Do I have to have an unlock code to change my SIM card and use my iPad in France
My iPad 2 has an Orange SIM card which is quite expensive to use roaming, during a trip to France at Easter with our camper found it very difficult to find a good WiFi connection (couldn't find anything usable to Skype). I understand that we could now get a Pay as you go SIM from 3 that can be used in Europe, can anyone tell me whether I need an unlock code to swap this over?
Thank you
Depends on whether you bought your iPad from Orange on a contract with the SIM already in there or whether you bought the iPad unlocked directly from Apple and then bought a SIM from Orange separately.
If you got it unlocked from Apple then you can put any SIM in there. If you didn't and are still under contract to Orange then I doubt they would allow you to put a Three SIM in there (i.e. unlock it).

The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today instead of my old phone (not an iphone). I have not seen any such steps. Help?
I suspect the salesperson that told you that meant your online account with your carrier...have you tried logging into your carrier account online? To do this will require the sim number on your sim card, as well as the phone's IMEI number...you get the sim number off the sim card & the IMEI number, for the phone, is printed on the box.

Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?
Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

I changed my sim card and i can't unlocked the iphone (the password reamains the same)
I changed my Sim card and after insert it into the old iPhone (5) I can't unlocked it anymore. I'm using the same 4 number password.
What is the exact error you're getting? Are you sure it's not asking you to unlock the SIM?

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.

I HAVE A PREPAID PHONE AS I GO. WHEN I TRAVEL TO MALAYSIA, I AM GOING TO BRING THIS PHONE WITH ME. CAN I BUY SIMS CARD OVER THERE AND ASK THE SELLER TO PUT IN MINUTES FOR ME? WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION?
That sounds like a great trip urgent! Ann154 asked a great question. Please share which prepaid device you have. 3G Prepaid Phone in a Box (PIB) is restricted for use with prepaid service for 6 consecutive months after activation, and is locked to the VZW network for 12 months after activation.
• After 6 consecutive months, the restriction to prepaid service is automatically removed.
• After 12 months, customers can dial *611 from their VZW prepaid phones or 888-294-6804, to receive the programming code to unlock their phones.
• Non-PIB prepaid devices are not locked, but may require a program code to use with another carrier - typically "000000" or "123456." Sim lock does not apply to any VZW 4G LTE device with global roaming capabilities. These devices are able to be used with a third party local sim card without any additional steps to unlock the device. Thank you.

Can anyone help me, I have an unlock code off vodafone to change networks. And I'm stuck in what to do now I have the code. If anyone can help it will be much appreciated. Thanks Kelly.
Unlock 'codes' are not provided for unlocking iPhones. Whatever they have given you is useless.
Once Vodafone have confirmed your iPhone is unlocked, you connect it to iTunes on your computer for the actual unlocking to take place. iTunes will show a Congratulations message on screen when the unlock is done.
No codes are required. -

I recently had to cancel my debit card because of unauthorized purchases on Facebook. I have tried to update with 4 different credit cards and every time I get a message saying invalid security code. How do I fix this?
Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances." -

Hpls help me ,my iphone does not work after i updated and restore it..it says that u have to change ur Sim Card..cuz the carrier that u use its not known
But it has worked perfectly before the update!Your iPhone was almost certainly jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier. Restoring the iPhone has now removed that jailbreak and the iPhone has relocked back to the original carrier. Only that carrier can authorize an official, permanent unlock, so you will need to contact that original carrier and ask if you would qualify for unlocking.

Hi there ..
i have an iPhone 4S, i bought from iraq ( Bagghdad ) and now i leave in france ( Poitiers ) i have with me the box and what's in the box . i bought before 10 months so i didn't complete my first year of garanty, can i change my phone without any paper of garanty ? because i read in thier website
" Warranty
Every iPhone includes 90 days of free telephone technical support and a one-year limited warranty. "
so can i change it while am in france ?The iPhone is not sold officially by Apple in Irag so no telling which country this iPhone was intended for by Apple when new.
The iPhone's warranty is not a worldwide warranty, and if this iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new and was hacked/jailbroken to be unlocked, the warranty is void if this is discovered/determined by Apple.
You can make an appointment at an Apple Store in France to determine which country this iPhone was intended for by Apple when new.
