HT201401 iPhone SIM card removal

I can't get the SIM card cmpartment to open on my iPhone. Is there some kind of trick to this???
HELP!!!
THank you!

you should be able to just put a pin or straigtened out paperclip int othe hole on the side of the phoner and push - the sim card jolder should pop out a bit and you can then remove it with your fingers (or in my case my teth)
if that doesnt work there maybe something wrong and you should take the phone to an Apple store if there is one nearby or call Apple iPhone support

No sim card removal tool with iphone 6?

I called Apple Support and told them about it- they rep said that we don't get a sim card removal pin with the 6, but all the unboxing videos had the pins in them. Is this true, though?

So You don't get this with your iPhone box? Because I got this with my iPhone 4 box. Maybe they've changed it since then. Either case a paper clip solved my problem Thanks!

Sim Card Removal? Huh?

I am reading several posts that state people have been removing their iPhone sim card.
I was under the impression this was not possible...
Anyone?

But, can you use your previous sim card instead of activating your new sim card? The activation may be just to make just to switch sim cards and activate the new one. Maybe if you open the box and switch sim cards it may work.

HT1688 SIM card removal tool

The iPhone 5 I preordered through Apple (AT&T subscription) did not come with a SIM Card Removal tool. I was unsure of whether or not it was supposed to due to everywhere else saying it should have come with one.
As a little further information, I also bought the iPhone 4 (this one directly from the store) and it didn't come with one either. Is this because I'm with AT&T or just happenstance?

I read in the iPhone user guide that some do come with it and some don't. My AT&T iPhone 5 didn't. My friend's Verizon iPhone 5 did. I assume the reasoning for this is as follows:
Apple assumes (usually correctly) that you will use the AT&T SIM card they provide you in your iPhone most of the time. Therefore, you don't need to have a tool to remove it. In fact, without your SIM, you couldn't use your phone.
However, CDMA carriers (Verizon, Sprint, and the current US prepaid iPhone carriers) do not need SIM cards to work. The only time you'd need a SIM card in one of those models is if you were roaming overseas on an international roaming plan. In that case, you'd need a SIM removal tool to get your SIM in when you travel, and back out when you get home.
I could be wrong, but that seems like the most logical conclusion. Like Ken said above, paper clips work. I keep one in my wallet just in case.

No sim card removal tool?

I got my IP 4 this afternoon and so far, I think it's a great improvement over the previous 3G S. Absolutely no trouble with phone, wifi or 3G.
I realize the phone doesn't use a standard sim card. However, wondering why there was no sim card removal tool like the one that came with the 3G and the 3G S. I suppose a paper clip will do the job if push came to shove.

Just checked my box to make sure, no removal tool. I had one in the way you described in my 3G S box but not this with the iPhone 4.
I had not even noticed until i read this post, never used one in previous years. If it's in, it works... why a need to remove it? Not a big deal to me.
What's maybe interesting is that the people that DO have it are mostly from the UK.. i know this shouldn't make any difference at all, coincidence ?

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

Can I use my iPhone SIM card in another phone?

While I save up to get my iphone repaired, can I use my iPhone sim card in my Motorolla Rockr (my prior phone) or do I need to buy a new one? ATT said the sim in my Rockr is permanently disabled...
I would just try it but I'm at work and don't have my iphone here. I want to pickup a sim card on my way home if I can't...

You can use the sim card from the iPhone in any AT&T phone.

What is stored, in addition to contacts, on the iPhone sim card?

Other than Contacts, what is stored on the iphone sim card?

The iPhone can store contacts to the SIM Card, but this is not supported by Apple, but the iPhone can actually write to the SIM Card. The iPhone can read contacts from the SIM Card, so if any contacts are present, it can read them perfectly.
The SIM Card stores your personal phone number and has the User specific Carrier ICCID number among other possible proprietary information.

Can I use my old ATT/iphone sim card in a new iphone?

So, I want to get a new iPhone and put my first AT&T/iPhone sim card, the card that came in my first iPhone into.....will this work? normal activation thru iTunes? and tips, tricks, suggestions, etc.
thanks in advance,
Eric

You have to activate the iPhone because you have to active your iPhone account. This isn't just another phone that you can switch SIM cards between and it work.
I don't know what "back door" you're talking about but I hope that you would know by now the iPhone is not another regular cell phone. But it most certainly does work with any AT&T SIM.

