Does the iphone 6 need a new SIM for Apple Pay?

There appears to be some disagreement on this issue. I activated my AT&T iphone 6 by putting my ip5 sim in the new phone. Everything works normally, but I got a text message from AT&T saying that my phone needed a new sim for all network features to work properly. Some people have been told by AT&T that this has to do with NFC/Apple Pay, that even though Apple Pay is built into the phone itself, it still needs some kind of special secure SIM to authenticate the phone or something. Does anyone have a definitive answer either way? It's not a big deal to just go to an AT&T store and get a new SIM before Apple Pay rolls out, but after experiencing a major activation headache on launch day, I'm reluctant to "fix what ain't broke", so to speak.

I've read nothing that indicates you'll need a new SIM for Apple Pay. However, it seems as if the easiest thing to do is to wait until it rolls out, and see if the SIM you have works. It's not as if being unable to use Apple Pay for a day or two should be a big problem.

    I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
    OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
    If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
    What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
    Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
    I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
    Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
    -Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
    -A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
    I hope this helps your sister.

  • Does anyone know if my G3S Iphone will sync Itunes on my MAC Power PC G4, OSI0.4.11?  If it will, what operting system does the Iphone need?

    My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
    I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
    I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
    I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

  • With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

    With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
    I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
    So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
    My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
    To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

    section2i:
    If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
    If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
    That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

    Does the IPhone 4s support NFC technology for Bluetooth pairing.

    NFC and bluetooth are not the same thing.

  • How do I easily change the default credit card in Passbook for Apple Pay?

    I just read online that the first credit card you enter into Passbook is automatically set as default for all Apple Pay transactions. The problem is that my preferred card was not entered first because the bank only just now made it available for Apple Pay. How do I sent this card to be the default for all Apple Pay transactions?

    I think there may be a bug in 8.1.2 where iOS only recognizes the first card entered as the default card. I added two cards, but the second card never showed  up under "Transaction Details | Default Card". I removed both cards then re-entered my preferred card first, and it appeared under Default Card, but the second card entered no longer appears under "Default Card"

  • Does the Iphone 4S's new modem only increase data speed for Att customers?

    I'm wondering if the new upgraded modem that is touted with the release with increase data speads across both GSM and CDMA networks.

    And only for GSM carriers who support HSPA+
    EVDO on Verizon phones is already operating at the limits of the capability of the technology, and the 4S does not support LTE, Verizon's (and AT&T's) next generation network.

  • Does the iPod need to go back to Apple or am I missing something?

    My friend has an iPod mini that she uses with her windows computer. It was working fine and then it wouldn't turn on. It wouldn't mount on the computer so I plugged it into the A/C adapter and it didn't charge. When I used the menu/select the Apple logo comes up then blinks off after a few seconds. I tried to put it into disk mode and that didn't work either. I even plugged it into my mac to no avale. Is their anything left to try before calling apple?
    Thanks

    See these.
    iPod won't turn on.
    iPod battery doesn't charge.
    Your Windows PC doesn't recognize the iPod is connected.
    iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
    After that, if nothing helps, it's probably time for service.

  • HT1665 Does the iPhone 4 S now come with Apple Earpods if I were to buy them from the Apple website?

    I was thinking of buying an iPhone 5 and then realised it is too expensive so now i am looking to buy an iPhone 4s but I am wondering if it will now come free with Apple earpods instead of normal earphones as I think the earpods do look better than eaephones and will hopefully fit in my ears better, so if u know if they do come with earpods then please answer, Thanks.

    No, they come with the same earphones they always had.  You can purchase the Earpods at the Apple Online Store.
