I HAVE A PREPAID PHONE. WHEN I TRAVEL TO MALAYSIA I MUST BRING THIS PHONE WITH ME. CAN I BUY SIMS CARD AND USE IT? I AM TOLD THAT I CAN DO SO.
I HAVE A PREPAID PHONE AS I GO. WHEN I TRAVEL TO MALAYSIA, I AM GOING TO BRING THIS PHONE WITH ME. CAN I BUY SIMS CARD OVER THERE AND ASK THE SELLER TO PUT IN MINUTES FOR ME? WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION?
That sounds like a great trip urgent! Ann154 asked a great question. Please share which prepaid device you have. 3G Prepaid Phone in a Box (PIB) is restricted for use with prepaid service for 6 consecutive months after activation, and is locked to the VZW network for 12 months after activation.
• After 6 consecutive months, the restriction to prepaid service is automatically removed.
• After 12 months, customers can dial *611 from their VZW prepaid phones or 888-294-6804, to receive the programming code to unlock their phones.
• Non-PIB prepaid devices are not locked, but may require a program code to use with another carrier - typically "000000" or "123456." Sim lock does not apply to any VZW 4G LTE device with global roaming capabilities. These devices are able to be used with a third party local sim card without any additional steps to unlock the device. Thank you.

I have a at&t cell phone with a 3g at&t sim card can I use it in my at&t 3g Iphone?????

The answer is no -
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.

Can a thief take out the sim card and use phone like new?
I recently left my phone in a public bathroom and when I went back it was gone. So I believe someone has taken it and has turned it off. I am using Find my iPhone but the person has not turned my phone on in 3 days. I'd like to know, what could he/she possibly be doing to my phone? Could she have already taken out the sim card and started using it like a new one? Is that possible? Everyone says that it becomes a useless brick after you go through the procedures of locking it and putting it on lost mode but there is a way around it right..otherwise, why would people steal them?
If the iPhone has iOS 7, you set up Find My iPhone, and there's a screenlock passcode, then the iPhone is unusable to the thief or anyone he sells or gives the iPhone to.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
The thief could have restored the iPhone which would cause it to no longer appear in Find My iPhone in iCloud, but it won't be usable. People steal them because either the thief is ignorant about Activation Lock, or they depend on buyers looking for a deal will be ignorant, which if you look at the many posts here from people who've bought an iPhone from a stranger and encountered Activation Lock is proof that such ignorance still abounds.
Regards.

IPad has a feature or insert the SIM card and use it as normal phone?
I tried to insert the SIM card into the drip tray iPad but was too small. iPad has a feature that is inserted into the SIM card and the normal operation of the phone?
The only way to use an iPad as a phone is via one of the Voice-Over-IP services such as Skype.
As to your SIM issue, the iPad requires a micro-SIM, and you apparently tried to use a standard SIM. But such SIMs get you access to data services only; as pjl123 said, the iPad has no phone capability built in.

Is the wifi card a build in in ipod/ipad? yet build in on SIM card in iphone?
But on WiFi, could I still use Skype to make a phone call? I have a camera adapter for the iPhone 4 and would just use it as a camera and to play music after I upgrade to a later versionof iPhone. Am I correct in assuming that I could still do everything except connect through 3G?

If I have blocked lost phone with company, can person still see data on the phone?
I have blocked my stolen IPHONE 4s by phoning my service operator. Phone has no lock so can thief still see text messages/pictures etc if blocked? I have tried wiping it through find my iphone but cannot do it with no internet connection to phone?

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 have iphone4s in Shanghai, China, but I cannot use it to make a phone outside Shanghai. I have already changeded my SIM card and upgraded the iOS to 5.1 vision. Now can I slove it?
It's not clear what you mean. Do you mean you can't place a call to anyone outside of Shangai? That would be an issue with the calling plan you have with your carrier. Contact them. Likewise, if you can not place a call when you are outside your coverage area, that is also a carrier issue. If you are trying to use a different carrier while travelling, it's possible your phone is carrier locked and you can not use the carrier you are trying to use.

I just got an apple at&t iphone 4 and I have it unlocked. But I want to connect it to t-mobile, so I trimmed my sim card and once the phone was unlocked I inserted the sim and it says no sim, activation error. What can I do to fix this? What is wrong?

As you addressed me that is exactly what I said

I have a Samsung SIII and will be traveling out of the country. Do I need to get a micro SIM card instaslled for international ? I was told Verizon has them free for customers but that it needs to be "sert up". Also, are there alternatives to going through the verizon data plan (which is very expensive.
ThanksYour phone already has a micro SIM card in the device so it can connect to the VZW network. You will need an international plan from VZW if you intend to use that SIM card. Otherwise you can get a new SIM card from the local carrier and setup the phone for global use with a separate APN with that carrier's specific information.

Regarding passport registration issues, I need to have a letter from you including both the old and new imei numbers. Could you please send me an email mentioning that I have changed the phones with the given imei numbers?
You're not addressing Apple here. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. If you want to contact Apple, use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page for information on how to do so.
Best of luck. -

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.
