IPhone SIM in a GoPhone?

There's another post on this topic, but nothing really solid for an answer. Is it possible to buy a cheap GoPhone and use the iPhone's SIM card in it?
There are times when I would prefer not carrying a $600 phone around...ie. beach, amusment park, etc.
I was just at an AT&T store, and got the feeling the guys where not shooting straight with me on this question.
I know the voicemail and other iPhone things won't work, but for calling, this should work fine.

Yes! I opened my AT&T Family plan and go the freebie phone for that purchase; once it was activated, I then activated my iPhone as an Existing AT&T Customer and the switch was done very quickly.
So the freebie phone has an undedicated SIM still in it, but when my son goes to camp next week, he'll put the SIM from his iPhone in the freebie phone.

How do i save numbers from iphone to sim so that i can use a regular nokia with my iphone sim card

Help, I need to send my phone for repair and only have a nokia spare, How can i save my telephone numbers onto my iphone sim, before i transfer the sim card

IIRC the sim from another phone can have data on it but the iPhone will only copy it into contacts if requested
but leaves the data there so you need to have it the other way round ie data on a phone sim that is iPhone compatible used in Nokia or what ever and also in iPhone with sim accessed in Nokia but not in iPhone
Can't guarantee but I am sure someone will shoot me down if there is a flaw in above

You don't. The iPhone stores no data on the sim card. The only thing on an iPhone sim card is your carrier/provider account info.

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

How to I transfer my contacts from iCloud to my new iPhone sim?

Please help with the above!
Thank you

You can't store anything on an iPhone SIM. If your contacts are in iCloud, just go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your account and turn Contacts on. They will then download to your phone.

You might be able to use your iPhone sim. FaceTime calls are only possible over wifi or you can get something like the Skype For iPad app from the store if you want to make video calls over 3G - but you can't do 'normal' phone calls with the iPad.

Can I use my IPhone SIM

I use my iPhone SIM in iPad for 3G access if needed?
THx

No. You need to have a data plan and separate SIM for the iPad. You can't share the data plan between the iPhone and iPad.

IPhone SIM in Other Phone

Hello
I'm thinking of getting an iPhone, and one thing I'd quite like which I've received several different answers for is the following. If I want to (occasionally) use my old phone (a Sony Ericsson K750i, so not a 3G phone) for situations where flashing an iPhone about is a bit risky, would it be possible to just drop the iPhone SIM into my old phone? The O2 shop said the iPhone will come with a new 3G sim which can be used in a non-3G phone, but reading around I've seen people having problems with this. Obviously I wouldn't get 3G functionality on the old phone, but all I would need is calls/SMS.
Thanks in advance

No you can't. The iPlan is specific to the iPhone. In most phones, you will find that you won't get any data coverage with the iPhone sim, just text and voice. In some phones, people have been able to get some data access, but that is subject a charge per kb upon ATT's review. Some people are lucky and it's slipping by. For most people it doesn't work. And for some, they are getting back bills for the extra kb while using the other phone.

Can I use my iPhone SIM card in another phone?

While I save up to get my iphone repaired, can I use my iPhone sim card in my Motorolla Rockr (my prior phone) or do I need to buy a new one? ATT said the sim in my Rockr is permanently disabled...
I would just try it but I'm at work and don't have my iphone here. I want to pickup a sim card on my way home if I can't...

You can use the sim card from the iPhone in any AT&T phone.

IPhone sim, I have an vigin blackberry sim on contract, but want to get an iPhone 4 . Will my SIM fit in or do I have to try an get a special sim from vigin (micro sim)

iPhone sim, I have an vigin blackberry sim on contract, but want to get an iPhone 4 . Will my SIM fit in or do I have to try an get a special sim from vigin (micro sim). Also wil vigrin support an mico sim as I don't want to by an iPhone then have to sell it as I have 24 months left on my contract.

The iPhone uses a micro SIM. As for whether Virgin will support this, you will need to ask them.

What is stored, in addition to contacts, on the iPhone sim card?

Other than Contacts, what is stored on the iphone sim card?

The iPhone can store contacts to the SIM Card, but this is not supported by Apple, but the iPhone can actually write to the SIM Card. The iPhone can read contacts from the SIM Card, so if any contacts are present, it can read them perfectly.
The SIM Card stores your personal phone number and has the User specific Carrier ICCID number among other possible proprietary information.

Can I use my old ATT/iphone sim card in a new iphone?

So, I want to get a new iPhone and put my first AT&T/iPhone sim card, the card that came in my first iPhone into.....will this work? normal activation thru iTunes? and tips, tricks, suggestions, etc.
thanks in advance,
Eric

You have to activate the iPhone because you have to active your iPhone account. This isn't just another phone that you can switch SIM cards between and it work.
I don't know what "back door" you're talking about but I hope that you would know by now the iPhone is not another regular cell phone. But it most certainly does work with any AT&T SIM.

Can I use my AT&T iphone sim in a O2 iphone or vice versa?

No, US phones are locked to AT&T while UK phones are locked to O2.

Anyone try to put their iPhone SIM into their old Blackberry?

I was wondering if anyone has tried to put their iPhone SIM card into their old Blackberry and if they were able to send/receive data.
I was previously on a Blackberry Unlimited plan (BES) with at&t and when I put my iPhone activated SIM card into my Blackberry Curve now the connection shows as "edge" instead of "EDGE". I can not send/receive any data.
The phone portion on the Curve works fine but the data does not.
AT&T told me that if I wanted to restore my Blackberry Unlimited data plan I would have to send them my IMEI number for the Curve and they would "reformat" my SIM card. However, that SIM card would not work in my iPhone after that.
I have heard that people are able to send/receive data on their old RAZRs with iPhone formatted SIM cards but it is strange the way it won't work on my Blackberry.
Anyone else have experience with this?
Anyone have a suggestion for someone that wants to be able to use the Blackberry for business trips but the iPhone when around town and on weekends?
The irony here is that I actually WANT to pay at&t more $$$ per month since the Blackberry unlimited plan is $45 per month, while the iPhone is $20 per month. I am no economics major but most companies would probably want an incremental $300 per year if they could get it.
Thanks in advance.
Oh, and FWIW, I love the iPhone as does my wife. She actually called me at work today and the first words out of her mouth were "I love my iPhone" (she has hated and denied all previous attempts of mine to get her a 'smartphone'). The iPhone allowed her to dial a phone number on her phone while sitting in her car and then choose "handsfree" on the screen which seamlessly transferred the call to the car's bluetooth system. She prefers this option to the "maddening experience of trying to get the car to understand her voice commands (lol!)".

That's what I figured. Thanks for the reply. Just seems odd that they wouldn't want to allow someone to "downshift" to the iPhone with a higher priced data plan if they were willing to pay the extra $25 per month.
I love my Curve but I love my iPhone more.
Thanks again for the quick response. Really appreciate.
If anyone from at&t happens to see this and knows of a workaround for those of us that would like to be able to swap back and forth with a Blackberry until Apple gets the corporate email connectivity functionality, please let me/us know.
