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.

    Get a working SIM from your carrier?
    Was your phone jailbroken or hacked to unlock it?

    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...

    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.

  • TS1559 I believe it my have something to do with my modem firmware , I have a iphone 4 and no problems but i changed the sim card in my 4s and the firmware seems to be an older version could that be a problem

    I have a 4-s and a 4 I changed the sim card in my 4-s and now my wifi is not working, grayed out in fact, I also noticed that the modem frimware was an older version now on the 4-s than the 4, HELP

    The modem firmware has nothing to do with the SIM card or WiFi.  Was your 4S EVER jailbroken?,  See this reguarding grayed out WiFi setting:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

  • How do I use the sim card If its blocked, not because it is brand new, has blocked its carrier when purchased

    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.

    an UNLOCKED ( only from Apple ) iPhone 5 will work on 3G but unlikely it will support 4G in your country
