Do I need my sims card to reset factory settings ?

I have replaced my old phone but, I want to do a factory reset and am not getting to menu to get in to privacy to do the function do I need to place my sim card to get this done ? please help !!!

    journeyman46, we can certainly help out with that! You should not need a SIM card within the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but we can certainly take a closer look to be sure. What model of device do you have?

    To use it as an iPod it must be activated...to do that it has to accept a sim.  A blacklisted iPhone cannot do that.  Take it back to AT and T where you got it and get your money back.

  • MiFi stopped working says I need a SIM card

    MiFI 5510L was working fine yesterday. Today it says it does not have a SIM card?

    Reset the Jetpack (Page 79 in the User Guide). Remove and reinstall the SIM Card located beneath the battery (page 11 & 12). Be careful not to damage it, the retain clip or frame in any way.
    If this does not resolve the problem you probably need to call Verizon Wireless Customer Service (800) 922-0204 for a replacement SIM Card or Jetpack (if under warranty).

  • I need a sim card for my 3G refurbished phone and don't know which one to use.  I get a message IMEI 01181100937 939 4 How do I find the serial number

    I can't find which carrier to use on my refurbished I phone 3 G.  The screen says I need a sim card and has the message IMEI 01 181100 937 9394.  Also ICCID unknown.

    They are free at Corporate Verizon stores; retailers usually charge for them.  You also can call Customer Service and have them send you one.
    And you don't need a SIM card to activate an iPhone 4S on VzW's network.

  • Will the MacBook Pro need a SIM card or any type of plan

    I'd like to know if there was a need to put a SIM card or some sort of insert when I get the MacBook . Do I need a plan to operate the laptop ? Aswell as programming ... Will Microsoft word and PowerPoint be included with the system or will I need to purchase the program separately ?

    You dont need a SIM card or any insert, nor any kind of plan or programming knowledge. Microsoft products will need to be purchased separately.
    If this is going to be your first Mac, you need just plain common sense. And read up a bit too:

  • Do you need the SIM card when changing to another iphone

    Do you need the SIM card when changing to another iphone

    You posted in the iPod Shuffle forum; it might be best to post in the iPad forum, as I was a bit confused at first. Anyway,
    It doesn't need a SIM to download apps if you have Wi-Fi. Can you describe this box a little more, or better yet, screenshot it?
    Taking a Screenshot:
    Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.
    Get the photo on your computer and upload it here.
    If you don't want to do this, can you describe it a little more? When you say "black box," I'm guessing it's an outlined box that appears around any item that you tap on. Is this correct? If so, it sounds like VoiceOver was enabled. See:
    Turning VoiceOver On or Off

    After reviewing your other posts, I have to agree with psycho that your phone is probably a fake. You should return it to the person you bought it from for a refund.

  • I need a sim card for my iPhone 5 from sprint but they won't give me one,I really need one

    I need a sim card for my iPhone 5,I already talked to a sprint representing they said they won't give me one and I wonder if apple would,I really need one

    Apple does not give out sims - only wireless carriers do.
    Go to a different Sprint location and ask for a sim. If you
    have an active account, they have to give you a sim. If you
    do not have an active account, what do you want the sim for?

  • I have a iPhone 4S with a cracked screen and I believe it needs a SIM card. My question is how much would it be the cheapest way to repair it completely?

    I have a iPhone 4S with a cracked screen and I believe it needs a SIM card. My question is what would be the cheapest way to repair it completely?

    I would replace it out of warantee for the 200. but if you really need to save a few bucks
    iphone repair store (craked glass) - $150
    new sim card (if charged for one) - $20
    but getting another one for 200 (through insurance) will give you a year warantee
    no insurance, no $200 option

    Does it have a SIM card in it? You get the SIM card from your cellular carrier. Did you update the phone or restore it since it worked last? Where are you and what carrier are you on? Where did you get the phone?
    It sounds like the phone may be carrier locked and was previously hacked to work on a different carrier. If it was re-set, it would cause the phone to re-lock to the original carrier.

  • Why does ipad 2 need a sim card?

    If you want to use the 3G cellular data service - you need a sim card. If you just plan on using WiFi, then it doesn't matter.
    The 3G cellular service allows you to connect the iPad to the internet in areas where WiFi is not available. You do not have to install the sim card in order to use the iPad as long as you just use WiFi. You can always purchase the service later if you don't want it right now.

  • Want to reset factory settings but recovery drive is not recognized

    Want to reset factory settings but recovery drive is not recognized

    If you can't perform a system recovery from the hard drive, you will need to order recovery disks from HP for your laptop.
    Here is a link to HP's support page:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
    If you type in your laptop model number, it will bring up a list of drivers and such for your laptop. If HP has recovery media available for your laptop, there will be an option on that page to purchase it.
