Can I use my UK iPhone with another sim overseas?

I'm on holiday and I bought a local sim but my iPhone won't accept it even it's unlocked...

I can get calls with it using my UK sim (legally unlocked by my carrier O2) but I'd like to use it to make local calls.
On the screen I'm getting normal icons but in the top left hand corner...no signal.  It just pops up and then it goes off.
I tried turning the handset off and on but no joy...

  • TS2755 Can I use my unlocked Iphone with no sim card, like an Ipod?

    I am being deployed and had my account paused (ATT) untill I return. My service is currently off. The ATT rep said that I would need to take the sim card out when updating any apps or it might revert back and lock the phone again. I am trying to message (text) my wife with message (she has an I phone 3gs). I am gettign aerror message. when I go to settings/messages I truned everything off except imessage. By accident, I truned it off, when I turned it on it says "waiting for activation..." any help would be much appreciated.

  • HT3939 Am An Iphone Costumer  i purchased iphone 5 s in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

    hello,
    Am An Iphone Costumer  i purchased an iphone 5S in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

    Well, surely you know which carrier you were using in the UAE when you purchased the phone?
    You can tell if the phone is unlocked if you put a new sim card in the phone and it works - if you put a new sim card in the phone and it comes up with 'sim card invalid', then the phone is locked and you'll need to get it unlocked.

    Can I use find my iPhone with out an iCloud account?

    Ok! So there's no way around it then? My friend has an iPhone 4 that she got used and the 3 available account have been used up. I understand how that works but was wondering if there was a way around that so she could still use the find my iPhone app to locate the phone if needed. Thxs

  • Can I use Find My iPhone with my Apple Watch?

    Can I use Find My iPhone with my Apple Watch? Is there an app for it on Apple Watch? Can I add my Apple Watch to my Find My iPhone Account?

    No. No. And No.
    You can 'ping' your phone and have it play a sound (even if it's muted) from the watch, but it must be in range... That's intended to help you locate it if it's nearby but you forgot where you put it, or it slipped behind a couch cushion or something.

    I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

  • HT204053 Can I use find my iPhone with the iCloud if I didn't  have it set up before I lost/ stolen iPhone

    My iPhone 4S was lost / stolen I don't think  I had iCloud on it for pictures on iCloud that were on my phone
    Number 2. Would I be able to use find my iPhone if I didn't activate the app before it was lost . Some one told me today they signed on and they were able to find their iPhone

    If the "Find My iPhone" was enabled in your iCloud Settings on your phone - it does not matter if you had the "App" on there or not. It will report, if it has not been deleted / restored / etc.
    Have you tried logging into http://www.icloud.com and see if your device is listed? If it is, then place your phone into "Lost Mode" and put a phone number where you can be reached.

  • Can I create a Palm Profile with another SIM?

    I have just received an unlocked Palm Pre 2 from my company but I am unable to use it as my SIM card is not enabled for data connections.
    Can I use another SIM that is enabled for data connections to create the profile, and then continue to use my own SIM in the phone? Obviously without any data services but at least with voice calls and SMS enabled.
    regards,
    Philip

    I never got an answer to this. The "fix" was that my SIM should have had data services and the provider had failed to enable them. When I managed to get to the correct helpdesk the SIM was then enabled for data services and I was able to create the profile.

  • Using unlocked Aus iPhone with USA sim card?

    I'm moving to USA from Australia, if i unlock my iPhone can i use it normally with a USA sim such as Verizon or AT&T?

    If it is officially unlocked you will certainly be able to use it with AT&T, but not with Version as they do not even use sims.  Yours is a GSM handset and Verison use a different version.

  • Using the iPhone with another SIM???

    Hi,
    I am really considering getting an iPhone 3GS at the weekend. However I was wondering if it would be fully operational using a sim card other than the one given with it. I know it will be locked to the network but I dont know if its a special sim or whatever. Basically I work for a phone company and I get a unlimited everything package through them so I was going to get the iPhone on pay g and use my sim card. But if i cant access iTunes etc then I dont think I'd bother.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    When you switch SIM cards, you need to re-activate the iPhone (via iTunes). So, you'd need to re-activate when you swapped SIM cards, but it's possible as long as can sync with iTunes and are using a SIM card from the same carrier your iPhone is locked to.

  • Can i use my Airport Express with another Airport express w/o base station

    I was wondering if i could use one airport for my main internet and the other one for useing my ps2 online (hooking up a cable to go from the ps2 to the airport) Would the 2nd airport express pick up the others internet?

    Yes you can using WDS.
    Configure the first base station I presume as a
    wireless access point connected to your main router
    by cable.
    Configure the second to extend the network of the
    first.

    If Sprint unlocks the radio you can. But the only other carrier that may work on is Verizon. And that's just voice and text. Data may not work on it.

  • Can I use 2 different iPhones (and iTunes libraries) with one ATV2?  How?

    My wife and I just bought an ATV2. We both have and use iPhone 3Gs's. I installed the remote app on both phones, but I am only able to control the ATV2 with the first phone I synced with ATV2. It doesn't seem that ATV2 cares what library it links to since the user has to turn on "Home Sharing" in their individual iTunes account. ATV2 appears to be set up so that you can choose what library you want to use (Under the settings). So can I use two different iPhones with one ATV2?

    You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time. So both phones would need to be signed in under the same apple ID.

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.
