SMS ≠ iMessage
iMessage is a data-based messaging system meaning you use bytes on 3G/4G/LTE or Wifi intstead of SMS to send messages to friends.

You had a jailbreak and unlock.
When you updated you cooked it.
Your phone is done.
Time for a new one.

Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

what can in do?

Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

Iphone does not appear in itunes. _ALL_ recommended steps were taken to no avail

I'm using windows 7 pro 64-bit, itunes 10.3.1. I have an iphone 3gs running ios v. 4.3.3. All software and drivers are up-to-date on my computer.
When I open itunes and plug in my iphone, itunes hangs for roughly two solid minutes. After which, my iphone does not appear in itunes. The same thing happens if I reverse the order and plug in my iphone before opening itunes.
I have read and followed all and I mean all the instructions in multiple articles on the apple support site to try and resolve the issue, and nothing has fixed the problem. My impression is that this is a bug in the latest itunes release since the problem started after updating to the latest version of itunes and did not occur previously. Nothing else changed with either my computer or my iphone since then. In all other ways, my computer, all USB devices connected to it, and all other software installed on it function perfectly.
Here are the things I have done that DO NOT RESOLVE MY PROBLEM:
- restart apple mobile device service and verify it is configured correctly
- restart ipod service and verify it is configured correctly
- restart my computer
- reset my iphone
- verify that my USB drivers are up-to-date and all USB ports are functioning correctly
- verify that my iphone DOES correctly appear in windows explorer and the device manager
- verify that my security software (norton 360) is updated to the latest version
For the record I am not running any third-party phone software.
Here is the only thing I have found that works, however, it works ONLY for the first time I open itunes afterwards. After syncing ONE TIME, the next time I open itunes, the problem comes back exactly like before.
- completely uninstall, and then reinstall all apple software in precise accordance with instructions given on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
I honestly don't expect anyone to have a solution to this issue, but I will be thrilled if there is one. I am posting primarily to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, and hopefully to gain the attention of a developer who can hopefully institute a fix.

Sounds like a ruined iTunes install iTunes require a number of services running if an overzealosch firewall or rights settings or "optimisme" program stopped any of those what you exp happens

Im trying to activate my iphone and it fails saying "the SIM card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported". i rang apple they said its vodaphone rang vodaphone they said its apple... someone please help!!!!!!

my iphone 4s was continually searching for a newtwork my carrier informed me my iphone needed a service or exchange. i drove 2hrs and paid $239 to exchange my iphone. i then went to activate it and i recieve a message saying activation failed. the SIM card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported. contact apple for support. i rang apple and they informed me its my sim or the carrier. i rang the carrier and they said its apple. i have also tried activating the phone by using another carriers sim and the same carriers sim from another persons working phone. still get the same message.

Dude,
Apple didn't lock the phone, and you'll be waiting until kingdom come of you think that Apple will unlock it.
Only the carrier to which a phone is locked can authorize the unlocking.

O2 - The sim card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported

I just sold my iPhone recently to a guy who has now gone out to Libya for a while, the phone worked fine on iOS 4 with Three, and was offically unlocked by O2 and worked on O2 and Vodafone before selling it, however now he has gone out to Libya the phone is not activating and iTunes is just saying...
"The sim card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported."
What does this mean, he has tried the SIM card in another iPhone and it works fine but it won't work in my old one.
What can be done, I am unsure why iTunes won't activate what is clearly an unlocked iPhone.

The likely answer is that no one knows. Or everyone is too busy talking about the latest press release from Apple.
As long as it was unlocked by a carrier and not by jailbreaking it should work on any GSM network. So the problem is most likely with the SIM your buyer is trying to use. It's either defective or it doesn't have a plan that is compatible with the iPhone.

"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." On an unlocked replacement iPhone 5.

I live in the UK and recently got my US model (A1428) iPhone 5 repaired at a UK Apple store. They replaced it with the exact same model.
The original phone was factory unlocked and I was assuming that the replacement phone would also be. Having done some tests it seems like it is unlocked (e.g. it has 5/5 dots reception and 3G) but I cannot get past the activation stage [iTunes doesn't do the job either]. The following message keeps showing up:
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.
I am planning on bringing it back for help. In the meantime I am able to (using itunes) enter recovery mode, do a restore, update the iOS, etc. but I doubt that would help so I am currently avoiding it.
Any guidance is appreciated.

