I took out the SIM card before I sold a water damaged (non working) phone. Now the buyer wants the pass code to open it. Is there still personal stuff on this phone?

The sim card ONLY holds the information needed to connect to your cell company, so yes, there still could be sensitive information on your phone. It should have have had Find My iPhone turned off and the phone's data and settings wiped before you sold it. You really do need to give the new owner your pass code if he is to use the phone. After he's gotten in the phone, ask him to turn off Find My iPhone and then go to Settings > Reset > Erase All Data and Settings and then he should set up the phone on his own Apple ID.

I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card
I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card how do I know it has erased everything? i am going to be giving it away so I want to be sure this is done right. When I turn on my phone it now asks what language and so Im pretty sure I did it right. Any thoughts??
Then they're gone for good, if they're not in your backup.
This is why is is STRONGLY recommended to use your phone as Apple intends: synch your contacts with a contact manager program on your computer or with a cloud service, and import your photos taken by the iPhone to your computer as soon as possible. -
someone stole my friend's Iphone4s today, and I want to know if it can be traced if the person took out the SIM card and restored it. I also want to know if her service provider can block the phone from use if there is no SIM in there and it is restored. thanks.
It cannot be traced. The service provider can block registration of the phone if it is a US carrier based on the IMEI. If you have the serial number Apple can tell you the IMEI. However, many stolen phones are shipped to other countries, where IMEI blocking for phones from other countries may not be honored. And a sophistcated thief or fence can change the IMEI.
If your friend did not have a passcode lock on the phone they should immediately change all passwords for email, twitter, facebook, bank sites - essentially anywhere that they use a password. Even if the phone had a passcode lock it is safer to change the passwords. -
Some please help me. I tried to re start my iphone 4, but it went something wrong. instead of it turned black and tunred on again. it like a gray color. When i took out my card i can see the light inside it. what should i do turned it back on again..
At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs. -
This might be a stupid question but I'm quite concerned that my phone bill will be sky high because of it.
Hi mlemonache,
Here's a blip from the IOS Message support site:
On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.
Here is a link to the site:

Hope this helps!

I am new to the smart phone. I got a used one abut the person took out their SIM card. I put in my SIM card and it shows SIM failure. How do I get the SIM card out?
Look at the SIM card tray.
You will see a small hole.
Poke a SIM card removal tool or small paper clip into the hole until the tray pops out.
Remove the tray. -
My SIM card in my Galaxy Note 3 is not working. How do I fix it?
I was talking on the phone with my family and my phone cut out. I thought it was me losing signal. Nothing new. I looked at my phone and I had the "No SIM card" icon and pop-up on how to properly insert it. I took out said SIM card, placed it back in, turned it off and on, then repeated four times. I don't know whats wrong. Please help.
What happens when you get the new card it should have the info on it from what you give customer Service = your account info, If you get it from a Corporate store they get it from scanning the bar Code from the Sim holder and then they can add it onto your account..

I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck. -
i lost my iphone 4 last night and its not reachable assuming someone took out the sim.. so can i or my network company track the iphone which is not reachable through assuming location services and find my phone apps are enabled?
No. Find My Phone is the only way to locate any lost iPhone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be turned on/activated before the phone was lost, and the phone must have an Internet connection. If your phone is turned off, does not have an Internet connection, or has been restored, there is no way to locate it.

I changed out my old cell phone for a Motorola zoom and now the zoom has my old phone number associated with it's sim card. I just purchased a Samsung Android cell phone and would like to trade the sim from my new to cell to the zoom so I can have my old cell phone number back. The problem is the sim cards are different sizes. Is this something I can take to a store and get switched out?
SRCLARK,
Great question! You can go to the store and get a replacement SIM card at the store. Any corporate store will be more than happy to help replacing your card. http://bit.ly/3SdsA

Can i just take out my SIM card to erase my passcode?
i Have forgotten my passcode and I haven't synced my phone to a computer, so can I just take out my SIM card to erase it all and start from scratch?
Nope. You will need to restore the device from a computer. whether you've synced to one in the past or not is irrelevant.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Removing the sim card will simply stop the iPhone from getting cell service. nothing more.
