Can i use my 3gs sim in an iphone 4

hey guys!! i know the i phone 4 uses a micro sim is their anyway to transfer my current 3gs number and price plan to a micro sim or would i need to start all over again?

That would be a question for your Mobile Provider, but Yes you should be able transfer your current SIM to a Micro SIM and keep the same number and contract, I did with O2 in the UK fine, took a few hours once my old SIM lost signal the new Micro SIM was active with my number as normal.

Can I use my old SIM card from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 6 ?

I have a iPhone 3gs for over 3 years . I Was wondering if I could reuse my SIM card from 3gs to the iPhone 6 ? Since the iPhone 6 cost $199 I wanted to know if it's possible to use an old SIM card and put it in the new phone

No.
The SIM cards are different sizes.
Just get a new one from your carrier, if the iphone does not already have one.

If I buy a Iphone 4 that has no sim card, can I use my 3gs sim card to activate this Iphone 4?

I found an Iphone 4 on ebay, and am wondering if I can insert my sim card from my 3gs phone, and get it to work, and then sync it with all my purchases on Itunes? I dont want to pay that much for a phone without being sure. Please advise what options I have. Thx

Yes, your SIM Card is compatible with the iPhone 4, but it will have to be cut to size of Micro SIM to fit in iPhone 4. Your Carrier can easily transfer your # to a Micro SIM for you. If in the US go to ATT store and they can provide you with Micro SIM Card.

Can I use the nano sim card of iPhone 5C for an iPhone 4S?

My grandmother has been thinking of buying an iPhone 5C (because she saw a good deal) and she wants to give it to me and use her old iPhone 4S. The problem is that she wants to use the nano sim card of the 5C for her 4S in order to save her phone number that she will receive once she buys the phone. Is it possible for a 4S to work with the sim card of a 5C?

if you use an adaptor to make it a microSim if thats what your 4s use then yes

How can I use an 02 SIM on my iphone 4s which was originally on Orange?

Hi,
I purchased an iPhone 4S approx 2 years ago from Carphone Warehouse on Orange/EE. At the end of the 2 years I decided to leave Orange and use O2. I called up Orange to unlock my phone but they told me as the phone was purchased from Carphone Warehouse they cannot unlock it. I went to Carphone Warehouse and they said they do not unlock phones.
I've looked online and found this link :
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014
I restored my phone and the my O2 sim does still not work. I get this message now:
"SIM Not Valid
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currerntly assigned by the activation server. This is not a a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information".
So now I am stumped on what to do next - it seems impossible for me to get this phone unlocked. I've spoken to market phone vendors and they are all quoting me £120 - which seems pointless.
If anyone has any advice or suggestion I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks,

Jailbreaking is not done to attract malware and possibility and in most cases it is not the case. You are supposedly assuming that jailbreaking is done as jailbreakers "like malware". Your statement is wrong as in essence, jailbreaking your iPhone means freeing it from the limitations imposed on it by your carrier, whether that's AT&T or Verizon, and Apple. It lets you do everything from customizing the look of your iPhone to installing third-party applications (such as titles that are not authorized and available in the App Store) and customized ringtones on it. Depending on how far you're willing to go, you can do even more than that: Jailbreaking even lets you to unlock your phone so you can use it with a carrier other than the one from which you purchased it and in my case you can enable continuity.
The statement was in the spirit of irony. And no, I do not assume users jailbreak because they actually want malware. However, jailbreaking does indeed make the device far more susceptible to such, and it also occurs far more than you seem to think.

Iphone 4s - can I use 2 different sim cards?, iphone 4s - can I use 2 different sim cards?

If the iPhone is officially unlocked, yes. If it is under contract with a provider, No.

Can I use a Turkish Sim in my IPhone

I have an IPhone 4S and frequently visit Turkey. I've heard that English phones are blocked when using Turkish Sims - will this damage or effect future use of my phone in England

Is your iPhone locked to a wireless provider in the UK or is it unlocked? From what
seller did you purchase your iPhone?

Can i use my prepaid sim in an iphone 4? or do i need to swap sims

hi
im thinking about getting an iphone 4, but not on a plan just want to pay outright and still have my prepaid. question is if my prepaid sim will fit in the iphone

iphone 4 takes a micro sim. If that is what you have then you should be fine provided it is an official unlocked phone that you buy

I want an iPhone 3gs as I currently have a nokia lumia 620 but can I use my micro sim in the 3gs

Hi i want an iPhone 3gs but can i use my micro sim or do i need a sim adapter? answer soon

The iPhone 3GS takes a standard full-size SIM. It's possible that an adapter will work, but it will probably be more reliable if you get a full-size SIM from yur cell carrier.
EDIT: I concur with Tim. The 3GS is a very old model now, as smartphones go, so I would suggest a newer model, saving up if you have to. I myself wouldn't buy anything older than an iPhone 4S at this point.
Regards.

Can I use a local sim card with my Australian bought iPhone and iPad?

I bought my iPhone 4 and iPad2 in Australia. I'm travelling to South Korea and Japan for two weeks. Can I use a local sim card with my Australian bought iPhone? If so, can I still link my iPad2 to my iPhone4 with a personal hot spot?

Only if your phone is officially unlocked. Is it?

Can i use a GSM sim on a CDMA iPhone 4S after a CDMA factory unlock?

I just got an iPhone 4S as a gift from my cousin in Canada. Upon trying to get a factory unlock for it i was informed that it is a CDMA phone. If unlocked can i use a GSM sim with it? Am in South Africa.

There is no way to "unlock" a CDMA iPhone. Only the sim slot can be officially unlocked, and that can only be authorized by the carrier the phone is locked to. None of the Canadian carriers will authorize such unless you are a current/former customer who used the phone on their network...obviously, not you. Thus, there is no way for you to get the sim slot unlocked. Send it back to your cousin & have him/her get the sim slot unlocked.

IPhone 4S fell on some water, was working but now won't work. I got a replacement coming. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone if it wasn't damaged? Will I get my pictures and contacts and messages back if it wasn't damaged?

My iPhone 4S accidentally fell into a very shallow bit of water. The phone was wet, but worked afterwards for a short bit. Now it's not working, so I called and got a replacement phone coming. Same exact phone. Can I use the old Sim card in the new phone without harming anything? I don't know if the sim card got messed up or not, but I had a lot of pictures and messages and my contacts on my phone, and I assume these were on the sim card or am I wrong? I just wan to know if I can use the old sim card if it's still working in the new phone that is coming, as long as there was no damage to it? Thanks

I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

"can i use a 4g sim in 3g ipad" "Bell Canada"

Can I use a 4G Sim card in a 3G ipad 2? I'm with Bell Canada

Sorry, I just saw the end of your reply: "Why don't you just get a 3G SIM?"
Because of a communication glitch. I told the salesman I had a 3G ipad, or at least I think I did. There was a promotion, 2 months of unlimited data for 5$ a month, which I signed up for. With the contract came a cardboard SIM enclosure that has "4G" written on the right-hand corner (I saw that only when I got home)- I did not ask for the SIM card.
I'm going back to the store tomorrow for an exchange. There already is a 3G SIM in there which I planned to activate around this time of year, but for which there doesn't seem to be the same special offer.

You would need to call your mobile carrier and inquire about their policies and ability for "tethering."
Hope this helps
