Inserting Koodo sim into Telus iPhone 6

Hello,
I purchased a Telus iPhone 6 recently and thinking that because Koodo uses the same towers and is an offshoot of Telus, I didn`t think I needed to unlock the phone.
In any case, in order to test this out I bought a non-activated Koodo sim card and inserted it into the Telus iPhone. I received this message: ``No SIM card installed. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone.``
Now am I getting this message because the nano sim that I put in as a test isn`t activated or the message appeared because it`s not unlocked. And if so, a Koodo sim should work on a Telus phone regardless.
I have no problem unlocking the phone, I just don`t want to pay to do so if that`s not the problem.
Thank you for your help.

Despite the fact the Koodoo is indeed a branch of Telus, you will still need to have the phone unlocked by Telus to use it on the Koodoo network.

  • Insert ATT sim card in Iphone 5 = automatically connects to cellular service?

    Hi folks,
    I just bought an unlocked Iphone 5 a few weeks ago. I'm using it perfectly except I don't have a nano sim inserted. I have AT&T. I had a Samsung before buying the Iphone 5 and I blocked the internet access through cellular service on the Samsung. I was wondering if I buy a nano sim (using my old number) and insert it in my Iphone 5, would it automatically register me to a data plan? Would it automatically connects to the internet through cellular service even though I've never signed up for it? Yes I only want to use the Wifi on my Iphone. I do not want to pay extra money for the data plan. Keep in mind that my Iphone is unlocked already. I heard my friends saying that if you use an ATT sim on an Iphone, it will force you to use internet through the cellular service. Is that true?
    Thank you for reading my question.

    That is true, AT&T does not allow the use of smartphones without a data plan on their network. Unlocking has nothing to do with this and I'm wondering why someone would pay that much money for a phone they are not going to use.

    I Have a contract on o2 for my iPhone 5c, is it possible to buy an iPhone 6 or 6 plus and swap my contract sim into the 6 or 6 plus?

  • I have an iphone 4s can i put that sim into the iphone 5

    You will need a nano sim for the iPhone 5, your 4S sim is too big.

  • Can I put a giff gaff sim into my iphone 4 when doing the unlock?

    It says in my email to use a sim from a iphone/ipad supplier.
    Could I just put the giff gaff sim in for the unlock process?

    I just need to know if I can use the giff gaff sim in this process as they
    Do not supply iPhones or iPads.
    Normally it's recommended to use a SIM from a supported carrier, but a GiffGaff SIM may work. They have some information here:

  • Putting Local SIM into unlocked iPhone 4S

    Hi Guys
    My friend is going over to Turkey for a few weeks and would like to use a local sim card for making calls/data.
    His 4S is unlocked and was wondering if its just as simple as swapping sim cards over and it works?
    He was told he would have to connect his iPhone to iTunes and re-register it?
    Thanks.

    Hobbs's link doesn't apply to your question, so you can ignore it.
    If the phone is officially unlocked, you can swap sims to your heart's content, no connection to iTunes required. Simply power the phone off, swap sims, then power the phone back on.
    Here's a list of supported iPhone carriers. If your friend uses a sim from a supported carrier, there shouldn't be any issues:

  • HT201415 when iI insert the sim go another iphone it works ok but not on my iphone

    i r  e m s c a c d

    Is your iPhone locked to a wireless provider other than the one
    you are attempting to use it with?
    Where did you purchase this iPhone? How was it unlocked?
    What wireless carrier are you trying to use it with?

  • Putting a temporary sim into your IPhone

    Hi, I am travelling shortly and plan to use a local sim whilst i'm away. The Apple store confirmed my email will automatically come through one I put the sim card in?
    I take it, I will need to switch the data roaming to "on"?
    Once I have completed my trip and switched back to my UK, should evereything switch back seemlessly?
    Many Thanks

    roaming mean that you surf on your normal sim in other places
    changing back does nothing in terms of the general settings of the device

  • New Iphone 4 factory unlocked: "No SIM" "Insert Valid SIM with no pin lock"

    Hi, I'm new in the forum.
    I've just bought a new factory unlocked Iphone 4 from a top rated seller in USA, came back to my country, inserted my Sim in the Iphone, and got the message:
    "No Sim" "Insert valid sim with no pin lock to activate Iphone"
    This Sim I was using in my old Iphone and actually in a Blackberry Storm.
    After the message I put it back again in the BB, and it works fine.
    But in the Iphone I get always this message.
    One thing: My SIM is a regular one, and I had to use a tempalte available in the net to cut it into a micro SIM.
    In the BB it keeps on working.
    Any idea?
    Thnak you
    Luis

    I answer your question:  I buy a lot of things from ebay, and I just looked for "an original factory unlocked" one, assuming their are original, just that.
    If I had known I could have bought it CHEAPER directly in Apple, I would have never done it in ebay! (I was told in my country that if you buy in the web, normally you get a discount, sound logic to me.
    On the other hand I saw that this seller sold over 1000 Iphones and I trusted that's all.
    I'm not dealing with phones, I sell art.
    Anyway I still trust what is written there, that they are factory unlocked, and I'll try what you say tomorrow with my carrier: I'll buy a micro sd, and if it still doesn't work, I'll write this seller to see what's going on
    Thanks for your advice

  • How to insert the sim card

    How do you insert the sim card to iPhone 4

    On the side of the phone, you should see a little slot that you can see in this picture:
    Place a bent paperclip or sim card removal tool if you have one into that black hole and the sim card tray should pop out. You can then insert a new sim.