The message you received indicates that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one for which you have a SIM. You'll need to take the issue up with Apple. Nothing you do with iTunes is going to make a difference.
I'm quite surprised that the UK Apple Store replaced a U.S. purchased phone. They usually won't.
Best of luck.

HT1414 Hi, I did all thoses steps but after restoring I have this message:"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." Could you help me Pleasse!? Thanks

Please help me with my iphone 3G, I backed it up and restored it(step by step) but after restoring I have this message:"
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
". My phone worked properly before with my sim card

99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

"the SIM card inserted in the iPhone does not appear to be support" help?

Just doing this for my sister since she's has not been able to do so. From what she said, after she tried to update her iPhone 3G with the latest update, it came up with a message saying "the SIM card inserted in the iPhone does not appear to be supported." She also said that she tried to go through her phone but something came up where there was the itunes logo and the USB cord pointing toward it. We have tried going to the AT&T and Apple store but they just keep insisting that she purchases the new iphone. Because of that I am sure that they could fix our problem but they just want to sell the latest toy. Now, I've been searching through google and it keeps telling me to download some programs that will jailbreak it but I don't really trust downloading things off of the internet (unless I know they're safe). So, is there any way I can fix this problem? - Thanks

You seem to have a carrier-locked iPhone. Only the operator can help you unlock it. You need to contact them for instructions.

HT4061 "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." problem

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4S that I bought and used in the US from ATT carrier. After I moved to India, I had requested ATT for the unlock which is approved. But the following message is displayed while trying to restore the same iPhone in India using another SIM card:
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently 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.
Can anyone suggest what should be done to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Sri.

THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTED.....

Hello. I bought on Dec. 17th 2007 at Orange shop in Beausoleil (south France) an iPhone with the option of unlocking the Sim (100 Euro plus). I followed all instructions. Everything was perfect, on Dec. 24th I was able to unlock the iPhone and used with Orange sim, MonacoTelecom sim and Vodafone sim. BUT the iPhone had a problem: when in sleep mode it did't received calls. So Afer 24 hours I stopped to use, UNSAFE. After Christmas holidays I called Apple assistance, they send me UPS and I returned iPhone to Apple (Jan. 4th 2008). I received a NEW iPhone on Jan. 8th 2008, VERY RUSH. Perfect service, I thought (...making terrible error...). The iPhone was LOCKED and I wasn't able to use. Now starts all the problems and for this reason I'm writing.
I called Apple and Orange many times. Orange didn't received the documents from Apple for the changing of IMEI and Serial, for them I had the first iPhone. After many cals finally I asked Apple to send something official for the changing.
....Days goes on and on.......
Every day two times I called Orange, but evert time I received different versions of my situation. Everyday I tried to restore the iPhone but still simlocked.
On Jan.15th after a meeting with a lawyer I decided to make pression to Apple: infact I returned them an unlocked iPhone and I received back a locked one.
I finally was able to speak with a "supervisor" (Mr. F...) and he tried to solve the problem.
On Jan. 16th I spoke with another "supervisor" (Mr. J...) and he told me to make another time the restore, because they changed the firmware.
From now I tried to make the restore many times with Orange sim. Everything seems to go well but when I put another sim on iTunes there is a white page with:
"THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTED. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please etc etc....".
So the iphone is locked!!! Maybe is country locked, I don't know.
Incredible, unbelievable.
From Apple they told me to wait someting from US, but until now ..... nothing, I received no news from Apple.
The bad situation is that after more than 30 days after the buy I am not able to use the hardware I bought!
I hope that someone from Apple can read this post (sorry if is so long, but with this details I think that in Apple can understand the problem).
I send in warranty an hardware with certain features that I payed to Apple and I received back it with different features.
That's not serious.
After many days, next week I think to go by legal means if Apple France is'nt able to solve the issue.
Many thanks if someone from Apple read my post.
Many thanks if someone help me.

But who has to make another unlock? Orange told me that for them is ok and the phone is unlocked. I read on other pages that Apple has a world-database with Imei numbers. So seems Apple can also do the unlock, even for the fact that they returned me a locked phone, different from the one I sent them. The warranty is with Apple, I forgot to warite in my first post that first of all on Janauary I went to Orange shop where I bought the iPhone but they told me for every problem is Apple that has to solve.

The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.

It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone.
