Changing network providers

Hi
I had my iphone 3GS on o2 originally but have had a replacement handset from the apple store so I think it's unlocked. I'm now with vodafone and can't seem to get my new sim to work in my old phone. Can anybody suggest a way I can do this?
Thanks

had a replacement handset from the apple store so I think it's unlocked.
You thought wrong. Apple replacement phones are the same as the original - if the original was carrier locked to O2, so is the replacement. The fact that your's doesn't work with a Vodafone SIM confirms that
The only way to unlock your phone from O2 is to get O2 to authorize that. Contact them/

HT1766 how do i change network providers on my iphone

how do i change networks providers on my iphone

You would have to ask the carrier your currently on to unlock your phone -if they provide that service, then you can use another carrier.

Changing network

as i travel a lo,t i purchased a sim free unlocked iphone, and ive heard when you change network providers,and when new sim is inserted you have too reset the iphone, can anyone help me please. thanks peter.

Hi John, I can confirm this behaviour, my Q10 OS is 10.2.1.2102.
It happens irregularly once / twice a week. The phone goes into "Emergency calls only" mode and doesn't reconnect to GSM of my provider at all. I tried to leave it for 10-15 mins and nothing happend.
Other phones around were normally on signal.
Unfortunately switching to Plane mode and back doesn't help in my case. The only solution is rebooting the phone...

Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem, HELP!!

Our picture transfer from iphone, ipads and or Sony DSC-W150 camera ended when we changed int providers from xfinity to frontier. All attempts to troubleshoot have not corrected problem. The only changes to the system that was functioning properly are Fios int service and router. All apple components are using the fios router. Can anyone Help get us up and running again? Thanks

How have you been making the physical connection from:
iPhone
iPads
Sony DSC-W150 camera
...to your Mac?
If WiFi, have you changed the WiFi encryption method or WiFi password? If so, each device need the new information netered into it manually to get onto your "new" WiFi Network.

Voicemail issue since changing network (UK)

Hi,
I've recently changed networks from o2 to Three. I had my iPhone unlocked from o2 and started using my SIM 600 card that i purchased in a Three store.
Initially i had no issue until i was left a voicemail. I soon realised that Three don't offer the visual voicemail facility, however this isn't the issue. On checking my voicemail and deleting it; i've now found that i constantly have the red dot icon (blank) over the voicemail tab on my "phone" app.
I've checked my voicemails and have the reply fromt he voicemail stating "you have no new messages." There is no facility to check to see if there are saved messages so i can delete them, so i presume i have none. I receive the standard text message stating i have voicemail when i reboot the phone, even though i have no voicemail on checking! I've also found that when i check, my iPhone keeps checking for email and also for App updates when i have Email set to Manual (not pushed or fetched) and i certainly ain't hit the App Store!
I've spoken to Three who said that there isn't an issue with the voicemail settings as its working however the technical customer advisor asked me to wait whilst he checked to see if there was anything else he could do to help me. On coming back he said that the tech department are investigating a potential issue to identify whether its a fault on the iPhone side or if its a fault on the Three side. My iPhone was working perfectly well with o2 and on removing the Three sim, and replacing it with another sim it worked perfectly well so i assume its Three's issue which is what i told him.
I've tried a soft reset, i've tried a full restore - setting it up as a new phone or with a backup, still remains. I've tried calling and leaving a voicemail to see if i can flush the system, but nothing. My colleague at work is on Three with the same iPhone, same iOS update etc etc and she doesn't have the issue so I'm bemused.
I read somewhere it could have something to do with the micro sim being an old and outdated sim - could this be the case?
I'm looking for people's help as i'm heading to the Three store on Saturday to request a new micro sim so wanting some bullets to fire when i get there...
If anyone can help, i'd be sincerely grateful!
Cheers
Paul

Just as an update before i close the topic off...
Went into the Three store today and explained the situation to the same guy who sorted the contract out for me. He said he'd never come across it before and couldn't understand why it was happening.
I chanced my arm a little and although it was more or less the whole truth i'd bent the truth a little about the customer services number who didn't have a clue anyway and said that i'd done a bit digging on the internet and mentioned about the micro sim being outdated or something similar. He then offered to try it to sort the issue out, gave me a new micro sim and transferred my details over...got home and swapped the micro sims over.
Voila, icon vanished and no issues thus far...on looking a little closer on the packaging that the micro sim comes with, the initial one i had was from Aug 2011, the newer one was from October 2011 so it may be possible that the post i'd found from googling the issue was correct.
If the issue arises again i'll add to the topic, however so far so good - so i hope that others who may have this issue see this and try the above!
Cheers

I changed internet providers and email accounts. I have managed to set up a new Apple ID but my I-phone is not recognizing it.

I recently changed internet providers and thus had to set up a new email account. I managed to change my Apple ID but my I-phone 4S is not recognizing it. It still brings up the old user ID. I am also unable to retrieve Windows Mail (also wants old info) I synced my phone. What else can I do?

