Can you legally remove the sim card and use it for another courier?

I wanted to buy the iPhone 3G but annoyignly O2 have adopted stupid tarrifs that make no sense, so I want to replace my Samsung phone that I bought and use with T-Mobile, with the iPhone 3G. O2 will be selling the handsets individually for PAYG, but will that mean I can only use it for O2's services still?

There isn't any info yet and don't quote me but I'd say there is very high chance it will be locked to O2 and only work with the sim card that the iphone comes with. It's doubtful it will work with the tmobile sim card.

  • Can you cut a micro sim card and use it in an unlocked iPhone 5s?

    I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s but I still have a contract and use a micro sim card. Is it possible to cut my sim card and still be able to use it with the iPhone 5s?

    There are SIM cutters, but first ask your carrier if they can provide a nano-SIM.  You will still keep the same phone number, and it won't affect he contract.

  • HT3406 After the steps suggested, does it mean i can "remove" the SIM card and use my iphone via WIFI? i can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls right?

    Is the wifi card a build in in ipod/ipad? yet build in on SIM card in iphone?

    But on WiFi, could I still use Skype to make a phone call? I have a camera adapter for the iPhone 4 and would just use it as a camera and to play music after I upgrade to a later versionof iPhone. Am I correct in assuming that I could still do everything except connect through 3G?

  • Can you Run Lion server on iMac and use monitor for another computer

    With lion server you don't need a monitor and I figure why buy a mac mini when i could by a 27" imac and use it as a display and a mac mini running lion server.
    I have been going over the scenarios and am trying to decide if I should buy the TB display or a second 27" imac.  Eventually I will have 3 27" displays... but I want to run Lion Server off of one of the imacs... and use the display with the other imac.
    do you know if it is possible to use the display of the imac for a mbp or another imac while running an operating system (lion Server) on the computer at the same time.
    not sure if I made my self clear there or not.
    Ryan

    Ryan as long as both the Mac Mini and iMac have Thunderbolt you could use the iMac as an external monitor for the Mac Mini. The current machines with Thunderbolt connections are 2011 iMacs, MacMini's, MacBook Air's & all MacBook Pros.

  • My Jetpack 5510L says that its connected to 4G but its performing very slow, I removed the sim card and did a reset of the device. Any other suggestions?

    My Jetpack 5510L says that its connected to 4G but its performing very slow, I removed the sim card and did a reset of the device. Any other suggestions?

    I don't know who you would contact at Verizon to verify this, but I suspect you are in the same situation as me.  My unlimited Jetpack is now being throttled to a basically useless speed of .10Mbps.  Sometimes as low as .04Mbps.  Turns out this is done purposely as they are evidently eliminating unlimited.  They're doing this now even though accounts still display on the my device page as unlimited.  They have given no warning, no explanation and started it in the middle of a billing cycle.  At least for me.  Be prepared to pay about double for 20GB with I think and $8 per gig overage cost.  With the 5GB plan it appears they just throttle down to an unusable speed.  Currently considering saying goodbye to Verizon myself.  Even with some need to change plans and eliminate unlimited this isn't the way to treat customers during the change.

  • Can a thief take out the sim card and use phone like new?

    I recently left my phone in a public bathroom and when I went back it was gone. So I believe someone has taken it and has turned it off. I am using Find my iPhone but the person has not turned my phone on in 3 days. I'd like to know, what could he/she possibly be doing to my phone? Could she have already taken out the sim card and started using it like a new one? Is that possible? Everyone says that it becomes a useless brick after you go through the procedures of locking it and putting it on lost mode but there is a way around it right..otherwise, why would people steal them?

    If the iPhone has iOS 7, you set up Find My iPhone, and there's a screenlock passcode, then the iPhone is unusable to the thief or anyone he sells or gives the iPhone to.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
    The thief could have restored the iPhone which would cause it to no longer appear in Find My iPhone in iCloud, but it won't be usable. People steal them because either the thief is ignorant about Activation Lock, or they depend on buyers looking for a deal will be ignorant, which if you look at the many posts here from people who've bought an iPhone from a stranger and encountered Activation Lock is proof that such ignorance still abounds.

  • IPad has a feature or insert the SIM card and use it as normal phone?

    I tried to insert the SIM card into the drip tray iPad but was too small. iPad has a feature that is inserted into the SIM card and the normal operation of the phone?

    The only way to use an iPad as a phone is via one of the Voice-Over-IP services such as Skype.
    As to your SIM issue, the iPad requires a micro-SIM, and you apparently tried to use a standard SIM. But such SIMs get you access to data services only; as pjl123 said, the iPad has no phone capability built in.

  • Time Machine: removing the backup drive and using it for other data

    I am trying to stop the time machine backups of my data and use my External HD for other data. Ia m new to the MAC world and I need to know how to do this. Almost like I want to shut Time Machine down and reformat the disk that was being used for the backups. Thanks for the help.

    The big switch in the Time Machine preference pane stops Time Machine from performing automatic backups. I would be inclined to recommend you switched that to off but left the disk assigned as designated backup disk on the Change Disk panel because, if there is nothing assigned there, Time Machine will ask you every time a disk is attached which it could use whether you wish to so assign it.
