I have problems with my used iphone.

Hello there. I recently purchased a used iphone from a friend. However he took the sim card out as he needed it for his other phone.
I have tried inserting my new at&t sim card, as well as a new blank one but when i want to activate the phone itunes keeps saying "there is a problem with your iphone". What can i do in this situation? Thanks.

Yes, you should go back to AT&T and let them know the SIM card is for an iphone. Only iphone SIM cards will work in the iphone. AT&T sells SIM cards that will work in many different phones, but only the SIM card designed for the iphone will work in it correctly.

  • Problems with "new" used iPhone

    hey guys,
    i have a problem with my new iphone. i bought an iphone on ebay and now i want to use ist with my t-mobile-sim-card, but it doesn't work. First it worked, but i found out, that the iPhone was jailbreaked, so I updated it to firmware 3.1.3 to delete this jailbreak. but it doesn't work now with my simcard (it's not a prepaid) and itunes says, that the card isn't compatible. maybe someone can help me... it makes me very angry. i spend so much time to get the money for the iphone and now this ****...

    When you installed the new 3.1.3 firmware you locked the phone back with att. Previously being jailbroken and unlocked allows you to use other sim cards but now that you updated the firmware its not possible. What you can do is wait for someone to come out with a way to jailbreak the new firmware and unlock it yourself.

    Close any open applications.
    Click the Apple icon top left of the screen.
    Select the bottom option in the cascading menu: Log Out (your user name).
    Log in a Guest.
    This will dertermine if there is a problem with your Admin account.

  • Audio problems with earpods using iPhone 5

    I've noticed that when I use Apple's earpods on the iPhone 5 the audio goes in and out. It's hard to describe. It sounds like the audio of the words drop off at the end like the volume dramatically reduced. It happens for every word or every other word. It makes it hard to understand what people are saying on the phone. It doesn't seem the people I'm calling are having any problems understanding me so I think the problem is only on my side.
    This problem never happen on the iPhone 4 so I think it's a unique problem only found on the iPhone 5. My theory is that it has something to do with the iPhone 5's noise cancelling feature since the audio seems to go up and down in volume. I've noticed the problem doesn't happen when I make calls on the iPhone without the earpods.
    Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Is there any way to turn off the noise cancellation?

    The iPhone warranty has never been International.
    Take the iPhone back to the country of origin or mail it to someone you know there and have them take it in for service.

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

    hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
    thank you.

    OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee.  You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
    A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

  • Why my iPhone 5s's wifi have problem with wifi on iOS 8.0.2?

    MMy iPhone 5s and also my iPhone 6 plus and iPad 3, all have the latest update(8.0.2) but all of me have problem with wifi and gilt hung all the time! Wifi most of the time is not working and we have to use laptop or using phone data, obviously I don't want to use my data in home so , I want this problem solve as soon as possible. My iPad is glitching all the time, my iPhone's most the time.
    aand please don't tell me it's my wifi modem because I know it's not, I have been tested my modem with all other devices!

    Ok.  Have you tried restarting your phone?  Hold sleep wake button until slide to power off appears - slide to power off.  Turn it back on and retest.
    -Next is Settings, general, reset, reset network settings - retest.
    -Next is back up phone to iTunes, and restore to factory settings - set up as new, retest.
    If you have had your phone for less than 90 days, you get 90 days of complementary voice support at applecare, so you should definitely use that while you have it.

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.
