I phone 5 problem with SIM

i bought a iphone 5 should have been unlocked to accept any sim in any country. the Cyprus sim i put in allowed me to open it after inserting my pass key and it shows a signal. then it comes up with this message and wont let me go any further.. "only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate the iphone. pleaee insert the SIM card that came with you your iphone or visit a store to receive i replacemrnt SIM card". the phone didn't come with a SIM so what would the problem be? it seems like it may be still locked to a service provider......

Try taking the sim card out and re-inserting it and seeing if this helps or try and get hold of another sim card.
If any of these don't work then your only other option is to take the phone back to where you purchased it and check if it is truly unlocked or not.
Noone here can help you with that unless you go back to the place where you bought the phone in the first place.

Sounds like your iPhone is locked to AT&T. Contact them to see
if you qualify for unlocking.

Problem with sim-free

dear Sir/Madam,
I have recently bought iPhone 4s in the shop "Handy" in the Republic of Bulgary, in the city Burgas, in the "Burgs Plaza" complex. I have bought this phone for full sum, and it is modified by "M-Tel" company. This phone was bought without any contract and SIM-card.
I have tried to contact to "M-Tel" and asked them for a help, but there was no result. "Handy" also could not unlock my phone, because the operator is "M-Tel".
да, там очепятка
When I bought this mobile, the costumer said that there would not be any problems with changing operator.
I am in Russia at this moment and I want to get Russian operator.
The IMEI of mobile is 013006007871306
I will be very grateful to you if you help me with my problem.
Yours sinserely, Ilya Zhmyhov

Only the operator to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it - nobody else (including Apple). M-Tel do offer iPhone unlocking. You will have to contact them again. http://www.mtel.bg/
If you were sold the phone as "unlocked / SIM-free" but actually were given a "locked" handset, you will need to return it to the retailer you purchased from.

Problem with SIM

Hello!
I have inserted a SIM Into my tablet Z. (mobile broadband) It finds the card and the operator (Telia), but when I disable Wifi and enable mobile data there is no Internet connection. Is there some setting I must do in the tablet, or is it more likely something wrong with the SIM?
Greetings!

I also have this problem with my Xperia Z tablet 321. My network operator (Ovivo) appears in settings>mobile Network Settings>network operators but in Xperia>internet settings>Select operator, it does not
I chose the network that carries Ovivo (Vodaphone, I believe) and the Xperia downloaded the internet and MMS settings. I restarted the tablet but Firefox and Chrome both continue to say I am not connected or am Offline.
I'm not convinced this is a settings problem as the tablet shows 3-4 bars mobile signal - it may be due to the network operator?

Blackberry 8220 Flip phone - problems with downloads

I came across two problems with the downloads and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problems??
#1 - I downloaded "facebook" to my handheld, and after the download was complete, my phone was shut down and when it came back on again, facebook did not recognize my email/password. I registered using my blackberry email and password and that is what I used to try to login into facebook. I eventually deleted facebook from my downloads, because I really didn't know what to do ... so I thought I'd try here.
#2 - After deleting facebook, I thought I'd download Yahoo! Messenger, as I'm familiar with that. Only thing is, after the download, I could not find the icon to get into Yahoo! Messenger anywhere. It was not in my downloads folder, nor could I find it anywhere else?? I found it was added to my "normal" profile on the phone, but was at a loss as to where to find the shortcut?
I have not read all the forums (my bad - I'm a newbie, but I did look around!), and it appears that no one had discussed these download problems (yet). My apologies if they have been discussed earlier - has there been a solution for these?

I have a iPhone 4S 16 gb and I am having problem with sim activation please tell me what to do

I have a iPhone 4S and I am having problem with its.activation plz tell me. The solution of this problem?

Did you already try these steps?
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

Help please...iphone5 when trying to make a call, after hitting green button to make call, screen goes straight back to keypad and all incoming calls go straight to voicemail, any ideas please? Everything else seems ok. No problem with sim or carrier

Hi...I have just obtained a secondhand iphone 5. I'm not technically minded and I don't understand 'geek speak' so please be gentle. I have done all I can think of to bottom this problem. I have switched on and off. Tried different o2 sims (including 2 brand new) that I know are fine, restored to factory settings, changed carrier from 'Auto' to O2 and spent ages on line with o2 chat but everything at their end is absolutely fine. Everything on the phone seems to be working apart from the phone aspect of things. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail and show on the phone as 'Cancelled calls' and when dialling out, I can key in the numbers and get the keypad tone (not dialling tone) but as soon as I press the green key to make the call, all that happens is the keypad pops back up onto the screen. The phone was bought on ebay as an o2 phone (the photo showed Giffgaff on the phone's screen but I understand this to be one and the same?) and as being 6 months old but I have put the serial number into the support website and...surprise surprise..,it must be at least twice that age as the warranty has expired. I have made 2 attempts to have a web chat with Apple Support, have reached the 'You're all set, we'll be with you in 2 mins' and have been left hanging there for over an hour on each occasion, so I've given that up as a bad job!! Any help will be much appreciated...and also, will Apple charge me £25 for each of the aborted chat attempts, please? Over to you...hopefully and many thanks in anticipation.

My phone works all fine when am in mumbai but as soon s i leave mumbai I am not able to make an otgoing call
This is entirely a carrier issue. If your carrier (airtel) doesn't provide service outside of Mumbia, this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
i feel i need to change my brand

Upgrading Iphone problem with sim care problem

Hello,
I bought my iphone in the U.S. from at&t. Now I am traveling in france. Yesterday I tried to upgrade the iphone to the new ios 6 version and in the end the phone asked me to insert the compatible sim card that came with the phone. I have been using a gevey iphone unlock card with my french sim card so i have never tried to jailbreak my iphone. So I tried to jailbreak the phone so my foreign sim card can activate it, but it just did not work out. Now I am trying to have my original at&t sim card sent to me. I want to know if it will still work to insert my old at&t card to activate my iphone after failing to jailbreak the phone. In addition, because I am traveling abroad, I suspended my at&t service for now, will that affect its ability to activate the phone?
I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a response to my length problem. Thank you so much.

and it's a iphone 4

do you have another sim card you can try in the phone or another phone you can try the sim in ? If so you can find where the fault lies and either replace the sim or have the phone repaired ? If you have no contacts or sim messages on the sim it may be faulty !

Problems with Sim Card

I bought an IPhone4 from an apple store in london and have been using it for a month now with no problems. I`m on holiday now in Malaysia and cant seem to get connected. It keeps saying No Sim and says the same on the settings function. It shouldnt be locked, as bought from an apple store. what can be the problem then? any help would be deeply appreciated.

Many other SIM cards/operators? Presumably this is an unlocked LTE playbook.
If not provided with the playbook under a contract, is the SIM card suitable for use in a Playbook?
The "cannot resolve" problem can be browsr cache needing to be ceared but often means you are not getting to a good DNS server, and maybe not even a good internet connection.

Problem with Sim Card?

Hello, earlier today my phone had a message saying Sim Card not present, or something similar to it. Later that day, I looked again at my phone and it told me to connect my phone to itunes and restore it because it wasn't able to get service. I did so, and now I keep getting error 1002 after it does the recovery process. Is there an easy solution to this problem?
edit
Also, I should mention.. yes my Sim Card is still in my phone. I can take it out and hold it in my hand.

Have you removed and replaced it? That has cured some problems reported in past days.
