How do I open to put the SIM card on the iPhone 5
I just got the iphone5 and how to I insert the sim because it is asking to insert one
The manual doesn't do a very good job of explaining. The poor girl that asked the original question was the one who got treated rude. The "duh" is implied. The response is easily read, "Duh! Read the manual!" All the manual says is "Insert the end of a small paper clip or SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM card tray". It doesn't say "push straight in firmly until the tray containing the SIM card pops out". I (and I assume many others) was left to wonder how hard to push, if the clip should be used to pull it back out, if the clip should be moved one way or another and whether there was a door to open or if something was going to pop out. I think a simple, kind answer that explained "how" would have been much more helpful than simply stating the obvious, thus suggesting she wasn't smart enough to know what should be obvious. If you want to answer people in a way that makes them feel stupid, then you need to be able to take some constructive criticism.

I want to put my sim card from my iPhone 4 into my husbands iPhone 4s, which he is not using. We have both backed up our phones on to our own computers. I don't want his contacts left on the phone while I use it. How do I remove his info including music, photos etc from the iPhone 4s before I insert my own sim card.
You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device. -

I just received my new iPhone 5c and cannot open it to insert the SIM card. The instructions say to "slide the back off" the phone but I cannot get it to open. Please help?
Huh...? Where did you get it? And what instructions are you looking at? The instructions do NOT tell you to slide the back off. The back doesn't come off. The Sim slot is on the right side of the phone. You use the tool that came with it or a paper clip to eject the SIM tray and put your Nano-SIM in it.

I damaged my iPhone 4. I have ordered a new 4s. I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card. Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s? (Will I be able to put my 4 sim card in my 4s?
The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone. -

If I bought a no SIM iphone5c would I be able to take the SIM card out my iphone 5 and put it in the iPhone5c? I'm just wondering because it says it has no sim so I'm wondering if it does have SIM card slot?
Both iPhones use the same size SIM Cards. You will be able to simply transfer the iPhone 5 SIM Card to the iPhone 5C SIM Card Tray.

Put the sim card into your iphone from my mother's ipad to use the iPhone as a modem. Then did it the way it was before. After some time noticed that my wife on her iphone imessage does not come with a phone number, and from my email. While setting up my iphone to install the phone number of the SIM card ipad, you can not change the phone number of my sim card. At the same time, the phone settings - in the "Contact" - my number is registered correctly.
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. If your iPhone number appears in there, select it as your contact address, if it isn't in there, you will have to link the nimumber to messages.

My current Iphone 3 is not working properly. My wife just upgraded to an Iphone 4. I am planning on using her old 3 model. I want to save the contacts on my 3 to the sim card and then import the contacts to "new 3". I cannot figure out how to save contacts from phone to sim card. can that be done, if so how??
Contacts cannot be saved to the SIM card on an iPhone. Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the comptuer. That would be Outlook or Windows Address Book, Windows Contacts on the Windows computers and Address Book on a Mac. There are also web based solutions such as Yahoo or Google. Contacts would have to be saved there and then synced to the new phone.

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up. This afternoon the NO SIM message came up and I cannot fix it. What is my next step? I am traveling in Canada now and it is not convenient to come back to the States just to get a SIM card.
Thanks,
LouHi,
Thanks for getting back to me. How can I initiate Verizon sending me a new SIM card? I will be here long enough to receive it if they can send it to me.
I have been trying to call Verizon Wireless, but they won’t take my call from my Skype account and I don’t have my phone.
Thanks again,

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?
Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.
