  • 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.

  • HT4528 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.

  • If you have iPhone4 and can you take out the sim card from iPhone4 and transfer it in to new iPhone4s?

    if you have iPhone4 and can you take out the sim card from iPhone4 and transfer it in to new iPhone4s?

    Under the circumstances this will probably considered a dumb question.
    I currently have a jailbroken unlocked 3GS with a GoPhone plan.  Works great.  I am considering upgrading to a new factory unlocked 4S.  Will I be able to swap in my current SIM card and go?

  • 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.

  • If I purchase an iPhone 4S in Indonesia can I unlock it for use in Canada and/or the US. Can I change out the sim card by country?

    If I purchase an iPhone 4S in Indonesia can I unlock it for use in Canada and the US as well? Can I swap out sim cars in each country as well?

    You can't ship back to Apple or any of the authorized carriers, as they do not accept international shipments for iPhone warranty or service work, you must physically bring the phone back.

  • I can't pull out the SIM card from my iPhone

    The SIM card in my iPhone is stuck now and I can't change the SIM card, what should I do?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • Can you legally remove the sim card and use it for another courier?

    I wanted to buy the iPhone 3G but annoyignly O2 have adopted stupid tarrifs that make no sense, so I want to replace my Samsung phone that I bought and use with T-Mobile, with the iPhone 3G. O2 will be selling the handsets individually for PAYG, but will that mean I can only use it for O2's services still?

    There isn't any info yet and don't quote me but I'd say there is very high chance it will be locked to O2 and only work with the sim card that the iphone comes with. It's doubtful it will work with the tmobile sim card.

  • When you restore a iPhone 4 CDMA sprint with out the SIM card how do you acvited it with out a contract ?????????

    Hello there khraye,
    This message appears when the phone is locked to a specific carrier. You will need to contact the carrier the phone is locked to:
    How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier
    Unlock your iPhone
    First, your carrier will need to process your unlock request. Then you'll back up, erase, and restore your iPhone to unlock it.
    Start the process:
    See if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
    Contact your carrier and request an unlock. You might need to meet requirements to qualify for unlocking. After you submit the request to your carrier, it might take a few days to complete. Contact your carrier for the status of your unlock request.
    After your carrier confirms that your iPhone unlock has been processed, go to the next section.
    If you have a SIM card from a carrier other than your current carrier, follow these steps:
    Remove your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
    Complete the setup process.
    If you don't have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
    Back up your iPhone.
    When you have a backup, erase your iPhone.
    Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling
