock your phone. Apple does not unlock phones.

  • Can I use the SIM card from an Iphone 4s in a new Iphone 5?

    Can I use the SIM card from an Iphone 4s in a new Iphone 5?

    Yes you can install your current sim into the mini iPad. You have to cut the current sim to the nano sim. There are cutter available on eBay and amazon. You go to your local best-buy. They have it for sale. Just be carefully to align properly or else you will end damaging your current sim. Any little damage to the current sim will render it unusable.

  • I have a mifi 2200. Can I use the sim card in it in my new jetpack?

    I have a mifi 2200. Can I use the sim card in it in my new jetpack?

        Hi Mike, congrats on the new jetpack! As evdotech mentioned, the MiFi 2200 does not use SIM cards because it is a 3G device. You would need a new SIM card for your jetpack. You can receive a software update in a VZW corporate store or by choosing Activate or Switch Device on My Verizon. This will ask for the SIM card number or ask if you need one mailed.
    I hope that helps!

  • HT1807 Can I use a sim card from Taiwan when I go there in a month on the new iPhone 5

    I am just wondering if I buy the new iPhone 5 on pay as you go. Can I use a sim card from a different country. I am off to Taiwan for 6 months in a month and would like to take the iPhone with me

    If your phone is officially unlocked, & either of the three authorized carriers, in Taiwan, have nano sims available, yes. Otherwise you'll have to get International Provisioning activated for your account & use the phone while roaming...very expensive.

    I want to upgrade my iPhone 3G to a used iPhone 4, can I use the sim card already in the 4 or must purchase a new sim card?

    You might want to ask you carrier that question.  I can tell you that when I gave my old iPhone 4 to my wife we were able to get my old sim card that was in the 4 reprogrammed with the wife's phone number.  The AT&T store didn't charge us to do this.
