If they take out the sim card from it and insert it in another iphone, will they have access to my information?

My iphone5 was stolen this weekend. I have a passcode and the find my iphone app has been activated. The phone hasn't been turned on yet. The police reccomends keeping the app on for a few days to see if they turn it on. I read that the sim card can be removed and the phone will be wiped. Although I would love to get my phone back, I am more concerned with my information being accessed. Is it possible to remove the sim card? If so, can they insert the sim card in another phone and access the information that way or is it safe as long as there is a passcode? Any information will help, thank you.

Since your phone was running iOS 7.0, the phone will be useless to anyone but you. Activation Lock will prevent the phone from being re-activated unless your Apple ID/Password is known.
Your phone is now useless, except as a paperweight.

    Under the answer you want to mark as correct you should see a box that says Correct with a green symbol to the left and a box with Helpful with an orange star to the left. Click on the one you want.
    And thanks for thinking about that, it is appreciated.

  • Can a thief take out the sim card and use phone like new?

    I recently left my phone in a public bathroom and when I went back it was gone. So I believe someone has taken it and has turned it off. I am using Find my iPhone but the person has not turned my phone on in 3 days. I'd like to know, what could he/she possibly be doing to my phone? Could she have already taken out the sim card and started using it like a new one? Is that possible? Everyone says that it becomes a useless brick after you go through the procedures of locking it and putting it on lost mode but there is a way around it right..otherwise, why would people steal them?

    If the iPhone has iOS 7, you set up Find My iPhone, and there's a screenlock passcode, then the iPhone is unusable to the thief or anyone he sells or gives the iPhone to.

    The thief could have restored the iPhone which would cause it to no longer appear in Find My iPhone in iCloud, but it won't be usable. People steal them because either the thief is ignorant about Activation Lock, or they depend on buyers looking for a deal will be ignorant, which if you look at the many posts here from people who've bought an iPhone from a stranger and encountered Activation Lock is proof that such ignorance still abounds.
    Regards.

  • HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time.  Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

    I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two.  This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G.  On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar.  I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

    Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone.  If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events.  Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

    I don't see no place on the side of the phone to put a clip to change the SIM card ....where is the place to open the SIM card?

  • My iPad 2 won't start, should I take out the SIM card?

    I am unable to start or restore my iPad 2.  Would removing the SIM card help?

    Not really.  The sim card simply allows for connection to a cellular network.  It should not affect how the iPad operates in any other way.
    Though there's no harm in removing it. Just pop the tray.

  • When recieving a call I cant unblock my phone and cant answer the call. Once this happens the only chance I have to make it work is to take out my sim card.

    Sometimes when I get an incoming call I cant answer and the touchscreen doesnt respond, the name of the caller just keeps appearing and ringing. When this happens I cant turn it off or do anything else but just taking out the sim card and rebooting. what to do??

    Your iPhone is probably locked to your former cell carrier. In such case only that carrier can unlock it, so you'll need to contact the carrier. Note that unless things have changed recently only 3 offers unlocking. If you used a different carrier, they do not appear to offer unlocking which means that your son will not be able to use your old iPhone. But call your carrier and ask.
    Regards.

  • Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

    Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Simple answer is YES.
    The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

    Ignore the other post (the one from Brendan), he has no idea what he is talking about.
    Read your manual (you have a bookmark to it in Safari on your iPhone or put iBooks on your iPhone and download the manual from the iBookStore) and it will show you how to remove the microSIM from your iPhone. AT&T is not tourist friendly and does not offer a pay as you go plan for visitors with an iPhone. If you are going to be here for a short time you can probably buy a pay as you go microSIM and use it before AT&T notices, if it is going to be for a long time that won't work.
    There is a 3rd party company that will sell you a microSIM that will work with AT&T but they are pretty pricey.
    Finally, you can get a pay as you go microSIM from T-Mobile to work with your iPhone but you will only have EDGE data speeds.
