How do you fix the iphone 4s when it says put in original sim card

how do i fix an iphone 4s i got given by my uncle, it says when i put in a brand new sim card unlocked to telestra ' put in original sim card' when im activating the phone what do i do?

You're post is unclear, but taking a quess at what you mean - if your phone is carrier locked to another carrier than Telstra, it won't activate until you get it unlocked by the carrier it's locked to.
FYI, the phone, not the SIM card is what needs to be unlocked.

  • How do you fix the iPhone Speaker? PLEASE HELP

    Okay, soo i was asleep with headphones in, i woke up and my headphones were still in listening to music, then i unplugged then and my slide to unlock noise and text noise,music,etc stopped working but when i plug my headphones in, the noises all worked.
    Then i tried the...
    -Q-tip cleaping method
    -unplugging and replugging headphone method
    -ungplugging and replugging method
    -Force rebooting(holding sleep and power)
    -System Restore
    ...and no noise is coming out still, only noise that i can hear is when someone calls me, i can hear them and talk back, but when i put it on speaker,i cant hear them.
    Should i take it apart and unplug and replug the headphone jack, and speakers,etc?? IDK whats wrong with it

    I had this same problem until this morning. my speaker wasnt working so i tried inserting and rmoving the headphone jack about 50 times, then i sprayed air into the socket and it didnt work so eventually i bought a bluetooth protable speaker so i could listen to music in the shower and i tried it out for the first time this morning, then as i left my house double tapped the home screen and my volume bar was there, and it works fine now, i reccomend you try connecting and disconnecting from a bluetooth device or go to a shop and try out a bluetooth speaker and it might just fix your phone

  • How do you fix the 2 to 3 second voice delay when answering iphone 5 this is with multiple carriers and its unaceptable on a phone that cost almost 700 dollars it did not happen on my cheap prepay samsung

    how do you fix the 2 to 3 second delay on hearing somones voice when answering the iphone 5 this happens on lots of  iphone 5s with differant carriers so its not one carriers problem its probably apples this is unacceptable on such an expensive phone and very irratating. my last cheap samsung t mobile 50 dollar pre pay never did this,im new in my  contract an will take the phone back if i have to put up with this for 2 years.other than that huge problem i love the phone. i dont understand why this did not get covered like the maps problem,cause its a lot of phones and its probably an ios problem.

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

    Hi Nicole,
    Try resetting it (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). The Home screen should redisplay after the reset is complete.

  • HT5554 I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.

    I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.

    Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
    If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier.

  • How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar.

    How do you sync the iPhone, iPad and MacBook calendar in one calendar?

    Iphone 5 seems unable to sync calendars with ITunes! The genius bar set mine to sync via Icloud, but it only worked once (?). 
    Finally I fixed it like this.
    First, I merged the multiple calendars from ICal thanks to http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_merge_ical_calendars and I called it “only.”
    Second, I unchecked the gmail calendar (seems iCloud had a problem with it): On the Iphone, open the calendar, go to the bottom of the page, click on calendars and uncheck the gmail calendar. Click Done.
    Third, every time I want to sync, I go to the Iphone  Settings, iCloud, and uncheck calendars. I respond “keep on my Iphone”. Then, check calendars on again, click merge, and.… voila!
