HT4993 i took my sim card out now it wont turn on what can i do i didnt get the apple care

i took my sim card out my sprint iphone 5 now it wont turn back on

You iPhone 5 has a full 1 year Warranty with Apple, whether you have AppleCare or not. To turn iPhone ON, connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, iPhone may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. This can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account?

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account? Should I activate it via WiFi or iTunes? I am filtering on the MAC no and I cannot read that number from the new iPhone without having it activated??!!
All I want do is to have the new phone activated and then tested!

Yes, you can do that.

So I need a new iPhone 3G SIM card to activate my iPhone. I hear you can get one free at Apple Retail Stores. Is this true? If not, can someone please tell me how I can get one? I need it for 3G not 3Gs. Please? I'm desperate..

Apple does not provide SIM cards, carriers do.
Go to your carrier and get a SIM card. Whether it is free or not is up to them.

I was told I can set up my phone service through iTunes, but I can't seem to figure out where to go at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what can in do?

Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up.

Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

No. iPhone 4S uses microsim, iPhone 5 uses nanosim.

Can you take SIM cards out of American iPhones and insert prepaid simcards? I'm in Australia

Can you take SIM cards out of American iphone4 to insert prepaid SIM cards? I did not realize there was a difference between American and Australian iPhones.

"How can I tell if it is officially unlocked? "'
Did you buy it from Apple as unlocked?
" I'm guessing I also have to disassemble the phone to get to the SIM card inside?"
No.
You really should read the manual. Just eject the card.

Can't get Sim Card out of new iPhone 6; Can't activate phone...

I'm unable to activate my new iPhone 6 because I can't remove the Sim Card despite several minutes of trying. First major fail… Can anyone offer some additional tips. It didn't come with a pin for this purpose. I'm using a paper clip.

You can visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and ask them to do that for you. Your device is still under warranty and they'll be happy to help you.

Can i use someone else's sim card to activate my iphone 5c and then take it out?

I ordered an iphone 5c through eBay and i had been told before (by an iPhone 5c user) that i could use it as an iPod. But the iPhone does not come with a SIM card and i was told that the guy before did not transfer his account. If i use someone else's sim card, can i activate my iPhone using itunes and then give it back? if not, what can i do to activate it that does not require for me to buy an active SIM card? It's a sprint phone

You will not be able to use a SIM to activate a Sprint Phone. The Sprint phones are CDMA devices and would have to be activated through Sprint. Your best bet if you would not want to use Sprint as a carrier, and do not have any intention to use the device as a phone to return it for a refund. You would have to have a Sprint contract to activate this phone.

No SIM card, tried to upgrade to iOS 8, now I can't use device at all

I decided not to use AT&T any longer a while back and got rid of the SIM card. I did not know I needed it! Now I have used iTunes to upgrade to iOS 8 and it won't let me use it. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!

Hey Username000,
Thanks for the question. When using an iPhone without a wireless service plan, you will need to insert a SIM card from a new activated phone before restoring or updating it:

please give me suggeston

Only the carrier to which the phone has been originally locked to can unlock the phone. If unlocking is no option for this carrier, the phone can't be unlocked.
