How do i change the sim card in my 4s?
I am traveling abroad from the U.S. for an extended period of time and bought a SIM card with a provider in my new country. I don't want to make any errors in switching out the SIM cards so any tips would be much appreciated!
Turn off the phone.
Eject the Sim tray.
Remove existing MicroSIM from tray.
Place new MicroSIM in tray.
Re-insert SIM tray.
Turn on phone.
Note: If your phone is locked to AT&T, You can NOT use a foreign SIM card.
If your phone is from Verizon or Sprint, you need to have them unlock the GSM side for International roaming BEFORE you do this.

Use a paper clip and push it into that hole on the right side of the phone. The SIM container will pop out. Change the SIM and push it in.

Appreciate your support to solve this issue.Sorry to butt in again:
But your original post(s) were not so clear.
So if your original phone WAS locked and the LOCKED one got replaced from the APPLE store...then there is a 100% chance it IS locked.
Sorry, but there is no such thing as a free lunch...
Check with Apple anyways... -
I backed up my iphone 3 in preparation for moving to iphone 4S and before i changed the sim card I discovered my notes had been wiped! It looks like this is quite common but can anyone tell me where the notes I backed up on itunes would be???
In the iPhone backup. Right click on the phone in iTunes and choose "Restore from Backup".

how can i fix "the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported " after restoring a factory unlocked iphone 4
The term "factory unlocked" has no meaning. Your phone was not legitimately unlocked. Contact the carrier it is locked to and find out if you can get it unlocked.

How do I use the sim card If its blocked, not because it is brand new, has blocked its carrier when purchased, my uncle bought it from his old friend
Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it. Have
your uncle's friend contact his wireless provider to see if they offer unlocking
and if he qualifies. Many wireless providers require that the account be in good
standing and the iPhone be active on their network for an unlock to proceed. -
