  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Copied from the link provided.
    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for  first time

    How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for  first time?Should i connect to itunes?Or should I put the sim first and then ON the device?Pls help me

    Yes.
    Insert the SIM card and power the iPhone on to find out. Nothing bad can happen if you can't and if you can't for some reason, connect the iPhone to iTunes.

  • How can i activate find my iphone

    Hi, good morning now i facing a problem about how to activate ( find my iphone ) apps ?

    To activate Find my iPhone, the device has to turned on AND in your possession. You can't do it after the device has already been stolen or turned off.
    That would be like locking your front door after theives have already entered your home.

  • How so I get my replacement iPhone 4s to be able to call and texts after I have restored it?

    Alright, so I was having problems with my iphone and verizon sent me a replacement. I followed all the instructions and restored the replacement iPhone, but I can't get it to call or text anyone. As you can see in the image I have included, it doesn't say 3G like it should. Can someone tell me what I should do?

    To expand on what Meg said, it would not say 3G in the status bar since you are connected to Wi-Fi. While you restored the backup, like Meg said, you still need to activate the device.

  • Can't activate applecare-replaced iphone 4 with previously working SIM

    Hi,
    I had an iphone 4, purchased from apple online store, not locked to a carrier. It worked perfectly with a local carrier's SIM (Manx Telecom) for nearly 12 months, then developed a hardware fault and applecare replaced it no hassle. The SIM stayed with me.
    The replacement iphone doesn't like the Manx Telecom SIM - it's an "unsupported card" or "unsupported carrier". Manx Telecom sell unlocked iPhone 4s from their own retail store, and the SIM was obtained from them. Applecare support think the replacement iphone is unlocked, and I've done an OS restore (it asked for a WEP key when I restored it, I think it's iOS5) but still itunes and the iphone say that the SIM is unsupported.
    I've escalated this to applecare, and they tell me that the replacement iPhone *is* unlocked. I don't know how carrier locking works, and I don't suspect the SIM, although I'll get that checked later today.
    I'm worried that this will drag on, and being from a small country with an insignificant number of people, this might get dropped into a black hole of "we've never had one of these before, it's not really a problem"
    Any ideas? All gratefully received. Reports of positive experiences would be welcome, as woudl ideas on next steps if I don't get any joy from the current incident.
    Thanks for reading right to the end!
    Pat

    Applecare just fixed it. It hadn't been connected to wifi or itunes between last call and now, and they got it to accept the SIM, presumably over GSM. I am chuffed.

  • How can you activate find my iphone if you dont have the device you need to find

    I wasnt aware that i had to activate find my iphone and Apple themselves are being useless in helping. Is there anyway i can activate it without having the device as i have obviously lost it. or is there anyway of displaying a message even though it isnt registerted?

    No and no.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    Unfortunately, the only place that you can activate "Find my phone" is from the device itself.

  • Can I activate my replacement iPhone (UK) in Spain?

    Last week, my iPhone 5 was stolen in Spain (my fault; who leaves their phone on the table in the middle of a crowded Starbucks?) and I have had news this morning from my insurers that they've accepted my claim for a replacement. Said replacement will be sent to my parents in the UK and they will then have it sent to me, in Spain.
    My question is this: who needs to "activate" the iPhone? My parents already have the replacement SIM from Orange. If they send everything directly to me, will I be able to activate it myself with iTunes? Or do I need to ask that they activate it on the UK network for me before sending it? I've tried to find the answer online, but there's a lot of conflicting information. Some say that it's possible, others say otherwise...
    I'm not sure if the replacement handset will be unlocked or not. I assume it may be.
    Any information appreciated!
    Thank you.

    when your phone is stolen in spain that time it works with same orange?
    if yes than this new one is also works..