Windows 2012: change network profile

Hi i have a query, how to change network profile to public from domain in a server on Windows 2012?
Best regards
Edgar
Best Regards Edgar

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
If the server is domain joined, when it starts to detect the network location, the machine will contact a DC via port 389. If this detection successful, it will get the domain profile. And we cannot change it. If the domain was not found or process failed,
NLA will let you to determine which firewall profile will be used, private or public.
For more information about Network Location Awareness, you may refer to the following article. It also applies to Windows 2012.
Network Location Awareness (NLA) and how it relates to Windows Firewall Profiles

Changing internet providers and need to change my address. Would like to use 3 apple addresses. How do I do this

I'm unfamiliear with the proper terms, but I need to change internet providers and don't want to use the new provider's address. I understand that I can use an Apple address for 3 addresses. Help!

Heard it in conversations. I'm tryinng to set up e-mail communications for my husband to his computer and 2 for myself (computer and phone) and also would like to use one that's set aside for e-mail ordering, etc. so if my address is sold I won't get so much junk on my regular e-mail.

Server 2012 R2 - Change network location from public to private

I am having an issue with changing Network location to private from Public on Server 2012 R2 X64 .
Please note all the reference for previous servers for fixing this issue does not work on 2012 R2.
I am using Static-IP and "Workgroup" as domain setting.
In 2012 server by Right clicking on Network and Turn sharing on or OFF worked but in 2012- R2 Right click is not working not providing turn sharing ON or OFF option.

Check if you can change from here :
Run -- Gpedit.msc-- Open Computer configration -->Windows Settings -->Security Settings -->select Network list manager policies

NO it did not work I had already tired and rebooted it does not work. Just for other having the same issue please note my Build is 9600 so this may not apply to you,if you have a different Build you might not have this problem.
I am going back to server2012 rather using R2.

How do you change network location type on Server 2012?

Within Network & Sharing Center there appears to be no options available to change a network type as you could do in Server 2012?
Within Network List Manager policies everything is set to "not configured" so this should not be disabling any functionality.
Thanks.

Hi,
Firstly, if the server is domain joined, when it starts to detect the network location, the machine will contact a DC via port 389. If this detection successful, it will get the domain profile. And we cannot change it.
However, if the server is not domain joined, the domain was not found or process failed, NLA will let you to determine which firewall profile will be used, private or public.
We can do this by referring to
Turn sharing on or off or
How to change network location type in Windows 8.
Also we can refer to
Network Location Awareness (NLA) and how it relates to Windows Firewall Profiles.
All the above articles can apply to Windows Server 2012.
Hope this helps.

Change network location on a domain controller

This thing is driving me crazy. I have a virtual server with Windows Server 2012 R2. It has one NIC, which gets the internet address through the hosting company's dhcp. It is a public IP address. I've installed the Microsoft Virtual Network Adapter, which
has a Static IP of 10.0.0.1. The server was upgraded to be a domain controller.
Now the problem: it detects both networks as domain joined and puts them under the same domain profile of the firewall, although it should put NIC1 another the public profile, and NIC2 (the virtual one) under domain.
I've tried every possible thing I could think of. Going through GPO's to change network location, then blocked everything on port 389 on the firewall, so he cannot find himself put the NIC under the domain (I actually tried blocking every outgoing and incoming
connection on the firewall, it does not work), I even tried changing the registry. Nothing helps. It still puts the two cards under domain profile.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Multi-homing a DC is not recommended.

HT1695 changed broadband providers when I type in Wireless Security Key (WPA) on my Ipod it comes up as Incorrect password and I cannot log in

I have changed broadband providers - when I type in their Wireless Security Key (WPA) into my Ipod it comes up - INCORRECT PASSWORD - I know it is case sensitive I am putting in numbers and capitals but does not work. Is there another Password I should be using ???

I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion thinking that it might solve the problem but it hasn't worked.
It's possible your current os has different keychain troubleshooting solutions. Try re-posting (copy paste) over in the OS X Mountain Lion forum area and do a Knowledge Base search.
Have you tried setting up a new account to see if your issue appears there? If you have Apple Care, give them a call or take your computer to the nearest Apple Store or an AASP as you are still under warranty.

Looking for a code to change networks

hi im looking for a code to change networks can someone please help me

If you mean you want to use a different SIM on your SIM locked iPhone., there is no "code" for that. You need to contact the carrier the phone is locked to. Only they can unlock it. Apple does not unlock phones.

Textedit and preview crashing in osx lion when changing network location

I did upgrade to lion on launch and noticed that textedit and preview work quite well except when changing network location: after a few seconds of spinning ball, both crash.
Tried repairing permissions, deleting "containers" folders in my library and so on, without luck.
Anyone is experiencing the same problem?

UPDATE 2: I'm having this issue both on my iMac and my Macbook, so I suppose it's a lion bug and not simply something related to something that went wrong during the update (permissions or something like this). It's both in 10.7 and 10.7.1.
I'm going to try on my wife's Macbook to see if it's something related to some software or setting I'm using; in the meanwhile, can someone out there try to reproduce this issue? Just open textedit and change the network location from the menu bar (you should create one other than "automatic" for "locations" to show up just below "dock"): at this point you should get the spinning ball and then a window telling you that textedit just crashed. Try to do a couple of times if it doesn't crash the first one.
BTW I noticed that textedit doesn't crash if you have the network preference pane open and active ("system preferences" showed on the menu bar) and change the location from the menu bar.
I think I'm going to give a call to Applecare to see if there's some plan to get this corrected in some next update.

I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices. I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC? Thanks

I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.
