How to activate iphone 5 using another sim?

i can't activate my iphone using diff. globe sim..i got this phone using a globe plan but iphone4 can be used using diff sim even if the contract is not yet finished

You need to have a sim in the phone to be able to activate it.  It does not need to be an active sim and can be an old one.  If the phone is locked to a carrier then you need to have a sim from that carrier to activate the phone

  • Can i activate iphone 5c using another iphone? please reply ASAP

    so i got an iphone 5c and im going on vacation and im going to activate it after i come back. so can i use the iphone 5 sim to activate this phone? please reply

    You were told you could use the other SIM, so long as it was one the carrier your phone is locked to, if locked, and it the phone is unlocked it wouldn't matter. You could use it as an iPod then, but it has to be activated and activation requires a SIM.
    If the phone you have is locked to a carrier other than the one your friend's SIM is from, then you cannot use their SIM. If the phone is unlocked, then you could use their SIM.

    The iPhone is most likely locked to the network of the company you purchased the iPhone for. You'll need to contact the mobile provider to unlock it. They are the only one's who can unlock it.

  • TS2846 How do i activate iphone 4s without a SIM card from a supported carrier?

    How do i activate iphone 4s without a SIM card from a supported carrier?

    Only the carrier your phone is locked to can authorize your phone's official unlocking. You'll have to contact them as to cost/procedure. Note: Most carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a current or former customer, using that phone, on their network.

  • My iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do???

    in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
    carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
    but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
    with the carrier this is called a sim lock
    the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
    the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years

  • Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier

    Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier ... here is what it says below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    So..  You need to contact the carrier for the iPhone's original sim card, and request they unlock it.  The carrier is the only one that can unlock the sim of the iPhone.

  • Hi i just ended my service with my service provider and was wondering if i have to do anything to use my iphone 3gs with another carrier. do i need to get it unblocked to be able to use another sim card

    I just ended service with my at&t and was wondering if i have to do anything like have my phone unblocked to use another sim card or use another provider

    Now the deal here is, iOS 6 is out now, so in order to complete the instructions and restore it with iTunes, you have to update to iOS 6. I decided to keep 5.1.1, so I did NOT restore the phone. I checked a couple IMEI checker sites, and they all said my IMEI was unlocked, so rather than use iTunes, I just replaced the AT&T SIM with an O2-UK SIM card I had when using my Android phone in England. I was pleased to see T-Mobile show up as my carrier when I turned the iPhone on, and in Settings, it shows O2 as the carrier instead of AT&T, due to the O2 SIM being installed. Then a moment later, I got texts saying what my remaining British £ balance is, since I had leftover money on the SIM from my last trip, and another text said "Welcome to America, have a nice trip!"
    The phone isn't jailbroken or anything like that. It's still on 5.1.1 with the proper, working Google mapping. Never restored via iTunes. Never updated to iOS 6. Any SIM card works. No tricks or hacks. You don't have to restore the phone to complete the unlock.
