I bought iphone in texas and brought it back to pakistan,now my sim card is not supported by my carrier back in texas.what should i do now?
HELLO,ANY ONE FROM PAKISTAN?
You purchased this iPhone where or from whom in Texas?
The SIM card not supported message indicates the iPhone you purchased is carrier locked with a U.S. carrier. Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone.

I just updated my Iphone 3GS from 4.3.3 to 6.1. Now is says that my SIM Card is not supported by my carrier. I called Rogers and he says to restore my phone. But I can't get there is it won't recognize my phone. Help!
Insert a SIM from a supported carrier.
Where did the phone come from, it sounds like the device has been hacked or jailbroken to be unlocked and updating has re locked to the original carrier. It is also possible that the SIM simply needs to be reseated or replaced. -
i updated my iphone 3gs today and as it finished rebooting it said the sim card was not supported, and im my phone it still says connect to itunes, how do i fix this
If your iphone has been unofficially unlokced then it will indeed be locked when updated. Is this the case?

Hey! When I unboxed my iPhone 6 plus and signed in with iCloud ,there wasn't any FaceTime app or option to set up in the settings,what should I do?
If the iPhone originated in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, it'll never have FaceTime.
If the iPhone originated in a different Middle East country and was unlocked or taken outside of it, it may have lost FaceTime.
If neither of these is applicable, check the device's restrictions.

After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone. What action can I take to convince phone that the SIM card is OK?
Hello again, update time.
Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
Cheers, Tom. -

You cannot backup photos to iCloud.
You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage. -
My phone will not turn off, has not done so for ages, Today I tried to upgrade which failed . Now my screen shows only the itunes symbol and a usb lead. When I connect to itunes it informs me the sim card is not supported though it works on other phones. HELP
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -

I cant even get into my phone or access itunes or anything! i have restored my phone by pressing down the two buttons etc etc. PLEASE HELP ME!
what should i do? Thankyou. -BrozzaBrozza,
Let me know if you have any luck with this. I was told that there is a hardware malfunction (that coincidentally occurred during the upgrade) and that I need to purchase a new phone. I have been without a phone since the upgrade has been released. I wish I would had known this was an issue before trying to upgrade. -

I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 and now the sim card is not recognized
What can I do now?
Most likely your phone was locked to a single carrier and was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it to work with other carriers. Updating or restoring the phone locks it to the original carrier. As the iPhone license and warrenty specifically forbid hacking the iPhone there is no solution available in an Apple-hosted forum.

I bought my iPhone 4 in Canada and have been using it here for the past 7 months. In september I will be moving to the UK and am wondering if I get a UK sim card will I be able to use it as my cell phone over there?
Hi: I don't believe that Telus provides unlocking for the iPhone. Other phones, yes, iPhone no.
