If you have and the error is still occurring the a hardware issue most likely exists.

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

  • BlackBerry phone to be used in a country with a different SIM card

    Hello Everyone
    I have got a BB phone which was purchased through o2 retailer (english mobile operator) in the United Kingdom as I lived there for a long time. I am back in Italy where I hoped to continue and use it by simply inserting an italian SIM card. I tested few SIM cards of friends and went to an italian retailer (Vodafone which is also known in UK) but apparently my BB doesn't recognize the new SIMs becuase it is probably clocked by o2... Does anyone know whether it can be fixed somehow? Or do I have to go back to o2? Or what are the possibilities.
    Thank you all very much for your help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    There's nothing to add to your BB per se. Using the BB-specific services is a matter of your carrier providing those to you. And there are some things that must happen for them to do so.
    Any BB can be used on any carrier that runs the same radio frequencies that the BB is capable of (and I've no idea if your's are such). But, to bring a BB onto a carrier network that they did not sell to you, there are several hurdles to cross:
    1) The carrier must say "yes" to the fact...they own their network and have every right to say what devices will be allowed to connect to it. If they say "no", then that's the end of it.
    2) You must be sure that your BB is properly unlocked from it's originally manufactured-for carrier...see this helpful thread for details:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/General-BlackBerry-Functions-and/Unlocking-your-BlackBerry-Gu...
    3) You must get all of your voice level services functioning on the carrier, before you even try anything about data
    4) You must subscribe, from the carrier, to an adequate data plan to enable the BB-proprietary services you desire
    5a) If the carrier directly supports your specific model BB, then you can proceed with registering the BB onto their network, generating the proper Service Book delivery to your BB, and proceeding to function.
    5b) But, if the carrier does not directly support your specific model number of BB, then the challenges are much greater as most carrier systems will not deliver, to the BB, the necessary service books to enable the BB-proprietary data services, even if you do subscribe to them.
    So, depending on all of that, your BB may or may not ever fully function on that carrier network. It can be quite tricky to accomplish, especially if 5b applies. So take a look at all of that and decide how you wish to proceed. Most folks wind up just buying a new BB if 5b applies.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I have buy 4s it's unlocked and its working with different carriers in Bahrain but in Pakistan I try to use different carriers's sims but its showing sim is not valid , not compatible? any one please help me out this

    I have buy 4s it's unlocked and its working ok with different carriers in Bahrain, but in Pakistan I try to use different carriers's sims but its showing sim is not valid , not compatible? any one please help me out this?

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
    Regards.

    Yep, but you won't have any warranty or support for this phone in India, nor will you have FaceTime. FaceTime has been permanently removed from all iPhones purchased from official sources in Saudi Arabia.

  • I have an iPhone 4 (CDMA) that is unlocked, can I use this in Europe with a European SIM card?

    I have an iPhone 4 (CDMA) that is unlocked, can I use this in Europe with a European SIM card?

    An iPhone 4 CDMA is CDMA only. It doesn't have any GSM circuitry and doesn't have a SIM slot. You can only use it on the network it was originally sold for.

  • If i buy a sim-free iphone 5s in America, can i use it in China with a Chinese sim card?

    i've bought a sim-free iphone 5s  in apple store in America but i am worried that i cannot use it with a Chinese sim card. Can someone help me?
    Thank you very much!

    The iPhone is sold as "unlocked and contract-free" when purchasing that option from the Apple Store, though Apple's verbiage is using "unlocked" and "SIM-free" rather interchangeably:
    The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T or T-Mobile in the United States. The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA-based carriers, including Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
    If you don’t want a multiyear service contract, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. If you choose T-Mobile, your iPhone comes with a T-Mobile SIM card already installed. You will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
    Otherwise, the unlocked iPhone does not come with a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s, or a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s so you’ll need to get one from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using your iPhone, simply insert the SIM card into the slot and turn on iPhone by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.
    Purchasing an unlocked iPhone means you will not qualify for the lower iPhone price associated with a contract. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM). The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
    To help decide whether the locked or unlocked option is right for you, compare wireless service plans. Or call our iPhone Specialists at 1-800-MY-APPLE.
    Be aware that if you purchase an iPhone in the US, that will be the only place you will get support from Apple should you need it. You will not get any support for a US-sold iPhone in China.
    Regards.

  • If I buy an iPad in the US, can I use it with a European carrier's sim card as well?

    If I buy an iPad in the US, can I use it with a European carrier's sim card as well?

    Yes, if you get an iPad 2 AT&T model or a new iPad. Be aware that the new iPad may not use the same frequency for LTE that is used is parts of Europe.

  • HT4759 My iPad was lost. I am using the Find my iPhone app, but it is not showing there (though the iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online.  You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
