HT201269 If I order new Iphone with a different # can I go to AT&T and get a sim card for another #?

I have a 4s IPhone and am switching to new Iphone 5.  We are on family plan and my son's Iphone is available for discount update.  I am not.  I am ordering a new Iphone 5 with my son's # for me as he does not care (plus I pay the bill!).  Can I go to an AT&T store and switch the sim back to my # without the new phone yet received???  Then insert correct sim to activate once new Iphone 5 arrives in mail to operate prior to delivery, or, do I need to physically take the Iphone 5 to AT&T store to be activated?  Thanks for any info! 

Suggest you contact AT&T to see what they are referring to as new service. Use Do
Not Disturb to prevent notifications.

    How can I get a sim card for Japan and will it work with my locked Iphone 6

    You cannot use a SIM card on a carrier locaked phone, other than a sim from the carrier the phone is locked to. You must first get the carrier it is locked to, to unlock your phone. Apple does not unlock phones.

    Where did you originally purchase your iPhone? How was your

  • How can I get a sim card for my iphone 5 that I bought on craigslist?

    Where can I find a sprint sim card for my iphone 5

    Did you actually purchase a Sprint iPhone?
    Sprint is a CDMA carrier and does not require a SIM for use in the US.
    If it is not a Sprint iPhone it will never work on their network.

  • IPhone 3GS - Can I use existing US t-mobile SIM and German O2 SIM cards (for phone calls) without buying a data plan?

    I currently use 2 phones to make calls: one t-mobile locked phone for the US and one O2 locked phone for Germany, both without data plan.
    Can I upgrade using just one phone (factory unlocked iPhone 3GS)  and continue to use the existing SIM cards for phone calls (just switching the SIM cards when necessary), but use free WIFI spots worldwide for internet access/data transfer?
    Thanks Michael

    No supported carrier, including T-Mobile in the U.S., permits the use of an iPhone without a data plan. Though it's technically possible to do it, if and when they find you, they will either charge you for a data plan or shut down your account.

  • Will Apple replace my iPhone 3GS out of warranty due to accidental liquid exposure and a broken sim card tray?

    Like many people, my iPhone 3GS was recently exposed to liquid and the phone immediately died. The sim card was not exposed to direct liquid and I was able to get it out; however, the sim card tray was siezed up and would not eject, so when removing the sim card, the tray broke. I have filed an out of warranty claim to get it replaced; however, upon reading some of their disclaimers, I noticed that Apple has a section where they won't replace a phone exposed to liquid damage.
    I have read various posts on these forums that say they will however. I am curious if I should send my phone off to get replaced...or if doing so would be a waste of money and time. There is a clause that says they can choose to not replace the phone and still bill you for time to examine the phone.
    Please help.

    Out of warranty replacements cover just that and also accidental damage if in warranty
    as long as iPhone isn't in many pieces
    In US the cost is $149 for a 3G /GS /4 and $199 for a 4S other countries similar in local currency

  • HT4528 I just ordered 2 new iPhones from Verizon.  Can I purchase Apple Care on them?

    I just ordered new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on these since I didn't get them directly from Apple?

    Yes. See the information here, particularly the "Important Notes":
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Since you haven't yet taken delivery of the iPhones I'm not sure how Apple will handle it.
    Regards.

  • Can you use an iphone in Haiti using a SIM card for airtime?

    Can you use a SIM card for airtime minutes in an iphone in Haiti?

    You will need the SIM card that was used when the iPhone was activated in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed.
    If you have an activated SIM card with the same carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, you can use that SIM card with a restore.

  • HT2309 I need info on how to use a SIM card from another country to have service on iPhone 4 & 5 while traveling

    I need to know any problems I might have getting a SIM card in another country and swapping it w current card in my iPhones (4 and 5).
    Need both phone and internet access while there. My carrier has no service (verizon)
    Also assume all apps and data on phones will still work?

    The GSM section of your Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked and will work with any nano-SIM card. 
    Not all iPhone features such as FaceTime, iMessage, visual voicemail, etc, may work if using a carrier that doesn't support iPhones.  If using an unofficial carrier, you may need to enter APN settings to get cell data. LTE may not be compatable.
