IPhone works great , Just have a new sim card installed

I read a lots of comments about the Iphone 4S . I had all the problems where it did work for a few minutes and tried everything . Main thing is you need a new sim card 128mb not the 64 . Do not use your old Sim card that you have on the Iphone 4 , Looks like it wares and does problems. I helped many friends where I am now at the Red Sea in our resort in Egypt and thye had many problems but one main thing was the Sim Card.
Other than this no problems at all.
good Luck and hope that you like your Iphone 4S

No carrier "automatically" unlocks at end of contract - many won't do it at all, even if requested.  I don't know what your carrier's policy is since you didn't say what country you're in.
However, if I understand you correctly, you didn't change carriers so it doesn't matter if it was unlocked or not. Try the following steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons for at least 19 seconds until the Apple logo appears
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Replace SIM card (don't care what Telstra says)
5. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
6. Take phone to Apple.

    I have just started getting theihs issue the last couple of days where I am having the turn my phone off and on about 4 to 5 times a day. I have looked on the available posts and seen that this is a known issue on iOS 5.0.0 but was fixed for iOS 5.0.1. I have got iOS 5.1.1 (9B206).
    Is anyone else having this issue or knows how to fix?

    i used to get that , but i simply took out the sim card , dusted it and the sim tray and put it back in , and now i dont get it
    maybe the sim isnt positioned correctly , just my two cents
    hope this fixes it for you

  • Newly-unlocked iPhone 4 will not activate with new sim card

    I recently bought a used iPhone 4 from a friend and brought it with me to Cambodia. The friend initited a request to AT&T to unlock the phone so I could use it, and the request was granted by AT&T. She forwarded me the email with instructions, but I have not been able to successfully complete the unlock. The instructions say:
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
    Ensure a SIM card is inserted into your iPhone.
    Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
    Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
    After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
    When I try this, it refuses to recognize that there is a SIM card installed.
    The instructions don't say it has be any particular SIM card, just "a SIM card" so I'm using my local SIM. I also tried a second SIM with the same result.
    Any ideas why this isn't working or what I should try next?

    I can't even get to an option that asks me that question. I don't want any of the data on the phone now, as that is my friend's data, but I can't even get to a place where I can delete her data or anything else.
    All I get is the "activation" screen options (choose language, country, wifi network) and then the error message that "Activation Failed - please insert a SIM card."
    I'm not sure if that clarifies exactly what you're asking, My apologies if it doesn't, and try asking me again.

  • Help! - iPhone 2g will not activate with new sim card

    I have been given an iPhone 2g for my son. Have activated a new sim card as 02 said this was the reason I could not activate on iTunes. Still cannot get the phone activated. I have reset all settings so am now lost as to what to do next!

    I have tried that but the phone is not being recognised when I connect it to iTunes. I keep getting a message on the phone saying "new sim detected - please connect to iTunes". When I connect to iTunes I get the message "unable to activate - please try later - disconnect the phone" - very, very, frustrating. Didn't have any problems at all when my older son took over my iPhone 3G and put a 3 sim in it (after being unlocked).

  • How do i activate my iPhone when it says there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are trying to activate?

  • Iphone 5, after 8.3 update, "no SIM card installed"  alert began.

    after 8.3 update, my phone alerts me with a "no sim card installed", i reboot my iphone, it works for minutes then same problem, and i'm sure that's caused by the last update.
    Your wars with jailbreakers stuff aren't our problem, please throw your updates without crashing our iphones.

    I am having this same issue. I upgraded a brand new iphone 4, unlocked, never been jailbroken or anything like that, and after i downloaded ios 5 and upgraded the phone to it, i'm getting "SIM not valid. Only compatible SIM cards from a supportted Carrier may be used to activate iphone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card".
    No idea what to do....
    Any help is welcome!

  • Ipad Air 2 cellular/Wifi - With new sim card installed keeps on saying NO SIM

    I got new ipad air 2 - installed Carrier sim card, Ipad keeps on saying no sim found  "NO SIM"
    On call with Apple technicians this problem was resolved by resetting the network settings, but today again its showing NO SIM
    Has anyone else encountered this problem

    Chiming in from the US, it seems that a lot more of us are having this issue as well lately. My iPad has worked well under 3 OSs and I have never seen that NO SIM message until this week. I am running iOS 5 since it was released, but have not yet upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and all of a sudden, I see that NO SIM message pretty much all the time.
    I have never removed my SIM or had any trouble with 3G before this week. It's not a big problem for me since I don't use it very often at all - not even on a data plan now - but it's annoying and not what I paid for. And if it happens to my wife, she'll be in trouble.
    Apple folks, has there been any official acknoeldgement for this issue, and has it been properly elevated so it will be addressed? There are quite a few threads on this out there.

  • HELP! BB Torch 9810 tells me that I have a new SIM card and it is not accepting my BB ID username and password.

    My torch decided to quit on me today. I don't know why this happened, but I have tried pulling the battery out and inputting the information that would work and nothing is working. How do I fix this? I am on my last attempt out of 10 and if I don't get it right, I am sure that it will erase everything on my phone and I don't have anything backed up. Would I be better off to pull my memory card out and restore to default settings then. I can get the contacts back, but not the pics once they are reset. I really don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • My iphone4 was crunched can I buy just a new sim card?

    My Iphone 4 was run over. I have an old Iphone3. Can I just buy a new sim card and use the old one?

    Yes, you can. You will need to go to your carrier and get a new sim card for a 3G in the store. Do you still have the iPhone 4? I would be interested in possibly buying it. [email protected]
