  • Is it possible to activate an iPhone 4S with an inactive SIM card?

    I have the phone and a SIM card from my carrier, but the card hasn't been activated yet. I've read on the internet that it is possible to activate iPhones with inactive or old sim cards as long as they are from the appropriate carrier, but my card doesn't seem to work. Whenever I try to activate my iPhone, it tells me to insert a valid and unlocked SIM. I have disabled the PIN code using another phone, but it still doesn't work. Is this a hardware issue or do I simply have to wait for my service plan and SIM card to be activated?
    I am worried about this because the phone worked well without a SIM card until I reset it to the factory settings. (This is a used phone.)

    Could somebody please help me? It is quite important.

  • My iphone 4 will no longer accept my PIN

    Hi! I have had my iphone 4 inactive for some months as I have changed phone. Now I want to hand it over to my son. First, I couldn't make it accept my own PIN-code. Trying to use my son's brand new SIM-card, it will not accept that code either. What is wrong and what can I do?
    a.

    What PIN code, are you referring to the Unlock screen?  That will only accept the security code that was setup by the user and has NO bearring on the SIM card installed in the device.
    If you have forgotten the unlock code, restore the device either via backup from the computer it normally syncs with or as new from any computer with iTunes.
    If you are referring to the SIM unlock PIN code, enter the correct code or get a new SIM from the carrier.

  • Old iPhone

    I currently have a Verizon iPhone 4. I don't want to upgrade, I want to get a cheap phone with a cheap plan.
    If I switch my phone number to a new phone can I still use the iPhone 4 like an iPod Touch? I especially want to keep using Kindle and keep all my books.
    Kevin

    Doesn't answer all questions, for instance I have a Verizon iPhone so there is no sim card. Also, it is a currenty active iPhone. If I buy a new phone that is not an Apple phone and Verizon switches my phone number over does the phone part of the iPhone go inactive?
    Would I still need to re-activate with iTunes?
    Would my Kindle account still remain active if I don't change the phone's name or would I have to add it as a new connection?

  • IPhone OI7 sleep setting

    Prior to IO7, my iphone when inactive would go into what I call a sleep mode....dark screen....want to use it ....hit the home button, use the slide bar..(I don't passcode my phone).  Now, it just appears to stay lit up all day.  Runs the battery down.  What can I do??

    Sorry, there is no way to do that. You can suggest Apple add that as a feature here:

  • IPhone 5c activation ALLSET PREPAID Plan

    I currently have an iPhone 4 on 3G smartphone ALLSET Plan With Verizon. I got a iPhone 5c from a friend that already has a SIM card, and don't know how to activate it, and make my iPhone 4 inactive. From all the things I have seen, it requires you to start all over and choose a new phone number etc. I just want my number to be transferred to my iPhone 5c. Any suggestions? Any numbers/websites that will let me activate my new device? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

  • How can i change my ID on iCloud on my iPhone 4s from an inactive e-mail to my present one?

    Help!!! need to change my iPhone's iCloud ID from my old inactive email address to my present active address any ideas how this can be achieved?
    It wont let me delete the account as it requires a password to turn off the "Find my Phone" function but the ID is an inactive email account i used to use so i cant change it back as i wouldnt be able to verify the account :-(
    Any ideas anybody its really frustrating?

    no one knows how to fix this yet?

  • How can I set up an inactive iPhone 3GS as an iPod?

    I have an inactive iPhone 3GS that has been restored to factory settings. I can not seem to get past the setup screens without putting in an active sim card. I don't have a sim card to put in it, nor do I want to put one in, I only want to use it for an mp3 player.
    Is there a way around the set up screens? Can I use this expensive piece of equipment I OWN?

    I'm pretty sure the only you can activate it is by putting in a sim card. This is just for the intial activation part. Once that is done you can remove the sim card and use it as an ipod.
    If you don't have a sim you could try borrowing one from a friend? It's only temporary and the whole process will only take a couple of minutes
    Hope this helps!

  • Transfering Audio Books from my iMac to my INACTIVE iPhone.

    How do I transfer Audio Books from my iMac to my INACTIVE iPhone?

    The same way you would to any ipod/iphone.
    Select whatever you would like to sync, then sync it.
    FYI: Leave the SIM card in your iphone that was in it when it was active. Without it you will not be able to restore or upgrade.

  • HT4623 Hi I am using iphone 4 and when updated iOS to 6.1.3 then my SIM has become inactive and APN details also have gone. I am using AIRTEL prepaid SIM card in India

    I updaed my iphone 4 to 6.1.3 and have lost the APN detils and my SIM has also become inactive. I am using AIRTEL India SIM CARD (prepaid)
    Kindly suggest what to do. I tried unlockit.co.nz and did setting for APN but it doesn't help.

    Sounds as if your iPhone was hacked to release a carrier lock
    Attempting to update the iOS will lock back to that original carrier
    I tried unlockit.co.nz and did setting for APN but it doesn't help.
    so you have a hacked iPhone and tried to hack it again
    Sorry you can get no help on this Apple hosted forum.

    I am having a similar issue. I had to change my apple ID because my email account is close, but am unable to change my iCloud ID. It seems there is no way to change the iCloud ID. Unless I am missing something, this seems like an oversight by Apple. Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone 5 or Mac to an inactive iPhone 4S that my granddaughter uses ( it doesn't have Internet connection )

    How do I transfer photos and videos from my iPhone 5 or Mac to an inactive iPhone 4S that my granddaughter uses ( it doesn't have Internet connection )

    Two steps:
    you can first transfer photos from iPhone to computer and then drag them to the external hard drive. For your iTunes library, you can follow:
    1. Quit iTunes.
    2. Locate your external drive.
    Mac: On the desktop or Finder sidebar.
    3. Locate your iTunes folder:By default, the iTunes folder is located in:
    Mac: Finder > username > Music
    4. Drag the iTunes folder to your external drive. This can take a while if you have a lot of items.
    6. When the transfer is complete, your iTunes Library will have been successfully copied to your external drive.

  • Up until the ios7 upgrade I could track all our family's devices from my 3GS, now since upgrading on the iPhone 4S and 5 I can't track them as they come up as 'offline'! And inactive on my icloud id added on the devices!! Please advise.

    Up until the ios7 upgrade I could track all our family's devices from my 3GS, now since upgrading to ios7 on the iPhone 4S and 5 I can't track them as they come up as 'offline'! And inactive on my icloud id that added on the devices!! Because I. can't upgrade to ios7 on my 3GS is that why, or do I need to do something else on each device?

    It's possible that installing iOS7 on the other devices made the setting to the default for "Find My Friends". The default is off/disabled. Thus they are off line.
    Double check their settings for that feature.