Sim card removed message comes automatically when ...

Hello,
Purchased x2-02 mobile 1 week before. The problem is the sim1 will automatically stop getting detected and users calling me will get switched off announcement.
I have noticed a weird problem. When the mobile is placed near fm radio I face this problem.
Sometimes I also get a message which says sim card removed.
Can someone suggest me a solution apart from keeping the mobile away from fm radio.
I have a spice bamboo, galaxy grand also placed just next to this mobile. There is no issue observed in those phones.
Is there a possibility in nokia for replacement with other model?
Experts please suggest, I am a newbie.

This is a bizarre situation, bdiscuillo77. No worries though, I'm confident that I can help. Does the message that you're referring to a mention your SD or SIM card? Your phone does come equipped with a SD card, but not a SIM card. Are you saying that all of data on the SD card was erased? Try connecting your phone to your PC to see if you canview your files. Please provide me with a few more details.

Sim Card Removal While IPhone Is On

im sure this has probably been asked before but I wanted to ask. Is it safe to remove a SIM card from an iPhone while it's on? The reason I ask is because my wife took my new iPhone 6 to the AT&T store and the had to swap out the SIM card. I asked her if they powered the phone off when they did it and she said she didn't think so. Not positve they did, but just wondering if it's safe. My coworker had done this and I've seen it done in several YouTube videos. Anyone know?

It is possible to overthink these things.

I have an iphone that I just deactivated (SIM card removed) - I still want to sync with iTunes but keep getting error message that there is no SIM card installed?

I have an iphone 3GS that I have inactivated as of today. I still wish to sync this phone with iTunes (did a restore as I transferred my data to a new iPhone). However, iTunes is giving me an error message that there is no SIM card installed in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. I've powered off the phone, held the power button & home button until iTunes popped up with restore note. Re-did the restore (twice) but still coming up with same error message.

Kind of what I figured.....will I be able to sync to iTunes in future as many times as I want without the SIM card (once it's activated again)?

IPhone sim card 3G

I don't know if this has ever been mentioned before, but I noticed when I removed the sim card it said 3G. You don't suppose that has anything to do with 3G internet capabilities do you? Just thought I'd throw it out there for discussion.

FYI - this has been mentioned here a significant number of times since 6/29 but means nothing in regards to the current iPhone having hidden 3G capabilities. It does not. You can't turn a non-3G phone into a 3G phone with a firmware or software update. This requires new hardware with a 3G radio and for Apple in the U.S. will probably require another FCC approval which is public information. AFAIK, Apple has not applied to the FCC for 3G iPhone approval.
FYI - I wasn't saying the iphone has hidden 3G capabilities. I was simply asking if that was what the 3G was for on the sim. I found it odd that the sim would have the 3G logo for a phone that doesn't utilize the capabilities.
I also know that you can't add the ability simply by software changes. I'm sorry I even bothered.

IPhone SIM Card Switch with Daughter

So, I have the original 4gig iPhone. I'm eligible to upgrade to the new 3Gs. My daughter just has your typical Razr, but wants an iphone. What I'd like to do is pass my current iphone down to her and get myself the new 3Gs. But, I don't want to have the data package on her iphone - Wi-Fi is all she needs for data.
I called AT&T to see if I had to keep a data plan on her phone and was told yes. The customer service rep went into an explanation about it being Apple and not AT&T, because it was part of their contract that every iphone must have a data plan. Then, I told him that I'm not going to ad a data plan for my daughter regardless, and asked "off the record" if the iphone would work just by taking the SIM card out of her motorola and placing it in the iphone. He didn't tell me no, but didn't tell me yes.
So, I'm looking for someone to confirm that this will or will not work before I make any moves.
Thanks in advance!

Here's a link how to remove the SIM card from the iPhone:

I'm not looking to run any Razr applications on the iPhone. Do Razrs even have apps?
I'm not even looking to transfer any data (I assume you mean contacts, etc.). I just want to know if I take the card out of the Razr and put it in the iPhone, will she be able to make calls, send text (we have an unlimited text family plan), and connect to the web via wi-fi?

Sim Card Removal/Warranty

If I remove the SIM card will that void my warranty? Cause I don't want to bring the iPhone everywhere and I still have a perfectly working Treo.

No. Removing the SIM card is acceptable, and will not void the warranty.
