I bought my Iphone from USA.. ts not accepting any sim card in Kuwait because its locked??

Iphone is blocked and cant use other sim card???

If it's locked to a US carrier, you can't use it. None of the US carriers offer unlocking.

    Im guessing you mean the iPhone 4? anyway ...
    Because you brought the phone in America, It will be locked to either the AT&T network, or Verizon. These will ONLY work within the United States, and under no circumstance will they unlock the phone for international use. Unfortunatley, that means you are $500 out of pocket, and have an expensive paperweight to your name. The only way to get an iphone 4 in your country is wait for it to be released, and in the meantime, sell the one you have to someone in America.
    Hope this solves your issue

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

  • I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

    I bought an iPhone 5 but does not accept sim card.How to do?

    Exactly, what do you mean by "does not accept sim card"? Are you saying you purchased a carrier locked iPhone & you can't use a sim from a different carrier? If so, that's the way it works. Carrier locked iPhones can only be used/activated on the carrier's network the phone is locked to. Either return it for a refund or contact the carrier the phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking.

  • Please can someone help,i bought an iphone from the states,i put a sim in ,i could make phone call,but i couldnt surf ,it seems that something is wrong and when i click on wireless nozhing happen,

    please someone help i bought an iphone4 from the states, i put the sim card in, icould make a phone call,thats ok but i couldnt open the opera,and when i click on wireless on buttom nothings happen.

    Are you talking about an unlocked version?  If an iPhone is locked to AT&T in the U.S., anyting is fair game outside of AT&T's network. (You can always use WiFi, though.)

  • No matter what i do, my iphone will not recognize any sim card that is put into the phone, and i have tried 3 different networks

    Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

  • HT1267 i restored my iphone and itunes is not recognizing the sim card why?

    okay im having problems with my iphone, it was disabled and i went to itunes to restore the phone, now that it has itunes is not recognizing my sim card that was originally in the phone during the disablement and the restoring, so i have a phone that says no service but has a sim card in it. what do i do

    iPhones require a SIM card for activation.  The SIM does not need to be active, but it must be for the carrier the device is locked to.

    If you're installing it correctly (see http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/articl​e/43543_en.html#N10284), then I'd wager something is wrong with the phone and will need an exchange.

  • Iphone bought in USA will not take greek sim card, iphone bought in USA will not take greek sim card

    I bought an iPhone 5 in Boston, "unlocked" . The salespeople told me it simply needed to have a sim card inserted, in any country outside the USA.
    When I went to my local phone store in Greece, I was told this iPhone will not take a Greek sim card.
    Now I have this very expensive phone which I cannot use in the place where I live.
    What do I do now?

    thanks so much. you give me courage.
    I am certain that this phone is legitimately unlocked,
    unless I was handed a locked by mistake, but I really doubt that.
    I emphasized to them where I was taking the phone, small island in Aegean, far from apple stores and assistance, also emphasized my weak computer knowledge.
    So far, I have only gone to the one local electronics store which services the national phone company.
    There is also a Vodaphone outlet, where I will have an exploratory conversation, as soon as possible,
    I also have yet to make it to the somewhat vestigial office of the national phone company.
    Thanks for hope and a sense of direction.

  • Unlocked iphone 4 from India does not accept Tmobile SIM in the US

    Hello everyone
    I have an unlocked iphone 4 which I bought in India. Here's the situation, I first came to the US in August of 2012 with an unlocked iphone 4 which was working on an airtel SIM card. Once I obtained a T mobile SIM card, I placed it in my phone and it all went fine. I used a T mobile card with my phone till I departed the US in March of this year. In India I re-used my airtel SIM card. However, my phone screen had cracked and I got my old iphone4 replaced with a new one at an authorised service centre in Bangalore, India. Now, I am back in the US and when I tried my old T mobile SIM card, I get an invalid SIM message. I figured that my old T mobile card might have been deactivated since I have been out of the country for a long period. So I went over to the T mobile office and got  myself a new SIM. No luck with that either. Still an invalid SIM. My airtel SIM is still read if I use that here.
    What do I need to do to get my iphone to start working with my T mobile SIM again?
    Thanks for any help

    Almost all phones in India are sold unlocked. Carriers are almost never involved in the sale of phones. My original iPhone 4 came in a plain apple box with no association with any carrier. I then used my Airtel SIM card with it. I guess I will just have to buy a new phone and sell my  iPhone back in India. I was getting tired of its eccentricities anyway. Thanks for the help everyone.

  • Bought 'Unlocked' iPhone 4s and it won't recognize sim card. Any help?

    Had an iPhone 4 but screen broke so I sent it out for repair but it couldn't be fixed so ordered an unlocked white iphone 4s from a third party site called 'TradeAnythingUk'. I kept my sim card so I could put it in this phone it came through the post today and during setup it has told me this error message :
    'The sim card in this iPhone does not appear to be supported, Onlly compatible sims from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insrt the sim that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carriers store to receive a replacement sim card'
    I looked at a few forums and thought I'd try restoring the phone and re installing the software this hasn't changed anything
    Is this a pure case of the phone not actually being unlocked or is there any more to this problem
    I am with Orange network by the way and I am in the UK.

    Apparently you didn't get an iPhone that was officially unlocked, but rather one that either wasn't unlocked at all (and you were flat lied to) or that was hacked to unlock it. Restoring would have removed any such hack in most cases.
    Only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, and most carriers will not unless you have service with them. I'd suggest you go back to the unauthorized reseller from whom you purchased this iPhone for redress, since they didn't sell you what they apparently claimed. It's quite possible, though, that you may have to chalk this up as a learning experience, swallow the loss, and buy another iPhone from an authorized source.
    Just so you know, unless your old iPhone was in pieces or jailbroken, Apple would have replaced it for £119 if you had taken it to an Apple Store.
    Regards.

  • After unlock my iPhone 4 iOs 6.0.1  is not accepting any sim , i tried using new sim  first it shoes no service then sim failure and invalid sim . what should i do do make it work

    after inlocking  my iPhone 4    iOs 6.0.1  it shows no service when i used a new sim .

    If it is showing invalid SIM error, then the unlocking is not complete. Depending on what carrier authorized the unlock, most require the phone to be restored before the unlock is complete. Once you restore, you should receive a message stating Congratulations, your phnoe is unlocked. Then you restore the  backup of the device from before the unlock restore.
