How to activate iphone 4s? It's World but still "sim not valid"
Hey guys the same happened to me with Factory unlocked iPhone 4S from apple store switzerland.
I took it back to Apple store, and replaced with a new one that worked perfectly.
The Genius at apple told me it is the only way... sorry for the bad news my friend in vietnam.
and it seems this problem is popping even on locked phones.

Please i just got an ipnone 4 from my brother in the UK, after unlocking and upgrading to IOS5, it keeps showing "sim card not valid" when i want to activate it. am confused, and any help will be well appreciated. Thanks i live in Nigeria
How was this iPhone unlocked? Did a carrier unlock for you?
If you did the unlocking by jailbreaking there is nothing anyone on here can do to help you. -
I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it." I cannot place my iPhone 4s sim card in it (too small), and i do not want to get a new contract or sim card for an iPhone that i do not ues very much.
Thanks for your help, but i cannot borrow a noral sim card now, my family has all up graded to iPhone 4s's, i have done this before, but one of my family had the same type of iphone so i could use theirs. Now i am the only one who still holds on to their old phone... I am not sure about buying an adapter...

hi pls help me my iphone is forest i update but after my iphone is devices open is not working i click but sim card installed , attempting to activate this one coming pls help me answer me
Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

K, so i got a new sim for my iphone 4 with ios7 (vodaphone) and it says 'SIM Not Valid' help?
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Thats what it says on itunes. need help. someone tell me why this is happening and hot to fix it!!!Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

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. -
I restored my iphone5 after forgetting the passcode unfortunately i am not able to activate the phone because it can't recognize my sim card
Has the phone been officially unlocked by the provider before? Only the provider can unlock the phone, if the phone has been jailbroken to unlock it, restoring will lock it again.

How to activate sim lock to iphone 4s
how to activate sim lock to iphone 4s? and how to activate international roaming sim using iphone 4s?
What do you mean how to activate SIM lock? If the device is locked to a particular carrier, and you do not want to use that carrier, you have to ask them about unlocking the device. As far as international roaming, that is determined by the carrier, contact your carrier.

is it necessary to put in sim card in iphone at the time of restore ? My phone is stolen and i am concerned that if somebody will restore it then i will not be able to find it even using find my phone.
There is no way that you can locate the iphone at all.
The thief can restore it and use it as their own. You will never know or be able to tell what they do with it.
Very sorry. Your iphone is gone.
Report it to the police and change your passwords. -
After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?
Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed. -

The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.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.
