If I reset my phone will I unlock my SIM card?

Please I really need help! If I reset/erase my phone will I be able to unlock my SIM card?

Do you mean unlock from a cellular carrier ( to use iPhone with another carrier
OR
Your sim is locked by a sim card lock for which you have forgotten the code

  • If i reset the iphone 3 will it erase my sim card?

    .

    The iPhone writes no data to the SIM card, so resetting the phone will not affect the SIM card at all.

  • If i reset my phone will my update still be on it?

    Yes, a reset, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, does not affect data.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only the content of your phone will be erased. Your Apple ID won't be modified and you will keep your data on your Apple ID, so don't worry

    It really depends what you mean with reset.
    Factory Restore?
    Updating your iOS?
    Restarting your iPhone?
    Factory Restore:
    If you back your files, no.
    Updating your iOS?
    Backup, and everything is stored.
    Restarting your iPhone?
    Let me ask you a question, you restart your PC, did you lose any of your files?

  • HT1766 i want to reset my phone will everything be deleted even though its backed up

    i want to reset my phone will everythig be deleted (pics,messages,apps)

    A reset (pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears) will not affect data in any way.
    A restore (as new) puts the device into a clean, out of the box state.
    A restore (from backup) restores the device to the exact condition when the backup was created on the most current version of iOS for that device.

  • If I reset my phone will everything be deleted like my pictures and my contacts

    If I reset my phone will everything be deleted like my pictures and contacts

    An iPhone reset is similar to a computer restart, and the answer is no with a reset.
    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completed erased first including iOS. After iOS is reinstalled, you are prompted to restore from an available backup for your iPhone. If you are backing your iPhone up locally on your computer with iTunes, iTunes updates the iPhone's backup as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    Regardless if there is an iPhone backup available, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air including a free Apple iCloud account. You don't have to worry about your contacts being included with your iPhone's backup when doing so.
    Photos and videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera epecially immediately before restoring the iPhone with iTunes and before installing an iOS update.

    Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Reinstall the app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
    Delete the app.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.
    If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using  your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
    Download past purchases

  • I damaged my iPhone 4.  I have ordered a new 4s.  I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card.  Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s?

    I damaged my iPhone 4.  I have ordered a new 4s.  I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card.  Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s?  (Will I be able to put my 4 sim card in my 4s?

    The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
    When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone.

    Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

  • What steps do I need to take once Verizon unlocks my sim card for international use on another carrier

    Hi, I am traveling to Romania in a few days. I called Verizon Global Support and had them unlocked my sim card for the 4s.
    They told me there was some steps I had to take after they unlocked it and I will find these steps on the Apple website.
    Well I cant find what they are talking about and my search on the internet is not giving what I want.
    I see things about Sprint 4s and that u must connect your phone to Itunes to complete the unlock process is this the same for verizon ?
    The Verizon Rep told me I will be able to use a Internation Sim but I had to connect my phone to a computer after replacing the International sim and go threw a whole process of Restoring and resetting my phone threw Itunes. Is there true ?  I dont not have a internation sim with me is there any other way to see if its unlock and how the process is ? Do i need to set my phone to only run on GSM when I get there or will the International sim automatically switch the band ?
    I know its alot of question all at once but i just want to get to the point.
    Thanks any help will be appericated

    This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

  • HT1430 SIM NOT VALID!! i wanted to update my iPhone to the latest version. i made it all the way up until you have to set up your phone. it says "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone." thats all it would let me

    what do i do when it will not take my SIM card anymore and i can not downgrade my phone? i already got a new SIM card but it still says its not compatible! what can i do?

    This means that your phone was hacked to be unlocked. Updating it restored the phone to Apple specs and re-locked to the original carrier.
    You will need to find out who the original carrier is and see if you qualify for unlocking.

  • If I buy an IPhone 6 in USA and then want to use it here will it work? Obviously I will buy an australia SIM card... Any tips?

    A Family friend lives in new york and wants to buy me and iphone 6 as a present, if he does willl i be able to use it here (obviously I will buy and Australian sim card)?
    thanks

    In other words, we don't know.  At present, Apple does not sell unlocked iPhones 6 and 6plus.  Some say that T-Mobile will unlock it, but why take a chance?  You will have no warranty in Australia...the phone must be returned to the US for service.  You also don't know for sure if it will work in Australia.  Get the Apple store gift card.

  • Network unlock vs sim card unlock?

    Would there be a Network unlock code outside of the sim card unlock code or are they one in the same?

    Hey There
    I would be happy to share the differences of a Network unlock and a SIM card unlock. 
    A Network unlock is more commonly known as a Carrier Unlock.  If your phone is unlocked from a carrier, it will work on another wireless carrier's network, request an unlock code online at att.com/deviceunlock.
    A SIM Card unlock provides additional security beyond a screen lock, you can require a PIN code to prevent your SIM from being used in any device without entering the PIN code. If your PIN code is entered incorrectly more than three times, your device will request a PUK code (PIN Unlock Key) in order to unlock the SIM card.
    Thanks!
