I changed my sim card and i can't unlocked the iphone (the password reamains the same)
I changed my Sim card and after insert it into the old iPhone (5) I can't unlocked it anymore. I'm using the same 4 number password.
What is the exact error you're getting? Are you sure it's not asking you to unlock the SIM?

Talk to the carrier it is locked to. They are the only ones that can unlock it.
Best of luck. -
HT3965 i had changed my sim card and trying to activate my iPhone but can't activate it
i had changed my sim card and trying to activate my iPhone but can't activate it. its giving me error like your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailble....
temporarily means try later
and
check your Internet connection
get to know if your iPhone has a netlock (no use with another provider) or even a simlock (no use with another SIM) -
The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today instead of my old phone (not an iphone). I have not seen any such steps. Help?
I suspect the salesperson that told you that meant your online account with your carrier...have you tried logging into your carrier account online? To do this will require the sim number on your sim card, as well as the phone's IMEI number...you get the sim number off the sim card & the IMEI number, for the phone, is printed on the box.

That's correct, without a supported SIM card you can't set up the phone.
If your carrier supports unlocking, you can use any SIM after your phone has been unlocked by the provider:
iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
iPhone: About unlocking
Follow the instructions in this article to unlock your iPhone for use with different carriers.
Follow these instructions to initiate the unlocking process for your iPhone:
Check if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
Contact your carrier and request an unlock.You may need to meet certain requirements to qualify for unlocking. After your carrier submits the unlocking request, it may take up to seven days.
Once you receive confirmation from your carrier that your iPhone unlock has been processed, proceed to the next section.
If you have a SIM card from a carrier that is different from your current carrier, and you've received confirmation from your current carrier that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
Eject your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
Complete the setup process.
If you do not currently have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
Back up your iPhone.
Erase your iPhone.
Complete the setup assistant and restore your backup.
Additional Information
If you experience issues or receive the following error message displayed in iTunes or on your device, follow the steps below:"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.

Restore your iPhone.
Contact your carrier to verify that the unlock was applied in your carrier's system. -

I changed my sim card and contact names are gone in messages app.
When I changed my sim card to a Spanish one in messages app's contact names are gone. My contacts are in iphone not in sim card i can see them in contacts but the problem is number are showing in messages not the names.
The SIM is not involved. The iPhone does not save contacts to the SIM. Most likely when you restored the phone as a step in unlocking the phone you did not restore your most recent backup.

Hi,
if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
thanks
Andyhi there,
you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
regards, Chris -
I recently fried my iphone3gs from accidental water submersion . Is it possible to retrieve any photos from the some card and transfer to my new iphone5
It depends on what kind of sim card and carrier you have, but the most likely answer is no. Contacts, maybe, but pictures are very unlikely. Sorry.

Do I have to have an unlock code to change my SIM card and use my iPad in France
My iPad 2 has an Orange SIM card which is quite expensive to use roaming, during a trip to France at Easter with our camper found it very difficult to find a good WiFi connection (couldn't find anything usable to Skype). I understand that we could now get a Pay as you go SIM from 3 that can be used in Europe, can anyone tell me whether I need an unlock code to swap this over?
Thank youDepends on whether you bought your iPad from Orange on a contract with the SIM already in there or whether you bought the iPad unlocked directly from Apple and then bought a SIM from Orange separately.
If you got it unlocked from Apple then you can put any SIM in there. If you didn't and are still under contract to Orange then I doubt they would allow you to put a Three SIM in there (i.e. unlock it). -
I changed my sim card and now my contact names are gone in iMessage?
So i just unlocked my iPhone and switched the sim card from ATT to another carrier (optus) and wanted to change numbers just because this is a temporary switch.
Now when i go to messages my contacts all appear as phone numbers instead of their names. I still have them in my phone if i go look at the contact/address book but they don't appear in messages.
I want to switch it to names not numbers.
(I still have the original sim and have it backed up to my computer if that helps)The SIM is not involved. The iPhone does not save contacts to the SIM. Most likely when you restored the phone as a step in unlocking the phone you did not restore your most recent backup.

Hi there, I would like to know how to unlock Optus iPhone 5. I got an iPhone 5 from Optus new phone is only 2 months old and the phone is on 24 months contact . Now I tried to unlock but I can't unlock if I can unlock my phone so I can use in oversee next week. Can you please help me and tell me what to do to unlock to use other SIM card that's is not Optus only. Thanks
Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Why do you think they would do so before you complete the terms of your contract? I don't know specifically what their policy is, but most carriers won't do so unless they are legally required to.
If you didn't want to use Optus, why did you sign a contract with them? -
I need to use my iPhone for Facetime, without the phone having cellular service. How can I do so?
Is the phone activated? If so you can activate facetime and use it with wifi. If the phone is not activated you need to activate it using a SIM (the sime doe snot need to be an active sim) and hten turn on facetime in settings/facetime

I have a toshiba lap top computer with vista and I can not get my new iphone to connect all the way .... it says "connected with limited activity". which means I don't get on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi all,
Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
Hope to get assistance here. Thanks
