Can't Change SIM Cards

Around a month ago I switched from the Original iPhone to the 3G. Well, yesterday I lost it while skiing and never expect to see it again. I went to AT&T and they gave me a new SIM card. I put it in my old iPhone and it asks me to plug it in to the computer. When I do this, it acts like I just bought the phone and tries to add a new iPhone data plan to my account. I am already paying for the data from the 3G and just want to be able to use the phone. Anyone have an suggestions?

Hi CFirsch,
The original iPhone needs to be activated in iTunes.
The data plans are priced differently, so you may want to contact AT&T and see what options are available for your account.

  • 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.

  • I bought an ipad 4th generation with wi fi 4g verizon can I change SIM card and use att sim card

    Can I change my verizon SIM card to att sim will it work on my ipad 4th generation wi fi+4g

    Theoretically, yes. However, you'll only get 3G speeds. You won't be able to use 4G LTE.

  • After upgrading to the new iOS7, I can't send out sms, I can receive sms, can make and receive call. I have already contacted my network provider, we changed sim card, I have tried to put my sim on other phone, and it's perfectly working. Help me pls

    To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

  • How can I switch my phone from blackberry to galaxy s4 mini? Just change SIM card?

    Hi,
    I'm using Blackberry curve 9370 and wanna change it to Samsung galaxy s4 mini. I've purchased s4 mini and not yet received it. So, when I receive the new s4 mini, how can I switch it? Just change SIM card? Both SIM card sizes are the same? Or should I visit nearby verizon store? Please guide me. Thanks in advance!

        Congrats on your new phone MIn-Sun. Since your changing from a Blackberry device to an Android device you will need to make sure all your contacts are backed up. You can use backup assistance to save your contacts and restore them on your Android phone. If you're unsure you can definitely visit a store location in your area. Here are some steps http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/how-to-get-backup-assistant-blackberry/ .

  • Changing sim cards without losing music and video on iphone

    I have an iphone 3gs, with an Australian account. I have gone on a trip to London and have obtained a payg sim card here. Before I left I unlocked my iphone with my provider and am looking to use the UK sim card. My concern is that if I change sim cards I need to restore my iphone. Does this mean that I lose my music, video and podcast files? All the originals are on my pc at home in Australia. Is there a way that I can change sim cards without losing my media files in the iphone?
    thanks

    I too have an account with 3 Australia (now known as VHA) and am using it in Malaysia during my holidays here. Anyways to your question:
    No if done properly you don't even need to restore your iPhone. If your phone is already unlocked just chuck in the new SIM card and that's it.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Blackberry ID and Changing Sim cards

    Hi
    I have a BB 9810 Torch which I use for my business which uses a Vodafone SIM with my business mobile number.
    I have also recently purchased a BB Z10 and have been trialing it using a temporary SIM card on a pay as you go data tarrif and temporary phone number (with MS Active Sync to sync email, contacts & calendar with MS Outlook).
    I have now decided to swap out my BB Torch and make the Z10 my main business phone.
    I have spent around 10 hours over the last 3 days transferring all my data and configuring the settings on the BB Z10 with all my email addresses, calendars & data files etc.
    I now just need to swap the telephone number from my BB Torch to my BB Z10. I have a second micro sim and Vodafone are ready to transfer my business mobile number to the new micro sim so I can put it into the BB Z10.
    However, I have just been told that there may be a problem with some form of link between the BB ID I use on the Z10 and the temporary SIm card I have been using - and that if I change SIM card I may no longer be able to access all the data I have loaded onto the device.
    Please can you confirm if changing SIM cards on the BB Z10 causes an issue with the Blackberry ID or if there are no problems changing SIM ? (As mentioned my ISP is Vodafone UK).
    Many thanks.... gp20018   

    Your BlackBerry ID is attached to your phone's PIN, not the SIM.  If you hold a phone with a certain SIM in it and you swap in another SIM, that might affect some elements associated with your carrier but it shouldn't touch anything BlackBerry-related.
    Once you put your SIM in your Z10 (which is not the phone currently associated with your BB ID) and you sign in to your BB ID on the Z, you'll be notified that it's a new PIN and you'll be asked if you want to move your BB ID to that phone.  A simple 'yes' and you're on your way.
    Cheers.

  • HT201328 what if u don't want to change sim cards immediately?

    what if u don't want to change sim cards immediately?

    The SIM card when used with iPhone only contains your phone number and makes connection with the Carrier you have your cell phone account with. You can keep and use your old SIM Card as long as you don't inactivate it with your Carrier. I am on my fifth upgraded iPhone, and I am still using my Original Cingular SIM Card before Cingular bought ATT out, and then decided to change the company name to ATT. So using iPhone SIM Cards is very flexible, you decide everything.

  • 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

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

  • HT204053 how can I change credit card linked to account

    how can I change credit card information?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • I have Iphone 4 it was work fine in my country (bahrain) i went to UK and i change sim card to O2 and when i came back it doesn't work in my country i think because i update the carrier in Uk its my carrier now 10.0 and the others in my country is 9.0

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!

  • 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 :-)
